NYPost: Russian TV acknowledges ‘substantial victory’ for Kyiv after Ukrainian breakthrough
KYIV, Ukraine — Russian state television broadcast an interview Friday acknowledging that Kyiv had achieved a “substantial victory” after Ukrainian forces burst through the front line in a lightning advance.
The Ukrainian breakthrough near Kharkiv was the fastest advance reported by either side for months, and one of the biggest shifts in the war’s momentum since Russian forces abandoned a disastrous assault on Kyiv, the capital, in March. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said troops had “liberated dozens of settlements” and reclaimed more than 1,000 square km (385 square miles) of territory in the Kharkiv region in the east as well as Kherson in the south in the past week.

The above video from the Military Summary channel provides a good analysis on the Kharkiv front. As to what is my take. Along the entire front the Russian military is holding its own, but it is a disaster on the Kharkiv front the Russian Ministry of Defense will need to address ASAP.
