Analysts find it unlikely that Russia has increased sufficient combat power to seize Kharkiv without attracting its additional forces. Russia is trying to distract the Ukrainian forces from other areas of the front line, starting an offensive in the Kharkiv region. At the same time, the border city of Vovchansk is currently the immediate goal of Russians. This is stated in the Construction of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, published on Tuesday, May 14.

"The recently formed northern group of Russian troops invaded the Kharkiv region of Ukraine and has taken control of several settlements. The border city of Vovchansk is almost certainly the direct goal of Russia and now Russian and Ukrainian troops are fighting for it," the report said. In addition, British intelligence believes that its new offensive of the Russian Federation is also trying to create a threat to Kharkiv.

However, "it is unlikely that Russia has accumulated sufficient combat power to take the city without attracting additional forces in the area. " On May 14, the chairman of the Kharkiv Ova Oleg Synigubov stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have some success in promotion and move in the direction of the village of Lipka. Rifle battles continue between the Ukrainian military and Russian invaders on the outskirts of Vovchansk.
