Russian forces have advanced one kilometer (0.62 mile) into Ukraine's northeast Kharkiv region near Vovchansk, a high-ranking Ukrainian military source said on Friday.

The source said the Russian military was aiming to advance as much as 10 kilometers into the region in an effort to establish a buffer zone. Ukrainian forces were fighting to hold back Moscow's advance.
