Key developments on March 29: * Russian assault on Kharkiv can't be ruled out, chief commander says * Syrskyi: 500,000 mobilization figure 'significantly reduced' * Zelensky: Russia targets Kaniv, Dnister hydroelectric power plants overnight * Romania says it found possible drone fragments on its territory following Russian attack on Ukraine * Defense committee considers

Russia’s attempt to take the city of Kharkiv can’t be ruled out, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said on March 29.

In an interview with Ukrinform, Syrskyi said Ukraine’s Armed Forces were “taking all measures to adequately respond to such a possibility.”

Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, located just over 30 kilometers south of the Russian border, has in recent weeks seen an escalation in strikes from Russian missiles, drones, and air bombs.

A recent report by Latvia-based Russian media outlet Meduza claimed “political elites” have not ruled out that President Vladimir Putin will order a ground offensive against the city.
