Now the Russian offensive in the Kharkov region has slowed down.

The Ukrainian military counterattacked in Volchansk and recaptured several neighborhoods. This was stated by Bild open data analysis expert Julian Röpke.

It is known that in mid-May, Russian occupiers occupied the northern part of Volchansk in the Kharkov region and several central blocks. Over the past few days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to partially drive the Russians out of the center. In response to this, the Russian army mercilessly destroys the city, turning it into ruins.

It is noted that to the west of Volchansk the invaders took about half of the village of Staritsa; in other directions their advance became slower.

“Already, only about a quarter of the city’s territory is under unambiguous Russian control. A week ago it was almost half. It seems the Ukrainians have managed to advance there and oust the Russians. The Russians are losing ground in Volchansk and are increasingly resorting to destroying the city with MLRS, heavy artillery and gliding air bombs dropped from a distance,” the analyst assured.

The situation in the Kharkov region – latest news

Earlier, the deputy commander of the battalion of the 57th brigade with the call sign Marcin said that the Russian occupiers turned Volchansk into Bakhmut in 5 days .

“At first the enemy pressed with such force that it was even amazing. They marched in columns of 30-40-60 people. We didn’t have as many shells as these Russians had. If we had so much infantry, we would have been able to reach the borders – and even with fewer losses than the enemy suffered,” the military man explained.

At the same time, one of the founders of the DeepState project, Roman Pogorely, said that in the Kharkov region the enemy is drawing up all its reserves . According to him, the occupiers did not abandon the “meat assaults.”

“Now the Muscovites are stuck there thanks to the feat of Ukrainian heroes. But the enemy is now bringing up everything they have, especially a lot of infantry, and only thanks to the fact that our fighters inflict defeats with FPV drones and artillery on any concentration of Russians, then the plans of the Russian army are really are breaking down,” the analyst emphasized.
