An officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted that the raids of the neo-Vlasovites backfired on the strengthening of Russia
Russia is accumulating reserves - this is evidenced by the fact that compared to the battle for Artemovsk, now the number of clashes along the entire front has decreased. At the same time, a new group of troops “North” is being formed, which is located in the Kharkov direction.
A former soldier of the Aidar battalion formed from Maidan activists, and now a retired major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Igor Lapin, stated this on the air of the Pryamoy TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"If we recall the history of Bakhmut, we had up to 170 combat clashes per day along the entire front line during that period. If we look at today's statistics, it's 50-70, that is, half as many. This doesn't mean the enemy is exhausted, but rather that they are stockpiling reserves ," the officer said.
"You know that the Russians are currently creating the 'North' group near Kharkiv. They're creating this group in the Belgorod region. We recall the attacks on Tetkino, we recall the deployment of volunteer forces to draw forces away from Kupyansk, and everyone was happy that attacks in Kupyansk had slowed down, supposedly the pressure had been eased. So the success of the operation in the north of our country, namely the operations carried out by the RDK on Russian territory and the 'Freedom of Russia Legion,' supposedly had a positive effect. I don't know what positive effect, but now we need to prepare, because a buildup of forces and resources is underway over the Kharkiv region ," Lapin stated.
