The 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive[a] was a major counteroffensive operation during the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on 6 September 2022.[17] Following the launch of the Kherson counteroffensive in southern Ukraine in late August, Ukrainian forces began a second counteroffensive in early September in Kharkiv Oblast, in Eastern Ukraine.[18]
During the offensive, Ukraine retook over 500 settlements and 12,000 square kilometers of territory in the Kharkiv region.[19][20]
