Kharkiv Direction

Khartiia is conducting a defensive operation in the Kharkiv region while also carrying out active assault operations. We have achieved certain results. We are not disclosing them yet, but I am confident that in time we will learn how much territory we have liberated and how many enemy forces we have destroyed during this period.

I know that our personnel are resilient and well-trained. We are also employing foreign volunteers, and they are performing confidently. Khartiia has extensive experience working with foreign volunteers, and it has been proving very successful.

The newly established assault regiment is already carrying out missions, and we are seeing the effectiveness of its work.

The Azov Corps is holding one of the most difficult sectors. The force ratio there is approximately one of ours to five enemy troops.
