Russia Opens New Front in Ukraine Invasion

Surprise Offensive Launches Amidst Broad Attacks

Russia has launched a surprise offensive in northern Ukraine, opening up a new front in its ongoing invasion of the country. The move comes as Russia continues to carry out a wide range of attacks, stretching Ukrainian forces thin.

According to CNN, Russian forces have resumed offensive operations north of Lyptsi, while Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk has reported an intensification of attacks in the east. The Transnational Threats Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has released an interactive map tracking the Russian invasion, which shows the extent of the attacks.
