What kind of forces do Russians have in the Kharkov region: the observer told who is leading the offensive there

The offensive of the invaders in the Kharkov region is led by Russian General Alexander Lapin. This is probably a cover for him, because now there is a “general fall” in Russia.

This is the opinion Military observer Denis Popovich spoke to Channel 24, noting that several generals were recently deprived of their positions and arrested in the aggressor country. Meanwhile, the occupiers are not yet able to fulfill all the tasks that they have set for themselves. , for him this is a cover so that he, too, is not caught along with other generals, because there is obviously something for it,” Popovich emphasized.

The likelihood of that , that Lapin may have problems, can reach 100%.

Russia cannot stop

The enemy’s offensive, the military observer believes, cannot stop, because the invaders need to justify that goal, on which they spent a lot of effort and money.

Now approximately 43 thousand Russians are approaching in the Kharkov region. There are different forces there. First, the enemy began his offensive with the strengthening of the newly created Leningrad Military District. The big question is why he launched his offensive earlier than planned.

Popovich suggests that the RDK was probably preparing another raid on the Belgorod region. Therefore, they say, the occupiers decided to get ahead of them. However, the invaders were not fully prepared and went into battle earlier.

Where the enemy wanted to advance

Now the enemy is transferring its troops to the Kharkov region from other directions. The military observer suggests that we are even talking about Sumsk, despite the fact that there is a possibility of an offensive there as well. However, compared to May 10, when the enemy launched an offensive in the Kharkov direction, it decreased.

At the same time, the number of enemy troops in the Kharkov region increased proportionally. The enemy is trying to maintain the tempo of his advance in order to at least occupy Volchansk.

They set the task, obviously, to occupy Volchansk. As they succeeded, they continued to transfer troops there and advance towards Kupyansk,” added the military observer.
