Video clip shows Ukrainian forces reaching the Russian border

A video clip showed a group of Ukrainian forces making their way to the Russian border, marking a symbolic victory for the country against which Russia started the war nearly three months ago.

The video clip, which was published by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry late on Sunday evening, shows about 12 soldiers in the eastern city of Kharkiv, arriving at a Ukrainian border point.

The Kharkiv region, whose capital bears the same name, came under some of the fiercest Russian attacks during the early days of the war, and the focus remained after Russian forces redirected their operations in eastern Ukraine, after making slight advances in the rest of the country.

The fact that Ukrainian forces could carry out such an operation on the border is a psychological victory for its side.

Ukrainian forces have reported victories on the Russian side in the region for several days now.
