This is stated in the Deep State public report for May 26.
Ukrainian war correspondent Bogdan Miroshnikov writes about the situation at the front as follows: the enemy had successes in several sectors. He names the following segments of the front:
- captured Umanskoe;
- 100 m on the western outskirts of Netailovo, the village is almost completely under the control of the occupier;
- 200 m in the direction of Yasnobrodovka;
- 100 m each near Novoaleksandrovka and Kalinovoe;
- 100 m in the direction of Sokol;
- 100 m in Krasnogorovka;
- 100 m in Paraskoveevka;
- additional 100 m in the Berestovoye area;
- 300 m in the Kleshchievka area.
The enemy does not completely control the tick. There is no longer any place to gain a foothold. The village already exists only on the map. It has been destroyed to the ground.
The enemy slightly moved reserves from the Liman direction to the Seversk area. Strengthens his group.
In the Kupyansky direction there are heavy battles in the areas of Ivanovka, Berestovoy, Novoselovsky and Stelmakhovka.
Liptsev’s direction is somewhat stabilized. No, the enemy has not abandoned his plans and is constantly attacking. These assaults simply do not bring the desired results. In one of the areas we managed to push back the enemy a little. On the other side the occupier advanced slightly.
It was Liptsy that was the main direction of advance into the border Kharkov region, until the enemy got stuck in Volchansk.
Now the enemy is wondering what to do with all this, because the first stage has actually failed. Before you laugh at this statement, look at the map. But understand that the occupier has not yet been able to fulfill its goals (to get within the distance of stable operation of barrel and rocket artillery to Kharkov, to recover our significant reserves from Donbass, and so on), writes Miroshnikov.
He believes that now the second stage or the Avdiev-Bakhmut tactics awaits us. That is, massive use of infantry and slow advancement. If it is, given the amount of forces and means that the enemy can afford. And which needs to be attracted.
This is all, taking into account that the Russians will not weaken other areas.
The fact that the Russians are concentrating troops in three locations near the border with Ukraine and preparing a new offensive (possibly again limited), is written in a review by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
According to experts, one of the areas where occupation troops are gathering is Grayvoron-Borisovka-Proletarsky in the west of the Belgorod region.
Satellite images show Russian troops have expanded operations at bases and depots in populated areas in the area in recent weeks, but the size of a possible concentration of enemy units remains unknown.
ISW notes that this section will give Russian forces the opportunity to launch offensive operations south towards Zolochev and Bogodukhov, two Ukrainian cities northwest of Kharkov within 25 km of the international border, or west towards populated areas along the R-Route. 45. , which connects Bogodukhov with Sumy
Analysts believe the Russians could launch offensive operations in one or both directions simultaneously, which would force the Defense Forces to move troops to a larger section of the border in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions.
Russian forces are also massing limited forces in the Kursk and Bryansk regions near the border with the Sumy region.
Even limited Russian offensive operations in these areas would create pressure that would stretch Ukrainian troops and equipment along the front and perhaps allow Russian forces to establish tactical footholds to support further operations either northwest of the city of Kharkov or toward the city of Sumy. report.
However, the Northern Group of Forces, even having reached the upper limit of the declared final strength, will not have the necessary resources necessary to carry out a successful operation to encircle or capture Kharkov or Sumy, the Institute is convinced.
