10:46Now PlayingIn northeastern Ukraine, Russian forces have intensified attacks on Kupyansk near the Russian border. Russia occupied the city for 6 months before being pushed out. Now they want to take it again. Ukrainian authorities earlier this month ordered the evacuation of Kupyansk and surrounding areas. DW’s Aya Ibrahim accompanied a Red Cross unit as they went door to door, trying to persuade civilians to leave.
Meanwhile Ukraine is trying to push Russian forces farther south as the country continues its counteroffensive. After weeks of fighting, Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian defensive lines in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeast to retake more territory. On Monday, Kyiv's defense ministry announced it had fully reclaimed the village of Robotyne. But Kyiv's advances have been slow as they push through Russia's heavily fortified positions and vast minefields.
