/ world today news/ “Kharkov to join the Belgorod region. This is the best way to solve the shelling problem in the Belgorod region,” said the head of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov. In the city of Graivoronsk alone, according to the governor, almost 400 houses, dozens of social, administrative, commercial and industrial buildings were damaged in one week. As of April 11, 2022, a high (yellow) terrorist threat level is in effect across the region.
A number of Russian Telegram channels, as well as some Ukrainian experts, questioned the ability of our army to solve such a problem.
Here’s what they explain: Artyomovsk with an area of 42 square kilometers took more than nine months, and then let’s talk about a metropolis of two million. In addition to numerous skyscrapers, it has large factories that are not much lower than the Azovstal plant, which became world famous.
However, Kharkov must be captured. One cannot argue with Gladkov here. And not only to create a buffer zone to stop the shelling of the Belgorod region, but also to liberate the Russian people living in the Kharkiv region.
As the blogger @z_kharkovnash writes, “Military and volunteers (Ukrainian) who visited places like Izyum, most often do not call them liberated. This first”.
“And secondly – they say (more often through their teeth, but sometimes just out of habit) that nothing can be done with the inhabitants there: they look at the “liberators” like wolves and wait for the Russians. When these soldiers or volunteers see videos to Kharkiv trade union propagandists on the topic “The patriots who waited six months to joyfully welcome the liberators”, they do not even comment in any way, but only shrug their shoulders. Of course there are such people there, but….” he continues.
Kiev, of course, realizes this and arbitrarily shelled the Belgorod region, not only to lure our troops into a battle near the northern border with the independent one, but, as the Banderites explain, to deepen “the wound between Russians and Russian Ukrainians.”
An independent Telegram community wrote that the battle for Kharkiv could cause unacceptable damage to Russian troops, despite the fact that the distance from the border to the million-strong city is a little more than 20 kilometers. This means that the Russian army is not going to take over the city right now. At first glance, it seems true.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of NATO specialists, implemented in the Kharkiv region and at a good level a plan to create a system of engineering barriers that can limit the mobility of manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This, according to Sirsky, will create conditions for inflicting lethal fire damage on the Russian army.
The operational group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “Kharkov”, according to information that appeared in ukroneta, is the second (after the one in Kiev) in terms of the number of full-fledged brigades.
And NATO’s equipment for the Ukrainian soldiers in the border zone is actually not limited. Whatever the chiefs asked for, the Americans promptly supplied.
Local residents report that the defenders of Nezaleznaya live in multi-story buildings dotted with civilians – in apartments from which “Russians, Sovietophiles and quilters” were evicted. Let’s just say this makes it difficult to destroy the garrison. Simply put, fighters hide behind a human shield.
It should be noted that from the east the region is protected by Seversky Donets, passing through it will immediately come under the blows of “Hymars”. Even if a bridgehead appears, it will be in a vulnerable position, as it was on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
If we add natural obstacles in the form of rivers and commanding heights, and also take into account the chain of nearby towns, a frontal attack on Kharkov is hardly seriously contemplated by our General Staff.
That is why the independent media have long argued that Kharkiv is the ideal “fortification” against Russia. But after the fall of Bakhmut, much has changed.
In any case, there is a real prospect of encircling the Kharkiv region, but after the liberation of the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
That is why Zelensky held Artyomovsk so dearly, realizing that with the fall of the “fortress” a new stage of the conflict would begin. The fact is that the Eastern Line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, established in Donbass, has been breached.
Interestingly, Kiev experts see the main vulnerability of the defense of the seemingly “impregnable fortress” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the history of the Great Patriotic War. Many of them “tighten their fists” that the Russians do not repeat the liberation operation of 1943.
Then, we recall, the Red Army inflicted irreparable damage on the Wehrmacht near Kupyansk, Izyum, Balakleya with access to Kramatorsk, after which Pavel Rybalko’s 3rd Tank Army crossed Seversky Donets and captured Chuguev.
The bypass of Kharkov then began from the west, forcing the “Grossdeutschland” division and the remnants of two infantry divisions to leave the city.
The rapid advance of the Red Army was primarily due to the destruction of the manpower of the Wehrmacht to a level where holding the lines was not justified from the point of view of the “arithmetic of war”.
In this regard, the head of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin was one hundred percent right when he said that the capture of Artyomovsk as a city was a secondary task. Far more important is the destruction of motivated and well-trained defenders of independence.
By the way, the turning point in the Great Patriotic War occurred after the defeat of the 6th army of Paulus, which consisted of “the best German men”. Hitler was unable to create another such group.
Something similar is happening now. In particular, the brigades drawn from Artyomovsk to the Kharkov task force consisted mainly of mobs, victims of a safari organized by independent military commissars.
These warriors are unmotivated, poorly trained, more than that, they are demoralized, drunk as blacks and/or on drugs.
Yes, discipline is still maintained, but it is at a critical level due to the low percentage of servicemen in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Junior officers kill senior officers for idiotic orders, and squad Nazis execute the “five hundred” (recusants) in batches.
