"We are in favor of": Kovalenko explained why Ukraine is profitable for the Russian Federation to Sumy region (video)
According to him, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation does not currently have a sufficient resource to achieve significant successes of operative-tactical level in Kharkiv region, especially near Lipts and Vovchansk. In addition, the occupiers need to concentrate "free" troops and equipment in order to strike in Sumy region, but they do not have them because they charge groups of "West", "South" and "Dnipro" under Belgorod in order to continue the fighting at least Luchanskaya direction.
Therefore, Oleksandr Kovalenko said, the Russian command has now faced the dilemma: to try to implement plans to open a new front, which is almost suicide, or continue to support one of the "promising" directions, say, "Vovchansk" location. "If they open the Sumy Front, it is even in favor of us. Because they will spend a resource that they lack so much," Alexander Kovalenko explained.
