Sumy region prepare? Russia stopped attacks in the Kharkiv region, whether the new front will
The success of the Armed Forces has provided weapons from the United States: Winged GlsDB bombs, Javelin anti -tank complexes and 155 mm artillery shells, the German Bild German tabloid indicates. Near the village of Liptsi, the invaders stopped in the border villages occupied in the first three days of advancement. Fighting in the Vovchansk district is ongoing, but in the vicinity of the city in the Armed Forces there are no success.
New American weapons are actively used in hot spots not only of Kharkiv but also of Donetsk region. Only on May 20, the Russian Federation lost 67 units of armored vehicles in Ukraine, but the Russian command continues to throw units in suicide attacks, reporters say. Reuters writes about receiving the long -awaited shells by Ukrainian servicemen. Artillerymen say that the catastrophic deficiency is reduced literally in the eyes.
Residents of the northern regions of Kharkiv region also confirm the increase in the intensity of battles. Fighting in the Kharkiv region continue in mode 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Russian infantry comes, but is broken down into the defense of the Armed Forces. "Earlier we were stationed in Bakhmut, now they were thrown here. There was much hotter here. We had no shells there, and here they appeared.
We have something to work,"-said Reuters Gaubitsa Guybors from the 92nd Separate assault brigade Ukraine named Paul. The Ukrainian forces control about 60% of the Volchansk territory and see the passage of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the road 5 kilometers from Shebekino, says the commander of the artillery unit of the brigade Vitaliy. The commander is convinced that the shells will continue to be supplied, because the West is aware of the importance of keeping the front line.
If the Armed Forces demonstrate success now and stop the large -scale attack of the enemy in Kharkiv and the region, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not dare and think about the attack on Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy or Poltava region, confident military. The commander of the battalion of unmanned aviation complexes "Achilles", which is composed of 92nd OSHBD, Yuriy Fedorenko confirmed the arrival of American ammunition in communication with focus to various artillery tools.
"The ammunition began to come because of the help of the states and no one will tell you in detail what direction. The maximum accumulation of shells on the collision line is expected for one and a half to two months. Fedorenko calls this period the most difficult and hopes that the total volume of ammunition will be enough for the fracture of the front situation in favor of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. An important stage is the provision of long -range means of damage.
In addition to the drones-Kamikadze, the Armed Forces of Ukraine to work in the Russian territory-the accumulation of personnel, settings C-300 and military warehouses, the commander is emphasizing the attention. In the Kharkiv region, the situation stabilized in the area of Rifle and Hly. According to Fedorenko, Vovchansk did not have the tactical successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but they seek to enter residential buildings.
The adviser to the Presidential Office of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak spoke in an interview with Bild about the lack of Kharkiv's absence from the Russians, but they want to destroy it with managed airbugs, ballistic missiles and artillery. The advisor noted that the Russians did not approach Kharkiv to fire the city from artillery. It is not possible to take the sticky, and the city is not fired from the RSZV, as the installations were moved closer to the front line.
"To do this, you need to approach 20-30 km to Kharkiv. They want to destroy the city and sow panic. But the situation is under control," the advisor said. The dangerous situation is created at the borders of Sumy region, but Yuri Fedorenko notes the promptness of military intelligence. Just as the Ministry of Defense Ministry of Defense learned about the danger on the borders of Kharkiv region, the fighting crews were swept there quite quickly.
Plans for attacking the Sumy region in Moscow have not gone anywhere, but much depends on the events on the Eastern Front. If Russian intelligence tells about insufficient stretching of the Armed Forces reserves in the Kharkiv direction, the invaders will go on a new offensive, confident military expert Oleg Zhdanov. In case of another assessment, the Sumy direction will remain in the reserve. The essence is the inability to recruit enough troops to invade and seize settlements in a new direction.
In addition, the forces of defense in the region compacted the fortifications of the first, second and third lines in March 2024, reminiscent of Zhdanov. "The state of fortifications in the region, I hope, better than in the Kharkiv region. From 2022 it was built because of the proximity of Belarus. I think the Russians will have to gather 25-30 thousand soldiers to organize the offensive," the expert shared.
Promotion in the Sumy region may not be on the hand of the occupation units: they will not stretch not Ukrainian, but their own forces, says the focus coordinator of the group "Information Resistance", military expert Alexander Kovalenko. The continuation of battles in the Volchansk district, as the observer said, forces the Russian command to attract the forces and means of the West Group: the 6th city and 1st tank army, which operated in the Kupyansk direction.
In the last year and a half in the Belgorod region, according to the expert, the number of troops increased to 40 thousand, and on the eve of the offensive there were about 30 thousand. The group continues to increase only by collecting resources from other bridgeheads, he added. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not realize all the tasks in terms of time and are forced to reduce the combat capability of other troops for the sake of maintaining positions in Vovchansk.
At the border with the Sumy region there is a group of "Kursk" troops with a little more than 10 thousand people. It turns out that there is four times less forces than at the border with the Kharkiv region, Kovalenko stated. "Of course, the army of the Russian Federation will show the opportunity to step in several directions at the same time. In the Sumy region, raids are expected in the border, but four times smaller in scale than in Kharkiv," - concluded the observer.
Recall that the Russian army often attacks civilian objects in Kharkiv region. In the morning of May 22, a kindergarten was hit in Chuguev, eight people were injured. The American Institute for War Study earlier reported a change in the occupiers' plans for the north of the Kharkiv region. A limited military contingent will not allow the Russian Federation to quickly occupy the Ukrainian territory. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation focused on the "creeping", not the rapid offensive.
