Kharkiv Governor Syniehubov Downplays Threat of Major Russian Offensive. Amidst reports of a potential large-scale Russian assault on Kharkiv, the Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, offered a reassuring statement during a recent telethon. He confirmed that active fighting continues, but insisted that the situation remains under control and that there is no evidence of a major Russian breakthrough.
