Kharkov
Eastern Ukrainian city
Kharkov is the Russian spelling of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, located in the northeast near the Russian border.
The city was founded under Russian imperial rule and served as Soviet Ukraine's first capital.
Since Ukraine's independence, Kharkiv has become the preferred English spelling, though Kharkov persists in historical contexts and Russian-language sources.
The Battle of Kharkov was among the war's bloodiest engagements.
