The Kharkiv region in Ukraine remains a focal point of intense conflict through 2026. In recent developments, Ukrainian drone operators from the 57th Brigade successfully targeted Russian artillery near Nova Tavolzhanka, Belgorod region.

In Kupiansk, 'Skelia' fighters from the 425th Separate Assault Regiment recount their arduous 95-day battle to reclaim a key hospital stronghold from Russian control.
