Russia launched a Surprise Offensive there last week, with one analysis suggesting Russian Forces have advanced by about 10 kilometres, creating a new front in the war on ukraine. A sixteen and a half hour Air Raid Alert has now been lifted in kharkiv itself. Our ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse is in kyiv with the latest. This war has now firmly moved from Trench Warfare in this North Eastern part of the front line.
