Kovalev commented on whether it is currently possible to re-offend the Russian Federation from the north in the Kharkiv Region.
As of today, assessing the available forces and means of the enemy, we can conclude that they will not be enough to carry out a large-scale offensive. Along with this, the Russian occupiers do not reduce the pressure in this direction, they do not stop trying to create a so-called buffer zone in the Kharkiv region
According to him, the enemy, due to large losses in manpower, conducts constant rotations, trying to bring new units to the direction both from the reserve and from other areas.
“You can’t relax,” Kovalev said.
To a clarifying question, whether there is a threat of a repeated offensive, in particular in the north of Kharkiv region, Kovalev answered: “No, I repeat once again that as of today, we do not see the available forces and means of the enemy to carry out such actions.”
