The expert recalled the winter of 2022, when even the trained military personnel of the Russian Federation could not take Kharkiv by storm.

There is no threat of a repeat attack by the Russian occupiers on Kharkiv today, noted military expert Oleg Zhdanov.

At the same time, Zhdanov clarified that there is currently no threat, but the possibility of the enemy repeating such a scenario remains.

“As of today, a strike group is not being formed in the Belgorod region to attack Kharkiv… There may be provocations, DRG to a platoon with the aim of restraining our forces at the border, there will be 100% shelling – until we get more powerful air defense systems and try to protect the city But to say today that there will be an attack on Kharkiv tomorrow… this is Russian IPSO to drive the people of Kharkiv to a nervous breakdown,” Zhdanov said.

The expert recalled the winter of 2022, when even the trained cadre military of the Russian Federation could not take Kharkiv by storm, and as a result the enemy had to bypass the city.

“Who will take? 10,000 people, a division? They gathered three divisions to try to reach Kupyansk. There is currently no threat of an assault on Kharkiv. There is a possibility, there is no threat,” Zhdanov said.

News war – Russia went on the offensive

The day before, the Institute for the Study of War stated the beginning of a new Russian offensive on the Luhansk region. This is consistent with intelligence data, which noted that Putin ordered the capture of Donbas by March.

According to the summary of the General Staff, the Russian Federation tried to storm the Armed Forces at once in five directions in the east. In addition, the losses of the enemy at the front are increasing every day.

In recent weeks, politicians and experts have been actively discussing the goals of future Russian operations. The Ministry of Defense, for example, did not rule out that the Kremlin would try to launch a major offensive before February 24, the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

At the same time, the CIA stated that the critical period in the Russian-Ukrainian war will last at least six months.

The West, in turn, focused during this time on transferring more powerful weapons to Ukraine, including tanks and long-range projectiles. Kyiv also hopes to receive modern fighter jets from European countries for a counteroffensive.
