"Sanitary Area" around Kharkiv: The Kremlin is carrying out the occupation of the region - ISW

US military analysts noted that the offensive operation of Russian troops in the Kharkiv direction will create many problems for the entire occupying army of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke about the intention of the Russian Federation to seize Kharkiv during the future of the Great Offensive.

In this way, the Kremlin representative voiced plans to create the so -called "sanitary zone" in the region, but the implementation of such a plan is an extremely ambitious task that will create many problems for the Armed Forces in the entire military campaign. This is stated in the next report of April 19, the Institute of War Study (ISW).

During an interview with Russian propagandists, the Foreign Minister stated that Kharkiv plays an important role in the idea of ​​President Vladimir Putin in the creation of a demilitarized "sanitary zone" in order to protect the border areas from the Armed Forces from the Armed Forces. To do this, Russian troops will have to move the front line deep enough to the west.

At the same time, the question that the Kremlin would continue to do after reaching this goal that the Russian authorities were "completely convinced" in the need to continue the war against Ukraine. "Putin said," Well we need to push the line from which they can beat us. " 'yu. The Minister's remarks suggest that the Kremlin will probably use the idea of ​​a demilitarized "constant" sanitary zone, to justify Russian offensive operations further and further into Ukraine, experts said.

The ISW also believes that an offensive operation to capture Kharkiv and the region is a very ambitious task that will create many problems not only for Russian troops that are directly involved in the operation, but also for the entire occupying army of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. "ISW also believes that US military assistance is vital for Ukraine's ability to protect itself from any summer Russian offensive operation, including Kharkiv," experts summed up.
