The Ukrainian army in the Kharkiv region approached the border with Russia, and somewhere even reached it. However, shelling is also possible from Russian territory.
Nevertheless, Kharkov managed to be made safer.
Alexei Arestovich, adviser to the OP, stated this in a conversation with Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin on May 11.
“They removed part of their troops, they defeated parts on Russian territory, they transferred part to the Lugansk direction, Popasnaya, Rubizhnoye … And part was replaced by mobilized from the so-called” LPR / DPR “, but their capabilities are low, ours began to take prisoners. But the border is already has not been a safe zone for a long time, and the conflict will not stop in this place.Because the Russian units are deployed in the Belgorod region, there are probably 10 BTGs there already, because a part was brought here.And Russian troops are shooting at the territory of Ukraine across the border, for example , fired at the Sumy region. I think nothing will stop from this. This (pushing the Russian troops to the border, – ed.) has a symbolic meaning, there is no military one, because it is quite likely that shooting, new attempts to enter, mutual wedging may be ” , – Arestovich said and added that “our troops can and will respond.”
However, he noted that Russian troops had indeed been pushed back from Kharkov.
“Only the RZZO gets into the city from Russian territory. They made Kharkov safer, not completely, but they made it safer,” added the adviser to the OP.
Earlier, Arestovich said that a “cleansing” of the military leadership, which all the generals were so afraid of, had begun in Russia.
