Ukrainian troops fighting in Kharkiv reached the border with Russia, according to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Kharkiv’s regional governor.

Footage released on May 15 shows troops sending a message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“We’ve made it Mr President, we are here,” a soldier says in the video, according to a translation.

The defense ministry said the group was a battalion of the 127th Territorial Defense Brigade in Kharkiv.

Kharkiv Governor Oleh Synyehubov said the troops restored a sign at the border.
