The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation under Kharkov expanded the area of ​​active fighting by 70 km - Syrsky

According to the Ukrainian head, the enemy tries to take control of Vovchansk with a further offensive in the rear of Ukrainian troops. However, the Russian Armed Forces did not manage to break through the Armed Forces defense. Russian troops in the Kharkiv direction expanded the area of ​​active fighting by almost 70 kilometers. In this way, the enemy tries to force the Ukrainian forces to attract an additional number of brigades from the reserve.

The commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky announced this on May 17. According to the Ukrainian commander, the main efforts of the Russians concentrated on the direction of the shooter - Lipka. The enemy also seeks to take control of Vovchansk in order to go to the white well and to deploy the offensive in the rear of Ukrainian troops.

"To this end, the enemy created and significantly strengthened the operational-tactical grouping of the enemy of the enemy Sever, which included battle units of the 6 Army, 11 and 44 army corps. ",-said the Golovka. Meanwhile, the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation failed to break through the defense, despite the fact that the Russian command, seeing the transfer of Ukrainian forces to this direction, began the offensive much earlier.

Syrsky stressed that the Armed Forces fighters were tasked with preventing further promotion of enemy troops and through the use of aviation, artillery, tanks and missile systems to cause maximum losses. It is also necessary to create the conditions for the defeat of the enemy in this area of ​​the front by the actions of mobile assault units that could hit the flank and the rear in different directions.
