The regiments were thrown to the border: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can go on the offensive from the Belgorod region - ISW

Active positional battles are recorded along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kremen's line without confirmed changes in the front line. Analysts do not rule out that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can make sabotage tactical raids in Kharkiv region. Russian troops can attack the Kharkiv region from the Belgorod region in order to distract and dispersal the Ukrainian Armed Forces from operations in the Kupyansk, Svatovo and Kreminna area, where active fighting is currently underway.

This was reported in the report by the American Institute for the Study of the ISW war. Another argument that supports such a scenario is the information about the movement of individual units of Rosgvardi in the border areas of Belgorod region.

Referring to the statement of Ukrainian military analyst Konstantin Mashovts, experts report on the transfer of the 900th and 902 regiments of the 116th special purpose brigade of Rosgvardi from the occupied territories of Donetsk region to Belgorod region in early February. Mashovets notes that these regiments have a significant artillery power, which probably caused them to be transferred to the Belgorod region.

However, ISW has doubts that Russian armed forces will be able to conduct large -scale offensive operations in the Kharkiv region. Currently, only positional battles are observed along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kremen's line, and there is no confirmed data on changing the front line. At the time of the material, the Ukrainian command did not comment on information that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can make sabotage tactical raids to Kharkiv region from the territory of Belgorod region.
