The Military Explained What Allows Effective Defense of the Kharkiv Region Territories.


The occupiers destroyed the reservoir on the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region, complicating their ability to cross the river. The Armed Forces of Ukraine use this circumstance for the defense of the region. This was told by expert Ivan Varchenko.
The occupiers destroyed the reservoir on the Oskil River, which was previously a natural barrier. The swampy terrain is difficult for equipment to overcome, so Ukrainian defense forces effectively use this for their defense, - reported Varchenko.
The Russian attack on the Kharkiv region caused major losses for the Russians, both in military personnel and equipment, - he said.
The occupiers are looking for ways to cross the river, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding the defense of the Kharkiv region, and the Russian Federation is experiencing great difficulties trying to overcome them, - he added.
