Ukrainian troops report a symbolic success in their counter-offensive in the eastern Kharkiv region: they have at least at one point advanced to the border with Russia. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense released a video showing a dozen soldiers next to a border post in the national colors of blue and yellow. According to the information, they belong to a volunteer brigade from the city of Kharkiv.
The Ukrainian military had already reported in the past few days that they were gradually pushing back Russian troops near Kharkiv. Russia had already withdrawn its troops in northern Ukraine after being stopped in front of the capital, Kiev. Russia is currently concentrating on the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where pro-Russian separatists have had some areas under their control with help from Moscow since 2014.
Despite heavy Russian attacks, the Ukrainian army still controls around 10 percent of Luhansk, according to the regional governor. In particular, the Russians have not been able to take the outskirts of the cities of Rubishne, Sievjerodonetsk and Lysychansk so far, Serhiy Hajday said on Sunday. According to the regional administration, three civilians were killed and 13 others injured in Russian attacks in the Donetsk region, also in eastern Ukraine.

It is normal for the reservoirs to fill up again in spring and summer. As heaters are turned off, the demand for energy falls. In view of an imminent supply stop of Russian natural gas, it is particularly important this year that the storage facilities are well filled. Gas storage compensates for fluctuations in gas consumption and thus forms a kind of buffer system for the gas market.
The storage tanks are usually well filled at the beginning of the heating period in autumn, and the levels then decrease by spring. On cold winter days, up to 60 percent of gas consumption in Germany is covered by German storage facilities. According to the new storage law, they should be 90 percent full by November 1st.
