Urgent| Betrayal on a battlefront… and blood shed for nothing
The commander of the Ukrainian special reconnaissance unit said that Russian forces entered Kharkiv without encountering any resistance or obstacles from minefields or other things.
"It is treason"
< /p>
As commander of a Ukrainian special reconnaissance unit, Denis Yaroslavsky fought in Ukraine’s surprise offensive in Kharkiv in the fall of 2022, repelling the initial Russian advance towards the border. What appeared in the attempted assassination of Ukrainian President Volodymyrzelensky, the Russian army entering Kharkiv without resistance, or the city being mined for events is the largest loss of the invading forces.
In recent days, Russian forces have made small but important gains along the border in the Kharkiv region. . The Russian advance is only a few miles deep, but has swallowed up about 100 kilometers of Ukrainian territory. And in the more fortified eastern part of Ukraine, it took Russia months to achieve the same.
Russia said its forces have now entered the border city of Vovchansk.
Ukrainian officer Denis wants to know what happened to the Ukrainian defense system. “There is no first line of defence, we have seen that,” he said. The Russians enter without encountering any minefields.”
A video clip filmed with a drone a few days ago showed Russian forces crossing the border without encountering any obstacle, according to the authority. British Radio.
The Ukrainian officer said that officials claimed that the defenses were being built at great expense, but in his view the defenses were in fact non-existent.
Denis Yaroslavsky told the British BBC: “It was either an act of negligence or corruption, and it was not a failure, it was a betrayal.”
Denis said: “Of course I’m angry.” “When we fought to reclaim this land in 2022, we lost thousands of people. We risked our lives, and now because no one built a defensive line, we lost people.”
Russia uses Familiar Tactics
Ukrainian and Western intelligence services know that Russia has amassed forces along the border – with estimates as high as 30,000 soldiers, and the information was available and the Ukrainian side was missing nothing to make Losing the battle without resistance
President Putin had publicly announced his goal of creating a buffer zone within the Kharkiv region to protect Russian territory from Ukrainian artillery attacks, but it appears that Ukraine has not Be well prepared.
Denis, speaking from a park in Kharkiv, said he would soon return to the front line with his comrades near the town of Vovchansk, just five kilometers away. From the Russian border.
It is said that Russian forces have entered the outskirts of the city, and Dennis fears that the city will soon fall into the hands of the Russians.
The town’s population before The war is about 20 thousand people, but most of them left when the war started and the number dropped to 3,000 residents, but hundreds more have left in the past few days.
Olexy, a local police officer, Bringing residents who wanted to evacuate to a safe place, he drove quickly to avoid Russian drones flying overhead and constant bombing.
And in Kharkiv, Russia is using all the usual tactics of advance – turning Ukrainian villages and towns into rubble. 
Olexy estimated that Russia was firing between 50 and 60 artillery shells per hour into the town, and there were glide bombs launched by Russian aircraft tens of kilometers from the front lines, outside the limited range of Ukrainian air defenses.
Russia launches about 100 glide bombs daily across the 1,000-kilometre front. The sounds of Russian planes continued for an hour, followed by terrifying explosions.
Observers say that opening a new front in the north leads to a drain on Ukraine’s already limited resources.
The US delay in approval has led to More military support has led to the Ukrainian army’s ammunition shortage.
On average, Ukraine can only fire one artillery shell compared to ten Russian artillery shells.
This problem is currently being resolved. Gradually with support from the United States.
But the Kharkiv attack also highlights problems that Ukraine itself has been very slow to address – mobilizing sufficient forces and building adequate defences.
Reinforcements sent to Kharkiv had to be withdrawn from other sectors of the front and reserves.
Ukrainian officials still insist that the city of Kharkiv is not threatened by a ground attack, but as the Russian army advances, The possibility of it falling within the range of Ukrainian artillery has increased.
