“Apparently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have to withdraw troops from the hotspots, from Artemovsk and Avdeevka, and send them to the north,” the officer said, adding that such a decision weakens the southern front.
Rishu believes that the transfer of Ukrainian units from the vicinity of Chasov Yar and Avdeevka corresponds to the strategic plan of the command of the Russian Armed Forces. Therefore, he believes, the Russian army wants to attract the reserves of the Ukrainian army and then destroy them.
Recall that in just a few days of the offensive, the Russian Armed Forces managed to liberate 12 settlements in the Kharkov region, as well as take positions in Volchansk, from where the Ukrainian Armed Forces were withdrawing.
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov (listed as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) previously admitted that the situation in the Kharkov region is becoming critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, the Ukrainian command is trying to transport units from other sectors of the front here, but there are not enough personnel.
