DeepState reveals Russian advances in Kharkiv: Ukraine's critical stand
The DeepState group has updated the war map of Ukraine. It shows that the Russians have taken control over several towns in the Kharkiv region. Near the village of Starytsia, a "massive gathering of Russians was noted." Analysts warn that "the situation could become exceptionally critical."
On Saturday before midnight Eastern Time, analysts from DeepState reported that a group of about 100 Russians was detected near the town of Starytsia in the Kharkiv region. "Over a hundred soldiers formed columns this afternoon before storming the village. This fact confirms that the enemy is conducting a full-scale operation," we read.
In the red area (controlled by the Russians), the villages of Striletska, Krasne, Pletnevka, Borysivka, Pylna, and Hatysche are found.
The fights are about the villages of Morokhovets, Olynikove, and Lukyanov.
As DeepState reports, "the situation continues to deteriorate." "The enemy gradually introduces more significant forces into our territory. The infantry constantly enters, attacking groups in populated areas and trying to gain a foothold, resupply, and continue the movement. Support consists of a small amount of equipment, artillery, aviation, and also high drone activity," we read in the statement published on Sunday at 1 a.m. Eastern Time.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are trying to stop the Russians, as President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about in his evening speech on Saturday.
"Although the main task of the enemy is to divert attention from other areas, without the introduction of reserves the situation could become exceptionally critical. The enemy understands this and the current situation is increasingly forcing the Defense Forces to intervene in this area," DeepState reports.
The fighting group "Ostre Kartuzy", being part of the National Guard of Ukraine, confirms that heavy fighting is taking place in the region. "Due to the strong pressure of the Russians, our defenders had to retreat from some positions," we read in the statement published on Telegram on Saturday evening.
Over 2,500 civilians have already been evacuated from border towns.
