is mobilized to give you the latest information on the conflict.

On Tuesday evening, Russian bombardments hit Kharkiv, just hours after the surprise visit to this city in northeastern Ukraine by the head of German diplomacy, Annalena Baerbock, with her Ukrainian counterpart.

The symbol is strong for the Russians because if the city was the target of multiple bombardments at the beginning of the conflict, the Ukrainian forces were able to defend it.

The fighting front has since moved away and is currently about 130 km away.
