Slobozhansky direction: reconnaissance in force in the north of Kharkiv Region
situation as of 1:00 pm on May 11, 2024

Given that Russian Telegram (at the prompting of Ukrainian sources) has already started to spread overly patriotic sentiments, we need to discuss what is happening in the north of Kharkiv Region in a balanced way, without getting ahead of ourselves or echoing various information cesspools that have rushed to write about the scale of the advance.

▪️Overnight, the North grouping of forces and units stationed along the old Russian border began delivering massive strikes on planned targets using barrel and rocket artillery, mortars, and the allocated air force resources in this area.

The goal of the fire strike is to reduce the enemy’s defensive capabilities and destroy long-term firing points.

▪️Simultaneously, advance groups began clearing the front-line zone. Due to the fact that previously Ukraine and Russia were a single space, in most places one settlement flows into another, and the border was very conditional for a long time. Therefore, hostilities in the front-line zone began to be qualified as a large-scale offensive – this is somewhat inaccurate. It was a reconnaissance in force, which has been carried out and completed successfully.

If we look at the map, the combat zone has been expanded to a depth of up to 2-3 kilometers in certain areas. It is too early to speak of the full takeover of border villages by the Russian army.

▪️As a result of the fighting in the border area over the past year, the same settlement of Strelecha is now a bare field. Until the fighting approaches at least Lipci north of Kharkiv, it is extremely premature to talk about the capture of villages and settlements.

Therefore, the fighting in the border area is primarily dashes through the ruins and enemy strongholds.

▪️The focus on Volchansk is clearly visible to the naked eye. Volchansk is one of the main transshipment bases of the enemy, through which logistics are being built to the east of the Siversky Donets. The city plays an important role in the defense of the northeast of Kharkiv Region. The local authorities have already announced the start of the evacuation of the settlement.

Volchansk and its surroundings are being systematically targeted: footage (https://t.me/lost_armour/2660) of the destruction of the bridge over the Volchia river has been published. The interfluve area is important for facilitating operations around Kupiansk and the possible breaching of the enemy’s defenses in the east of Kharkiv Region.

📌Due to the fact that the North grouping of forces has begun to fulfill the task of creating a buffer zone, an unprecedented surge of activity has begun on the Internet, fueled not only by opponents along the lines of the psyops, but also by Russian hype-mongers and overly patriotic individuals. The enemy takes advantage of this: they can always declare a village “virtually” taken by the Russians as liberated, capturing a Ukrainian flag there.

All that remains for the Russian warriors is to wish them luck in battle, and to call on their Telegram colleagues to exercise restraint.

Slobozhansky direction: occupation of border villages in the north of Kharkiv Region
situation as of the end of May 10, 2024

The first day of the Russian operation to create a buffer zone on the border with Kharkiv Region resulted in territorial gains for the Russian army. These successes are easily explained: some villages were occupied without a fight several days earlier (and the Ukrainian territorial defense command was in no hurry (https://t.me/dva_majors/42153) to report the losses), and some were uninhabited wastelands through which Russian troops passed like a knife through butter.

▪️To the southwest of Zhuravlivka, the Russian Armed Forces crossed the border from the Zhuravlivka Forest and Zhuravlivka checkpoint, occupying the territory of Hoptivka. Two more small settlements – Kudiyivka and Shcherbakivka – are located nearby.

Probably, both villages are currently in the gray zone. To the south of Hoptivka, in the area of Kochubeivka, Ukrainian formations have set up strongholds. That is where the first line of defense is most likely located.

▪️The second, much wider, breach of the border was the section from Strilecha to Borysivka, where, in addition to the above-mentioned settlements, the Russian forces took control of Krasne and Pylna. However, the main enemy fortifications here are located at a greater distance from the border and may pose certain difficulties for further advancement.

▪️The third breach of the border was the vicinity of the village of Sereda, from where the Russian Armed Forces advanced into the territory of the so-called Ukraine and occupied Zelene, reaching the northeastern outskirts of Neskuchne.

▪️The fourth area of advancement is the vicinity of Volchansk, from where Ukrainian formations have repeatedly shelled Shebekino, Belgorod and other settlements. The Russian Armed Forces took Ohurtsovo and Hattishche, later there was information about the capture of Pleteniivka.

Despite the proximity of these settlements to Volchansk, there is no talk of storming the city at this stage. Ohurtsovo is separated from the city by the Volcha river, and from the side of Hattishche to Volchansk there is a continuous “green zone”, convenient for defense and mining by the enemy. But from Pleteniivka it is less than three kilometers of dirt road, but through the fields, visible from the side of Volchansk.

