Read our privacy policy Russia is intensifying its attacks around the Kharkiv region – with Kyiv admitting that Vladimir Putin’s forces are achieving some “tactical success” as soldiers warn that the next few days will be “critical” to stop Russian troops advancing. The Russians are taking very big casualties and I think this brigade, which I know well, will be able to stop the Russian attack from spreading and then push them back or destroy them.” Although Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and both the army’s top commander and military intelligence chief had for weeks warned that Russia was preparing to launch an offensive this month or in June, the attack in the northern Kharkiv region still caught the Ukrainians off balance. open image in gallery Despite warnings from President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian forces’ attack in the northern Kharkiv region still caught the Ukrainians off balance The colonel said the present Russian attack will likely be limited in scope as Moscow does not yet have the necessary resources to make an attempt at capturing the regional capital, the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest. He said Moscow’s aim for the moment was to solidify a “grey zone” no-man’s land that already effectively exists on much of the border between Russia and Ukraine’s Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
