About battles near Kharkiv
Putin commented on the fighting near Kharkiv, and yesterday Russian aviation used a FAB-3000 M54 with a guidance module for the first time on a hospital building in the village of Lyptsi, Kharkiv region.
The battle for Kharkiv is ongoing, and we need to maintain the high intensity of the fighting that the enemy is trying to impose.
Lyptsi is the gateway to Kharkiv, and from this point, the enemy could take the outskirts of Kharkiv under fire from cannon artillery. Lyptsi is defended by the 13th National Guard Brigade "Charter", the first FAB-3000 hit their defence area, a video published on Russian channels. The Russians are using a new tactic to advance in this area - constant attacks by small groups of infantry with massive support from drones, aircraft and artillery. In other words, the armoured columns are not making a breakthrough, but the enemy is actively hitting with bombs and shells, and Lancet drones are trying to knock out our artillery and air defence.
Our troops are active in the area, the enemy is being driven out with all means, and the Russian losses are significant, our troops have ammunition and drones, and most importantly, they have motivated infantrymen who have an advantage in close combat with the Russians. However, the enemy is constantly sending in reinforcements, and the battle continues.
In one month, the Russians dropped more than 400 guided bombs on the Charter's defence area, and one of the strongholds was hit by 12 500kg bombs, but the position was held.
According to such massive use, this direction is one of the enemy's priorities.
Yesterday, Putin also said that the Russians would not allow their troops to be driven out of the bridgehead they had seized near Kharkiv, in other words, the Russian leadership has recognized its interest in resolving in its favour the battles in this area and will continue to replenish its forces with fresh reserves.
Now the question arises as to what the Ukrainian command will respond.
What are the obvious solutions for the military? We either need to reinforce our troops with additional forces to withstand such an intense battle, or narrow the defence areas of the 92nd and 13th Brigades so that they can concentrate all their forces in the areas of the enemy's main efforts, and not stretch out, but concentrate.
There is ammunition in this area, there is something and someone to destroy the enemy, but a battle without losses is impossible, and it is extremely difficult to fight it on a wide front with the same forces. If we do not drive the Russians out of the outskirts of Lyptsi, if our troops cannot hold this intensity, the Russians, according to Putin's attention, will send reserves, because Lyptsi is of great operational and tactical importance.
We hope that in response to Putin's threats regarding the situation in the Kharkiv region, the Ukrainian command will make adequate and timely decisions.
