Though Russia would have to commit huge resources to capture Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv, it could compel Ukraine to send more troops to the region, leaving other areas more vulnerable to attack. Forcing Ukrainian authorities to evacuate civilians is also likely to create disruption and divert resources.

While Putin's ground forces try to push back the Ukrainian defenders, artillery, drones and missiles battered several locations in the Kharkiv region.

Olena Kurylo, who became known as the 'Face of the War' after her home was destroyed in Moscow 's initial bombardment just hours into the conflict on February 24, 2022, said residents feared this was 'the start of the Kharkiv assault - and that we will all perish here'. 'We are not sleeping, again, just now was the tenth air raid alert of the night,' Olena, 54, told reporters in the early hours of the morning.

The defiant teacher - who was treated in Britain for damage to her eye in Putin's 2022 strikes on residential areas of Kharkiv - said: 'We won't leave. They destroyed my house on the first day of the war, it is still in ruins. They killed my health, my eyesight. They've deprived me of everything - and I want to ask why? This is our land. This is home. There is no reason why our huge neighbour is destroying us. There is no excuse for millions of broken lives.

These missiles are believed to have caused the damage to the residential buildings. The overnight attack on Kharkiv came just one day after Ukraine said it was forced to limit power supplies across the country and warned of possible blackouts after a 'massive' wave of Russian missiles and drones had targeted the country's battered energy system. Moscow also said its forces had taken control of two more frontline villages, as it ups its attacks on land and from the skies with Ukrainian troops struggling more than two years into the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia's attack 'deliberate, calculated and sneaky.' 'Almost 60 missiles and more than 20 Shahed drones targeting life-supporting civilian infrastructure. Not a single military target. Life itself was the target overnight, as it has been for hundreds of other similar days in this war,' he said in a social media post.

The intensified strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure triggered fresh warnings of blackouts as state power operator Ukrenergo said it was limiting supplies. 'Ukrenergo's dispatch centre is forced to limit power supply to industry and business from 18:00 to 23:00. The scope of the restrictions will be distributed evenly among all regions,' it said in a statement. 'The reason for the restrictions is the shortage of electricity caused by a massive Russian missile and drone attack on energy facilities,' it added. Nevertheless, Kyiv has continued to demonstrate its ability to strike back, destroying another oil refinery in Russia in a kamikaze drone attack on Kaluga region yesterday. Footage showed a huge inferno at the First Plant processing facility - hours after Ukraine flew another attack drone across almost 950 miles of Russia - a record distance - to impact the giant Salavat plant in Bashkortostan.

Regional governor Vladislav Shapsha confirmed the attack, reporting: 'The extent of damage to the enterprise's infrastructure is being assessed.' Ukrain e also targeted Bryansk, Kursk, Moscow and Belgorod regions. The fighting came as Putin opted for continuity in re-appointing technocrat Mikhail Mishustin as prime minister.
