Kharkiv residents catiously optimistic after Russians driven from city

Published May 16, 2022 at 12:06 PM CDT

Ukrainian forces appear to have driven Russian troops from the city of Kharkiv in what’s being called a victory in the battle over control of Ukraine’s second-largest city, only 31 miles from Russia’s border.

Kharkiv news analyst Maria Avdeeva joins host Jane Clayson with the latest from the region.
