In addition, Ukrainian military intelligence has released a wiretapped phone conversation in which a Russian soldier whispers that his commander doesn’t care about losses because his only goal is to reach Kharkiv.
Also, ISW reports that Russian-appointed officials from the temporarily occupied territories of Kharkiv Oblast have begun cooperating with representatives of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic, which could indicate Russia’s aim to create conditions for a long-term occupation.
At the same time, ISW analysts consider it unlikely that Russia will succeed in capturing the city of Kharkiv and the entire region. Analysts believe that in the coming days, the Russian army will try to intensify its attacks north of Kharkiv, however, it is unlikely that this will lead to significant territorial gains.
Russia continues to use artillery along the entire length of the contact line.
The Ukrainian side reports that on Sunday, in the direction of Kharkiv, the enemy is trying to hold the occupied positions, as well as conducting reconnaissance with an unmanned aerial vehicle and carrying out engineering equipment of the positions.