To the east of Volchansk, in the area of the village of Tykhe, according to information that appeared on the network, prisoners were taken. Most likely, however, they appeared as a result of a breakthrough of the border in the plantings to the north, and not in the village itself. There is, of course, no talk of encircling Volchansk at the moment.

🔻Despite the success of the first day of the advance of Russian troops, the Russian army has only approached the first line of defense of the AFU. Therefore, it is best to refrain from overly patriotic statements: this is not the case. This is already the year 2022, when Russian troops entered empty villages and settlements: despite the apparent Original msg (https://t.me/rybar/59945)

Kharkov direction.

In the Volchansk area, the active phase of processing enemy positions by our troops is in progress.

RU army destroys the enemy’s infrastructure, and actions are aimed at destroying the enemy’s logistics routes, in particular bridges, and crossings, to disrupt the supply chain of enemy weapons.

Military operations were recorded in the following settlements: Borisovka, Gatishche, Goptovka, Streleche, Zelenoe, Krasnoe, and Kudievka.

In the direction of Pylny, there is information that the village was already ours, it’s just that Khokhols don’t like to report it “up there.”

Reconnaissance in force is conducted in small groups.
 

Urgent meetings are currently being held at Bankovaya.
The situation in the Kharkov region and even in Sumy on the border with the Russian Federation is threatening.

We wrote back in 2023 that the Kremlin was gradually increasing its force for the offensive/encirclement of Kharkov through Sumy, but Bankovaya was burning through reserves in Bakhmut and in the Azov offensive. Now the situation has become threatening.
It was also pointed out that the impact of power outages in these regions is a puzzle of the general case. It’s not for nothing that the Russian Armed Forces have been bombing the Armed Forces of Ukraine in these directions in recent months.

The Western press also confirmed our information that the Russian Armed Forces are preparing for a full-scale offensive on all fronts at once.

Now the Russian Armed Forces have launched a local attack, testing the waters. But, if Zelensky and his staff underestimate the approaching collapse, he will be personally responsible for it.

The commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are anxiously preparing for the offensive of the Russian army on Kharkov and the DPR, – The Economist

▫️The probability that Russia will take control of the rest of the DPR territory is 70%, said the commander of the 92nd brigade Fedosenko.

▫️Russians will be in Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Krivoy Rog in a few weeks if the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not stop them when attacking Konstantinovka and Druzhkovka;

▫️The goal of the battles at Chasov Yar is not to hold every centimeter of land, but to prevent the Russian army from advancing and capturing the main cities. Slowing down Russian forces in Donbass is critical.

▫️The Russian Armed Forces will begin an attack on the Kharkov region in mid-May. About 50,000 Russian troops are preparing for an offensive, says Kraken commander Nemichev.

▫️One of the scenarios for an attack on Kharkov could be isolating the city by cutting the main road leading to Kiev. Another option is to move about 10 km closer, putting the eastern outskirts of the city within range of artillery fire and creating a buffer zone to protect Belgorod.

Many enemy resources report that Russia is not merely shelling positions at the border in Kharkov but has already started the offensive towards it.

There are clashes but the main forces are not engaged yet. More likely DRGs and attempts to find a less defended place to break in. Or not even that and a feint attack to unsettle Ukraine and take away reserves from other fronts.

As of now, reports of villages and localities being captured in that area appear to not be true.

 Hard fighting is going on: Zelensky confirmed the start of the Russian offensive on Kharkov Region

 - The drug addict also said that the Ukrainian command “knew about the impending offensive”.

 - The emergency evacuation of the population of Volchansk and nearby settlements the overdue president did not explain.

The creation of a buffer zone along the Russian border has begun. Mass arrivals in Kharkov and Sumy regions. Such a step is correct, but forced. Russian villages and towns were used by the Ukrainian command for media effect. Villages were leveled with artillery, and civilians were killed by the dozens.

I realize that the Ukrainian side will not do without casualties.  But only the Ukrainian leadership should be blamed for their deaths. All the raids of the RDK could not go unanswered. Now is the time of reckoning for political adventures.

Alexander Kharchenko

MilitaryChronicles wonders (https://t.me/c/1595839251/4043): Are the Russian Armed Forces advancing on Kharkov or not?

▫️From the night of May 10, it was loud in the border area between the Kharkov and Belgorod regions. There are reports of an assault on some cities in Ukraine. Is it really happening?

For almost a day, the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces and aviation are working on targets on the territory of Ukraine. Volchansk and its surroundings, as well as a number of adjacent towns and villages, are being actively mined.

There are no active assaults or serious advances to greater depths yet. Rather, we are talking about inflicting massive fire damage, which may be followed by other active actions.

