Military Disclosed Enemy's Plans on Kharkiv Direction.
The occupiers on the Kharkiv direction, including the Svatove area, have a clear task - to break through the defense, reach the Oskil River, advance to Borova, and from there continue their offensive into Ukraine.
This was reported by a combat officer, who is the acting chief of staff of the 2nd assault battalion of the 3rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Maksym ("Makson") Zaichenko, in the program "Kramatorsk Station" on Ukrinform.
According to him, so far the occupiers have not been able to implement this plan, mainly due to the persistent defense of the Ukrainian defenders.
"So far everything is under control, but we have many questions about receiving weapons and replenishing personnel. The units holding the defense need restoration and replenishment," noted Zaichenko.
In the officer's opinion, the Russians are particularly enraged due to the loss of their reputation: the Ukrainian Armed Forces have taken control of Kursk region, the Russian Black Sea Fleet was driven away, and they lost their dominant position in the Black Sea.
"These are significant losses for them. On their part, they try to use their strengths. The Russians really have a lot of infantry, significant artillery potential, and a large number of drones," noted Zaichenko.
According to him, knowing their advantages, the Russian troops press on the ground components and achieve certain results. "There are problematic areas on the front, but in general, the control remains on our side," emphasized the officer.
