The attack of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the north of Kharkiv region exposed the weaknesses of Ukraine - CNN

About it reports CNN. Russian troops launched an offensive from the north of the Kharkiv region on May 10 along the 60-kilometer region of the front. Now it became known that they have seized several villages in the gray zone and fighting in the Volchansk area. The publication claim that the offensive of the Russian Federation has become another example that Ukrainian forces are weaker than Russian. They are smaller, less ammunition and the sky is not sufficiently protected.

However, the most important shortage is fighters. According to Ukrainian intelligence, April-May had to become difficult for the Armed Forces, because weapons are still lacking. Despite the crazy losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they have a 500,000th group within Ukraine or at its borders. The assault from the north took place after the creation of a new Russian military group called "North". It should be up to 100,000 fighters.

"Russia has sought to form 60-100 thousand soldiers for the North OU to attack Kharkiv. We currently estimate the number of up to 50 thousand," said Jodge Barros from the Institute of War Study. It was they who attacked the north of the Kharkiv region and have a new tactical sign. The offensive was expected, so the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation suffered great losses. However, the ambitions of the Russian Federation can increase if they transfer special units to the Kharkiv direction.

The publication also provides the words of a representative of the Ukrainian SCO, who stated that the offensive of the Russian Federation was just a beginning. The occupiers have bridgeheads for further promotion. Analysts believe that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will try to expand geography and attack in the Sumy region, where the raids of the Russian DRG have been ongoing for several months.

They will not be able to occupy Kharkiv, but according to Barros, they seek to move the reserves from Donetsk region to Kharkiv. This should create opportunities to capture the whole Donetsk region. Another purpose may be jeopardy of the Kupjian grouping of Ukrainian defenders. The Russians have increased the total number of attacks throughout the front, because they understand that they have several weeks before Western help will not start arriving in the right amount.

Therefore, they beat not only on Earth, but also from the air by the Fabs from the UMPC. "The recent achievements of Russia that we see now are not just opportunistic. The Russians have been preparing for it and now they are using it. Ukraine may have to make difficult decisions because of the slowness of the US and the dilemma that is now arising," Barros summarized. We will remind, on May 12 the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Syrsky told about the situation in Kharkiv region.
