“Ukrainian forces continue to counterattack north of Kharkiv, recapturing several towns and villages toward Russia’s border. Russia’s priority in the Donbas has made units stationed in the Kharkiv region vulnerable to mobile and highly motivated Ukrainian counterattacks,” the statement said.
Let’s add
According to British intelligence, the forces withdrawn from the Kharkiv region after the reinforcement are likely to be deployed on the east bank of the Seversky Donets River. They will form blocking forces to protect the western flank of the concentration of Russia’s main forces and the main supply routes for operations in the Izyum area.
As noted, the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Kharkiv region is a tacit recognition of Russia’s inability to capture major Ukrainian cities, where limited resistance was expected.
