The Ukrainian armed forces are preparing an attack near Kharkiv. They want to throw the defence forces into the fight.
Amid attempts at a "counterattack" in Kherson Region, the Ukrainian army is building up its forces in the Kharkiv direction, where it also wants to attempt an "attack".
In particular, reinforcements are taking place in the areas of Chepel and Velyka Kamyshevakha (15 km from Izyum) and Prishib and Husarovka (12-14 km from Balakleya).
In total, at least five battalion-tactical groups (BTG) of 500-600 men each are concentrated here. The BTGs are represented by units of the 4th Operational Brigade, 93rd Independent Mechanized Brigade, 10th Independent Mountain Assault Brigade and 92nd Independent Mechanized Brigade of the AFU.
The grouping's artillery has been reinforced with Polish Krab and US M109 self-propelled vehicles and NLAW anti-tank missile launchers. The tank unit of the "fist" consists of several dozen obsolete Soviet T-72AB tanks, the Polish T-72M1 export version, as well as the more modern PT-91 Twardy - also Polish.
These AFU positions have been shelled by Russian aircraft at least twice in the past 24 hours.
The remnants of the Kraken national battalion have been deployed in the rear of the group. According to local residents, the nationalists have already fired at the AFU fighters who left their positions after the air force attack and forced them to return.
The group is currently being reinforced by about ten more battalion-based territorial defence groups assembled over a three-month period from the recently mobilized men. Thus the total grouping is unlikely to exceed 8,000-9,000 men, which is comparable to the forces Kiev threw into the Kherson attack. Moreover, most of the soldiers are non-professional military personnel.