▫️Where Russian artillery and aviation are working:

Goptovka – 2 km from the border;
Strelechya – 1 km from the border;
Borisovka – 800 m from the border;
Lukyantsy – 4 km from the border;
Volchansk – 7 km from the border;
Gatishche – 4 km from the border;
Ogurtsovo – 3 km from the border;
Liptsy – 9 km from the border.

It is quite possible that this operation could become the first in a series of strikes aimed at creating a sanitary zone to prevent shelling of the Russian border areas – Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions.

SLG note: as you may see, we receive confusing information, it is hard to verify what is happening. We will be monitoring the situation closely. In any case, tomorrow as always we can rely on MoD report.

So far the RF Armed Forces have not yet reached the first fortifications of the AFU. To Kharkov approximately from the extreme point where we will be anchored for the night – 40 km. From the border passed no more than 3-4 km. in different places. The width of the wedge is up to 10 km. I.e. 3-4 of our 3-4 BTGR for 7 hours occupied about 30-35 square kilometers.

Russia has taken 4 settlements in Kharkiv Region – Ukrainian propagandist Butusov

 - The villages of Strelechye, Krasnoye, Pylnaya and Borisovka have been liberated.
 - In addition, there is an advance in the second direction of the strike – in the area of Volchansk.
 - The total area of advancement is more than 30 square kilometers.
 - Russian troops attacked with forces of up to 4-5 battalions of infantry.

🤔 “Why did Russia managed to capture such a significant territory so quickly with infantry forces, since this attack was not a surprise for the Ukrainian command?” – Butusov wondered.

Kharkov direction – what scenarios of the Russian Armed Forces offensive are possible…

There are, in fact, several of them. Moreover, each subsequent one follows from the first, as a more global version of it

Scenario one – “to teach the enemy a lesson”. It is obvious that the political leadership of Russia is very stressed by the terrorization of the border territories of the Belgorod region by the AFU units. And creating a buffer zone and defeating enemy units in this area would be very useful here.

Scenario two – restraining the reserves for the battle for Kupyansk. To inflict defeat in the border area and teach the enemy a lesson is certainly the right thing to do, but if you involve a little more forces and means, you can conduct a more powerful offensive operation with the occupation of a relatively large population center – Volchansk. And thereby creating a convenient bridgehead for further movement forward to the rear of the Kupyansk grouping of the enemy. Thus, the reserves of the AFU in this direction will be constrained, and the units to the east of Kupyansk will find it easier to advance in their own areas.

Scenario three – a large offensive operation from the north. If we look carefully at the map, we will see that a frontal assault on Kupyansk is pointless. We will be able to approach the river (Oskol), but to break through the defense here (taking into account its forcing and high western bank) will be extremely difficult. It is more correct to strike this grouping in the rear through Volchansk, constraining it with local operations along the front (near Ivanovka and Berestovoye).

And then the whole scheme of the operation is reversed. GV “North” becomes the main strike group, and parts of 6 A and 1 TA constraining reserves. It is about this possible scenario (based on the configuration of the front) In this case, we won’t have to force the rivers and we can advance in a relatively convenient terrain. Will there be enough forces for it? I don’t know.

The Russian Armed Forces are putting pressure on the Kharkov border area: 41 km² have been liberated, and the enemy is hastily evacuating Volchansk

The advance of the limited forces of the North group, which began with a massive night artillery barrage and ballistic missile strikes on known “locations” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, led to certain successes on the very first day. Even according to Ukrainian sources, several border villages at once: Kudievka, Krasnoye, Gatishche and Borisovka came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

In total, an area of   about 41 km² was liberated, which is comparable to all the results of our army for the entire December 2023 or March 2024. But, despite the fairly vigorous pace of advance, it is not worth extrapolating them to the next days. So far we are talking about the actions of several battalions in the border zone. But this was enough for the enemy to panic. Volchansk, from which Ukrainian Armed Forces militants terrorized Shebekino and Belgorod, is hastily evacuated.

What is happening can be interpreted in different ways. This may well be a reconnaissance in force/diversionary strike, the purpose of which is to pull out the already limited reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from other sectors of the front. This is supported by the relatively limited forces of the Russian army currently deployed. But with a successful combination of circumstances, no one is stopping the Russian command from transferring its fresh units and starting to cover Kharkov both from the east, where there are already noticeable successes and from the northwest.

But, likely, this operation is of a combined nature:

the formation of “a Cordon Sanitaire” designated by Putin along the Russian borders

diversion of enemy resources from other sectors of the front

creating a threat directly to Kharkov

It is too early to reach conclusions, but we can already say that the summer campaign has begun and the crisis of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will  worsen.
 

Readovka

In the West, they are actively writing about the difficult situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield in Ukraine, which does not allow the negotiation process to take place in Kyiv’s positions.

