I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the one hundred and second day of the war.

Day 102: June 05

In the Kharkiv region the Russians are attacking in multiple directions. The first line of attack remains Shestakove and Fedorivka. This is their main line of attack because the Russians are trying to prevent the Ukrainians from attacking their main supply roads and centers that ensure the stability of their operations in the east. The distance between Staryi Saltiv and Bilyi Kolodiaz is 20 km, and given that there are only small and sparsely located villages in this region, the Ukrainians started to pose a significant threat. The Ukrainians do not necessarily need take control over these settlements in order to make swift attacks. The Russians needed to fix, and they needed to fix it fast, before a critical amount of forces on the right bank of the river would be agglomerated. That is why they took control over the road Kharkiv-Staryi Saltiv. So far no engagement has been reported apart from the Russians bombing Staryi Saltiv. Overall, the situation here remains very unstable. In the northern part of this region, after the Russians took the village of Slobozhanske, they assaulted the village of Bohzhova, but the Ukrainians managed to repel this attack.

In the north-east, a lot of things are happening along the whole front line. In the Sviatohirsk direction, the Ukrainians forces in the small village of Sosnove retreated to Sviatohisk, so the Russians now have control over this settlement. Some sources reported an engagement in Studenok, however, so far the village should still be under the Ukrainian control. The Russian forces that were assaulting Sviatohirsk pulled back after an unsuccessful attempt to take it, and are now waiting in Yarova until something changes. Since the attack from the north was put on hold, a duel between the Ukrainian and Russian artilleries began, so this region was under a heavy shelling. In the Bohorodychne direction the Russians are failing to achieve any success once again, I think this is their third if not fourth major attempt to take this village. So the Russians failed to take this region from the north, from the west, and that is why they have recently started to attack it from the south-west. The Ukrainian General Staff reports that fights are taking place in Dovhenke and Dolyna. But just like the Russians have tried and failed in the village of Bohorodychne several times, they failed to establish control over Dovhenke. They did control this village for some time, to be fair, but the Ukrainians took it back. The Ukrainians also used their aviation several days ago to bomb the Russians forces that were being prepared for another assault on Dovhenke, so I do not expect a breakthrough here. The Russians seem to have the same expectations because they moved even further down the front line in order to attempt to enter this region from an even more southern direction. They assaulted the villages of Dibrivne and Kurukla but these attacks were repelled. Facing such a high resistance in this direction, I think we can expect the Russians to focus more on the Lyman direction. Once they finish establishing their positions on the left bank of the river, they will for sure try to breach the Ukrainian defense from the eastern part of this region.
