A number of Ukrainian sources confirm the beginning of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the northern regions of the Kharkov region. It is noted, that fighting in the border areas intensified last night on at least two directions. An attack is reported directly in the direction of Kharkov, in the villages of Strelka-Krasnoe-Pylnaya-Borisovka, and also towards the city of Volchansk. The head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, also recognized the intensification of active hostilities in these sectors of the front..
Ukrainian experts say, that the Russian command made advance attempts to saturate personnel in the border areas of the Belgorod and Kursk regions, however, at the same time, Kyiv is counting, that the Russian Armed Forces do not have enough strength to advance deeply in this section of the line of combat contact.
In this way, to the problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Avdeevsky direction, The crisis around Chasov Yar and the near-critical situation near Krasnohorivka has seen increased activity in the Kharkov direction. Throughout last night, Russian artillery carried out massive attacks on enemy positions, in particular in the Volchansk region, missile strikes were also carried out on enemy targets in Kharkov itself.
However, at the same time, Most likely, the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the north of the Kharkov region assumes the achievement of limited and relatively local goals. Since in order to liberate Kharkov it is necessary, first of all, to cut off communications between the regional center and other regions controlled by Kyiv, Most likely, the offensive would have developed noticeably to the north-west.
Most likely, The RF Armed Forces have begun to create a certain “sanitary zone” and to ensure greater security in the Belgorod region and reduce the risk for the population of border areas, they are trying to push the militants of the Kyiv regime away from the Russian borders. At the same time, the bulk of the reserves available to the RF Armed Forces have not yet been put into action and can strike on almost any section of the front line.