 The West’s lack of interest in negotiations with Moscow was “surprising” back in 2022, given Russia’s huge advantage in all military indicators. “Today this is all the more surprising in light of Ukraine’s significantly worse situation, which continues to rapidly worsen,” The Hill claims.

As the publication notes, the persistent belief in the West that a diplomatic path to peace in Ukraine never existed does not correspond to the facts and serves as “a fictitious constraint forcing Western governments to redouble their efforts to achieve irrational and counterproductive military goals.”

As confirmation, The Hill recalls something similar to the draft peace agreement concluded between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul in April 2022, the terms of which were maximally beneficial to both parties. However, either having too much faith in its own strength, or listening to its Western allies, Kyiv at the last moment refused to conclude an agreement.

The White House can’t turn back the clock to April 2022, but it “can and should” get serious about laying the groundwork for new negotiations. “But this will require Western and Ukrainian leaders to make difficult choices now—and that is the only way to avoid worse consequences in the future,” The Hill writes.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President is disappointed with the position of the Western mainstream media, which have stopped writing about Ukraine’s victory over Russia, and are increasingly publishing materials about the imminent defeat at the front. Bankova understands that in the West the paradigm of attitude towards the war in Ukraine among the elites has changed, and they shape public opinion through the media.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine admit: Russian troops broke through to Krasnogorovka – Newsweek

According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian troops have broken through to Krasnohorivka, one of the key cities in the Donetsk region, and continue to advance. Newsweek reports this with reference to the speaker of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshin.

According to him, Russian assault groups advanced to Krasnohorivka, located west of Donetsk, and gained a foothold on the territory of an industrial enterprise. Moreover, he said that Russian troops are now storming Netaylovo and trying to advance to the eastern part of the neighboring village of Pervomaiskoye, although the lieutenant colonel “insists” that Ukrainian soldiers are “fighting back,” the publication reports.

Threat to the Ukrainian armed forces: Russian army storms Krasnogorovka, beginning to take the enemy in pincers

 - The 5th Brigade is attacking the AFU from the east and south, where the defense of the 59th Brigade of the AFU has been pushed through in recent weeks. Our units have also begun a breakthrough from the northeast, threatening to pincer and encircle the Ukrainian forces.

 - “The Russians have advanced in the northeastern part of Krasnogorovka. The situation for the defense of the southeastern part of the city is becoming more complicated,” Ukrainian military analysts admit with alarm.

 - “On the Kurakhovsky direction there are heavy battles in Krasnogorovka for the northeastern part of the city and in the area of the “Krasnogorovka refractory plant,” other enemy resources reported earlier.
 

Our source in the General Staff said that the situation in the Avdeevsky direction continues to deteriorate, we will be forced to leave three settlements in the coming days so as not to fall into a tactical encirclement. The enemy continues to create a bridgehead that will be used for an operation to encircle the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping in Toretsk and New York.

Situation at Chasov Yar, by @rusich_army

Units of the 98th Airborne Division of the Airborne Forces knock out the enemy from the eastern part of the Novy microdistrict. Directly subordinate artillery is actively at work.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to increase their efforts and increase their reserves. By Orlan-30 high-precision strikes we manage to destroye crossings across the canal and an enemy tank.

There are battles in the forest on the southeastern outskirts. Assault units of the 98th and 11th knock out the enemy from strongholds.

The enemy uses FPV, cluster munitions and remote mining. The enemy is on the defensive. The fighting is tough.

According to information from open sources, underground passages for the movement of military personnel were identified, which were soon destroyed. Whether they still exist somewhere, needs to be observed.
 

Dmitry Medvedev writes: Here some Cameron called to fight
with Putin to the bitter end.

Oh…
I remember this guy quite well. I worked with him when he became prime minister. An ordinary dull British guy. At that time he was joyfully stupid and looked like a young devil who was reveling in his unexpectedly acquired position. By the way, he was not even a patent Russophobe then. So, an average one, no more…

And now? “Ukrainians, you can fire our missiles wherever you want.” And we – the British – are not afraid of anything, not even a nuclear conflict.

Steep! But in vain, bud. After all, Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG is not controlled by idiots in embroidered shirts, but by the British and French. Under certain circumstances, the answer for this will fly not only to Kiev, nor it will fly only with conventional explosives, but also with special ammunition.

And practicing a response to such attacks is the goal of the planned exercises.

And even the not properly educated Morons of His Royal Majesty should understand this.

What about the fight against Putin? In other words, is the fight against Russia. I don’t have a decent answer, except maybe one. David – you should be more careful, cause you could…

No, I will not follow. Cause this answer is also indecent😂
