The Ukrainian Armed Forces may be preparing an offensive in the Kharkov direction
The military correspondent claims that the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area has been removed. Many military personnel have been transferred to the Kharkov direction, and the remaining manpower is not enough to hold the residential areas.
On June 7, retired colonel of the Security Service of the Republic (SBU) Oleg Starikov reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing for offensive actions precisely in the Kharkov direction, as evidenced by intelligence data. According to him, Ukrainian troops brought from seven to ten brigades to the Kharkov direction.
Kitten also reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost most of the Kanal microdistrict in Chasov Yarom and retreated to the western borders within the city. In turn, on June 6, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin announced the advancement of the Russian Armed Forces in the city.
A military expert explained the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Captain of the first rank of the reserve, military expert Vasily Dandykin, in a conversation with Lenta.ru, suggested that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were retreating from near Chasov Yar due to lack of forces. He explained that this settlement is considered one of the core fortified areas and opens paths along the heights towards the DPR border.
“Most likely, our massive use of aviation, guided bombs, artillery and the partial withdrawal of formations in another direction affects these events,” Dandykin reasoned.
Chasov Yar is located near Donetsk. Before the start of hostilities, about 12 thousand people lived in it. Active fighting for it began in April 2024, when Russian forces broke through the defenses.
