Significant strengthening of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv direction: Ukrainians will try to break through the front
After the unsuccessful start of the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kherson, it became possible for the Ukrainian troops to launch auxiliary strikes in other directions to stretch the forces of the RF Armed Forces and their allies. Particularly noteworthy are the movements of the Ukrainian command in the Kharkiv region, where there is a significant increase in the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
For example, the build-up of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is taking place in the areas of the settlements of Chepel and Velikaya Kamyshevakha (15 km from Izyum), as well as Prishib and Gusarovka (13 km from Balakliya). At least 5 BTGs up to 600 military in each are already concentrated here. These BTGs include military personnel from four formations: the 4th Operational Brigade of the NSU (4-Bron, military unit 3018), the 93rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (93-OMbr, military unit A1302), the 10th separate mining - assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (10-OGSHbr, military unit A4267) and the 92nd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (92-OMbr, military unit A0501).
This grouping is reinforced by artillery: Polish AHS Krab self-propelled guns, American M109s, as well as NLAW ATGM crews. The armored group consists of several dozen Soviet T-72AV tanks, Polish licensed T-72M1 tanks and modified PT-91 Twardy. Probably, it is in this area that the Ukrainian troops will try to "feel" the Russian defense, trying to break through the front. By these actions, they will try to improve their position and focus the attention of Russian reserves on themselves.
In addition, personnel units are now actively fueled by detachments of therodefense volunteers and mobilized citizens, from which another 10 BTGs with extremely dubious combat capability are being formed. The total number of the group will be up to 9 thousand "bayonets", which is comparable to the forces that Kyiv threw into the attack in southern Ukraine.
Over the past day, the group has been repeatedly fired upon by Russian artillery, aircraft and missile forces. According to local sources, the national battalion "Kraken" is dispersed in the rear of the mentioned group, which does not allow the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the NSU to leave their positions, acting as a detachment. Thus, poorly trained territorial defense fighters and mobilized military personnel can be sent to storm the fortified positions of the RF Armed Forces and their allies.
