Ukrainian military sources revealed on the 10th that Russian troops have intensified their offensive in the eastern Kharkiv Oblast, which borders Russia, since the morning of the same day, and have advanced about 1 km into Ukrainian territory. According to the governor, one resident was killed and several others injured in the shelling of Bolchansk in the northern part of the region. Fighting continued into the afternoon of the 10th. Sources said the Russian military is seeking to create a buffer zone around 10 kilometers from the border to reduce shelling of its territory.

At several oil refineries in Russia, a personnel shortage is beginning, the publication “That’s So” found out . Refinery workers are leaving en masse due to drone attacks. Now they are urgently recruiting new employees.
At least seven chemical analysis technicians quit the Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region after it was attacked by Ukrainian drones in late March. “That’s So” studied the vacancies at the refinery and found out that in April the company began an active search for new employees, posting about 50 advertisements. Most of the vacancies are related to engineering specialties or plant technical support. At the same time, State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein then noted that the attack took place “without any special consequences.”
Journalists also found out that mass layoffs also took place at the Slavyansk Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar Territory. In April, the plant began actively looking for new employees. Of the more than 120 new vacancies, half are related to technical support of the enterprise.

On the 10th, the Russian military moved into a new ground invasion in the border area. The Ukrainian military counterattacked, and Commander-in-Chief Sirsky reported to President Zelenskiy that ``heavy fighting is occurring across the entire front (including the eastern and southern regions).''
Kharkiv Oblast is adjacent to Belgorod Oblast in western Russia. The border line had become a ``front line,'' and an artillery battle was being waged on both sides. There are fears that the Russian military may launch its first large-scale invasion from northeastern Ukraine since 2022, further escalating tensions. The evacuation of residents also accelerated.
In March, Russian President Putin mentioned the scenario of occupying Kharkiv Oblast as a "buffer zone" to prevent rockets from being fired into Belgorod Oblast. Reuters reported that the move on the 10th was believed to be aimed at pushing Ukrainian forces 10 kilometers away from the border.

Russian attacks in north-east Ukraine have prompted the evacuation of almost 1,800 people from the Kharkiv area, the regional head has said.
Heavy fighting has continued in the border area following Russia's surprise incursions on Friday.
Kyiv has been expecting a Russian summer offensive for some time - including a possible attempt to capture Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city.
But Ukraine insists its forces are able to resist any attack.
On Saturday Russia said it had seized five villages near the town of Vovchansk in its latest offensive. The BBC has not been able to independently verify the claim.
It is still not clear how far the Russians will advance - whether this is a probing attack or the start of something bigger.
Ukrainian artillery guns are now firing back. The booms of exchanging fire echo loudly down the already bomb-damaged streets.
A total of 1,775 people have been evacuated, Kharkiv regional head Oleh Syniehubov said on social media. Hundreds more remain in Vovchansk, just 6km (3.7 miles) from the Russian border.
Serhii, a resident, told the BBC that his home and vehicles had been destroyed by a Russian glide bomb.
His wife had been rushed to hospital with more serious injuries. Small fires were still pouring smoke across the remnants of his home.
