Will open the prospects: where the new offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Kharkiv is directed - the observer

The Russians try to step from two directions to the east of Kharkiv, Konstantin Mashovets explained. This is a tactical operation, so Ukraine will not lose large territories, although it is predicted in the West. The Russian command gathered a 40,000th army northwest of Kharkiv and some of the units are still in the reserve. The purpose of the Russians may be to "cut" the speech, that is, the re -occupation of the territory, which is located in the area of ​​the Pechenezh Reservoir.

Konstantin Mashovets, a military observer of the group "Information Resistance" on the air of "Channel 24", told about the new direction. Mashovets explained that the original plan of command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Khark and Vovchansk had failed. The main blow of the enemy was aimed at the breakthrough of the Armed Forces line to the west of Vovchansk and the release of the Ukrainian group in the area of ​​the White Well and the Great Burluk.

Thus, the Russians would support the situation near Kupyansk - for this purpose they involved the forces of the 11th Army Corps, the observer said. During a new offensive on Kharkiv, the Russians tried to realize the "principle of operational art" - that is, they were advanced from two directions: thus the enemy would be able to re -seize the territory that "crashes" in the position of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, explained the observer.

Mashovets also named the forces concentrated by the Russians to achieve the goals in the Kharkiv region: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation transferred parts from the West group closer to the Ukrainian borders and now new forces are operating in the area of ​​responsibility of the North of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the observer explained.

In this direction, a new 40,000th army was collected, which was only partially thrown into battle-that is, the Russians still have reserves for the offensive. In addition, if necessary, they have the opportunity to use another 6-7 battalions (each-about 500 people and 40 BMP or APC). Journalists asked Mashovets whether the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would be able to occupy large territories of Ukraine by the end of 2024, as Western special services warned.

In his opinion, this is only possible if the enemy success is much larger than it is now, the observer said. "In the medium term, there is no such prerequisite for the enemy to perform some successful offensive operation of the operational scale. Because to capture the territories of significant, it is at least necessary to implement some operational offensive operation, and not tactically, as they do now," - " he said.

It should be noted that the new offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2024 began on May 10 in two directions-in Kharkiv and Vovchansk, shows the online card of fighting Deepstate. The German Bild Vild, after two weeks of activation of the Russians, stated that the promotion was stopped, while the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues to go to the frontal attacks and spare live power.
