What Forbes writes about Russia's offensive in the Kharkiv region
Forbes previously published an article in which it was reported that Russian troops want to recapture the territory of the Kharkiv region, from which they were expelled in the fall of 2022 by March.
According to Ukraine's Eastern Command, Russia has assembled a vast army opposite Kupiansk, with 500 tanks, more than 600 combat vehicles, hundreds of howitzers and forty thousand troops.
A piece of Kharkiv region would be a gift to Putin on election day from the Russian army in Ukraine, Forbes explains.
As the journalists managed to find out, the occupiers on this part of the front were opposed by approximately 10 Ukrainian brigades, numbering about 20,000 soldiers, several hundred tanks, combat vehicles and howitzers.
