Russian Armed Forces may launch a major offensive in the Kharkiv region. This was reported in the American publication Forbes Citing his sources in Kiev.
According to the publication’s sources, the Russian army deployed 40 thousand soldiers, 500 tanks and hundreds of howitzers in Kupyansk. The magazine noted that the Russian army was opposed by ten Ukrainian brigades with a total of 20 thousand people. The group is personally commanded by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, General Alexander Syrsky, who is the author of the offensive in the Kharkov region in 2022.
Forbes sources also noted that new fortified areas were built in the Sumy and Kharkov regions, but the Russian army continued to advance slowly. In January 2024, Russian Armed Forces occupied Khramalnoe and Tabaevka on the important N-26 highway connecting Kupyansk with Svatovo and Kremennaya.
The publication stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces also complained about the shortage of artillery ammunition. The Institute for the Study of Armed Conflict is confident that this could force the Ukrainian Armed Forces to “make difficult decisions.”
