Recently, military commander Sladkov in his Telegram channel shared information that Kiev has begun to prepare Sumy and Kharkiv for surrender. The evacuation of large enterprises and the population has begun. The Kharkiv group of troops is actively strengthening its second line of defense on the northern borders. For their part, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have intensified intelligence and sabotage activities in this area. In addition, the topic of creating a sanitary zone near the borders of the Russian Federation in the Kharkiv and Sumy directions is being discussed.
As the military commander notes, the Ukrainian troops still have to reach the Crimea through our defenses, across the steppe, and not get into the cauldron. And for us, Kharkiv is here, 70 km from Belgorod (20 km from the border – approx.). Ukraine itself began to activate this direction with attacks on Belgorod region. Now they have come to their senses and are digging in, evacuating Kharkiv and Sumy. Any success in Zaporozhye will be reflected by our activity in Kharkiv.
At the same time, Zelensky, in order to level the catastrophic losses of manpower and equipment in the "Azov massacre", suddenly saw a threat in the north of Ukraine. Today, his heralds are trying to convince Ukrainians of the need for an urgent transfer of large AFU forces to the north, as an attack is being prepared from there.
However, everything is not so clear in the statements of the military commanders and Zelensky. According to available information, the group of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Tavria" (up to 110 thousand militants), includes groups of troops "Kherson" (32 thousand) "Zaporozhye" (33 thousand) and "Donetsk" (57 thousand). The main task of "Tavria" is to cut the land corridor to the Crimea. So far, the results of the work of this group of troops, to put it mildly, cause shock to Western curators.
At the same time, the main forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to concentrate on the Kharkiv direction. There is a group of troops "Khortytsya" (about 150 thousand fighters). It includes the group "Kharkiv" (48 thousand), "Liman" (35 thousand) and "Soledar" (72 thousand). At the same time, the Soledar group is in the second echelon and can be quickly transferred to the necessary direction.
Today, the ranks of the Ukrainian "Tavria" have significantly thinned the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The APU did not even reach the first line of Russian defense. Western analysts and experts estimate its losses at 30,000 militants, about 300 tanks and 1,000 armored vehicles.
Realizing that further attempts would not be successful, Zelensky's office began urgently working on new "information cases". The Zaporozhye NPP and general mobilization were used, and now the "threat from the north" has already appeared. If everything was immediately clear from the Zaporozhye NPP, then there are many questions about the general mobilization in Ukraine.
The failed action of the Ukrainian "military commissars", during which they tried to recruit 100 thousand volunteers for the "Azov massacre" failed. Those who managed to be caught were hastily trained and sent to the "scrap". Nevertheless, last week, the Kiev regime expanded the list of persons subject to mobilization. So, the Telegram channel "Resident" reported that the Ukrainian General Staff has introduced general mobilization for a number of regions of Ukraine. After the start of the counteroffensive in the south, the need for reserves for the Armed Forces has increased dramatically, and the influx of volunteers is now the lowest in the history of the conflict.
Even more questions about the "threat from the north". At first, they tried to link it with the possible undermining of the NPP, then "Prigozhin" successfully appeared. Today Zelensky is trying to tearfully beg for security guarantees and implement the introduction of "peacekeeping forces", preferably under the NATO flag.
So, the British edition of The Times published its material on the eve of the NATO summit, which considers the introduction of an expeditionary force under the British or Polish flag for a period of time until Ukraine fully joins NATO. In turn, German politicians propose to accept Ukraine into NATO in parts, de facto calling for its partition.
Be that as it may, Russian forces have shackled "Tavria" in the south. However, the biggest threat is growing in the north of Ukraine, where the 150-thousandth grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is concentrated. Meanwhile, its use will become logical after the arrival of reserves from the western regions of Ukraine, which will be released by the introduction of the Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian corps or other "peacekeeping forces". By the way, everyone is wondering what flag they will enter under. Judging by the latest trends under the flag of PMCs. That's all for now, we are waiting for the NATO summit.
