The fall of Kharkiv could be the end of Ukraine. While Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was playing guitar in Kyiv, a Russian group of troops "North" launched an attack in the Kharkiv region. This group was formed in April 2022 and consists of at least 50,000 soldiers. Interestingly, the tactical insignia for the "Group North" is similar to that of the Gungnir rune from Norse mythology. Currently, the Russians have 15 battalions attacking, which is less than 30% of their total force on the Kharkiv front. Within a few days, they advanced 5 miles into Ukrainian territory. In the village of Strelecha near the border, a company of Ukrainians tried to hold off two Russian battalions but failed. The village was occupied by the Russians within a day. The Ukrainian armed forces quickly transferred the 57th Mechanized Brigade and 92nd Assault Brigade from the Lyman area to the Kharkiv area in order to slow down Russian advances. The chief of AFU military intelligence, General Kyrylo Budanov, said that Ukraine's forces are stretched thin and have minimal reserves to draw upon. The Russian offensive poses a threat to Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, whose loss would be a devastating blow for the country. The Russians have two operational objectives: the first is to reach the outskirts of Kharkiv from the north, and the second is an offensive in the eastern part of the region, occupying Vovchansk before moving on to Kupiansk. If they achieve these objectives, their "North" and "West" groups will unite and they will have sufficient forces to encircle and assault Kharkiv. This offensive and storming could last for at least six months, and Ukraine, despite the support from the US and EU, lacks the strength and resources necessary to stop them. #Ukraine #Russia #war Share and subscribe to Global American Review
