At present, Russian troops do not have a concentration of military units on the border with Kharkiv region, but the situation can change at any time.
Concentration of Russian troops on border with Kharkiv region has not been recorded
During the briefing, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, commented on an article by the British newspaper The Telegraph about a possible repeat of the Russian occupiers' offensive on Kharkiv.
He stressed that no concentration of enemy troops on the border was recorded.
The enemy is indeed carrying out unprecedented massive shelling of the border towns of Lyptsi and neighbouring villages. Over the past two days, Russian troops have fired dozens of S-300 missiles at these settlements. Residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure have been damaged.
Syniehubov noted that in order to talk about any offensive or plans of the Russian army, they must concentrate their military units in one direction or another.
However, there is currently no such concentration.
However, the situation can change every minute, and we are, of course, closely monitoring it. We understand that the enemy has not abandoned its intentions to regain the territories it lost in the autumn of 2022, as well as the city of Kharkiv. We must always be ready!
The Telegraph named date of new offensive of Russians in Kharkiv region
Citing a source, the newspaper claims that the massive Russian strikes on Kharkiv and surrounding settlements are seen as part of Russia's preparations for a large-scale offensive in the coming weeks.
Also, local military intelligence units allegedly believe that the occupiers may be planning to further intensify air strikes on the weekend of 7 January.
The Telegraph's source believes that a ground offensive could begin shortly afterwards, possibly on 15 January.
At the same time, the publication emphasises that the front line remains largely stationary and that Russian troops are only carrying out sporadic attacks.
