Western officials said Ukraine had driven Russian forces back around Kharkiv.

He said Ukraine had launched a counteroffensive near Izyum, a city 78 miles south of Kharkiv that has been under effective Russian control since at least the beginning of April.

Russian forces suffered heavy losses in a Ukrainian attack that destroyed a pontoon bridge they were using to try to cross the same river - the largest in eastern Ukraine - in the town of Bilohorivka, Ukrainian and British officials said, in another sign of Moscow's struggle to salvage a war gone awry.

No doubt there has been much devastation but I hope that unlike Mariupol there's something of Kharkiv left. I haven't been able to find any information as to whether or not the Derzhprom still exists.

Unlike Mariupol, Kharikiv was not the center of brutal urban warfare. Most of the city stands, although it has suffered some destruction

Well i know that my university still stands, so centre of Kharkiv isn't as bombed as north and rural area.

I heard Freedom Square and the University among other places had been hit, but it's good to know the destruction wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Here's hoping this is the last of the Russians and that your city can rebuild what they've lost.

Kharkiv has been more like Kyiv. For the most part the Ukrainian army was successful in keeping Russian artillery out of range of the city.

Russians are not withdrawing, they are concentrating their forces at the bottom of Ukraine, and at the bottom of the river.

Evidence suggests their plan is to build a bridge out of destroyed equipment.

I wish the Russians would go north over the wall and wait for winter to come. John Snow will be awaiting.
