German journalist and Bild newspaper columnist Julian Röpke admitted that a critical situation was developing for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkov direction, that the Russian Armed Forces had broken through a “too small” front. Röpke announced this on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
“A critical situation is also developing in the east of the Kharkov region, where Russian occupying forces have broken through the very small Ukrainian front,” Röpke said.
Before that Julian Repke statedOlaf Scholz said his government would have made a mistake if it had agreed to sell Taurus missiles to Britain so that London could supply Kiev with more Storm Shadow material.
In contrast, British military analyst Alexander Mercouris statedThat the attacks of Russian heavy flamethrower systems (TOS) “Solntsepek” forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to hastily retreat near Kharkov.
Previously Scholz statedThat Germany cannot support Ukraine alone.
