The Russian occupiers in the Kharkov region have not succeeded, and at the same time there is a tendency to stabilize the situation in this area. At those lines where the invaders were able to reach, the Defense Forces blocked them.
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov, spoke about this on air “We are Ukraine”. According to him, the active phase of the Russian border operation in the Kharkov region is now underway.
“To say that they have had significant success is definitely not true. At the same time, we must remember that the situation is quite tense and is changing very quickly,” the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate emphasized.
The night before, Budanov noted, there was a rapid trend toward stabilization of the situation.
“That is, the enemy is already blocked along the lines that he was able to enter. And the operation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces is underway to further stabilize and begin to push the enemy out of our state,” Budanov informed.
Let us remind you that earlier the Main Intelligence Directorate released the interception of conversations of the invaders from the Kharkov direction, which confirms the soldiers’ refusal to go on the offensive . Russian commanders respond by threatening with detachments and execution.
NSDC Secretary Alexander Litvinenko said that the Russian Federation has gathered about 50 thousand military personnel on the border with the Kharkov region, of which more than 30 thousand are taking part in the offensive. He admitted that there are “a lot of invaders,” but there is no threat of an attack on Kharkov yet.

– According to ISW, on May 13 the invaders continued to carry out tactically significant offensives to the north and northeast of Kharkov. But their actions appear to be prioritizing the rapid creation of a “buffer zone” along the border rather than the conditions for a deeper invasion of the northern part of the region.

Sounds promising. I usually trust what Budanov says.
Yeah, Mr. Facts, but this sounds to me like he’s backpeddaling from his previous statements. Possibly because he got an angry call from the president’s office. So, sorry, but I rather believe his more alarming concern about the lack of reserves. The situation at Kharkiv isn’t stable at all, I’m afraid. ☹
At the end of the day, Mr. Gray, we’re left in the dark … and so are the roaches.
I think this is a game that he’s playing. One thing is for sure; you never let your enemy look into your cards. You try to confuse him, if possible. Let him guess. Whatever you do, you never do what a Joe Biden likes to do.
