The Russia-Ukraine war that has been going on for more than a year has almost reached a turning point. Russia started a war on Friday to capture the Kharkiv area of Ukraine. This is the biggest decision after Putin's fifth coronation. This is the first time since February 2022 that Russia is moving to capture Kharkiv.
This is the first time since February 2022 that Russia is moving to capture Kharkiv. On this side of the border is Belgorod while on the other side is the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. On June 4 last year, Ukraine launched a retaliatory attack against Russia.
However, Ukraine's counter-attack failed miserably. Ukrainian forces could not break the Russian defense. Now Russia has launched an aggressive attack on Ukraine. Let us tell you that the President of France had once threatened that if the Russian army moved forward to capture Kharkiv, France would send its army. Therefore, this is the biggest tricky question for Putin. Russia will have to make its aggressive attack successful at any cost.
NATO will use its full strength to stop Russia. Kharkiv is also important for India. Thousands of Indian students had gone from Kharkiv to the Russian city of Belgorod, which it is being claimed that PM Modi had stopped the war.
On Friday, Russia attacked Ukraine's north-eastern city of Vovchansk with artillery shells and rockets as well as air strikes. Regional governor Oleh Sinihubov said the nighttime shelling targeted Vovchansk, in the Kharkiv region and less than five kilometers from the Russian border. After this attack, the authorities started the process of evacuating about 3,000 people from there.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry said that early in the morning, Russian forces tried to penetrate Ukrainian defenses near Vovchansk. He said that reserve units have been deployed to stop the attack. Analysts said the attack could mark the beginning of a Russian effort to create a 'buffer zone' that President Putin promised to create earlier this year to prevent continued Ukrainian attacks on Belgorod and other Russian border areas .
Ukraine previously said it was aware that Russia was deploying thousands of troops to its northeastern border near the Kharkiv and Sumy regions. Ukrainian intelligence officials said Kremlin forces have recently launched a ground offensive in eastern Ukraine, and they expect Kremlin forces to attack in the northeast as well.
However, Russia cannot capture Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city. But that could force Ukraine to send more troops to the region, making other areas more vulnerable to attack. Additionally, forcing Ukrainian authorities to evacuate civilians is likely to cause disruption and divert resources. The head of the Vovchansk administration, Tamaz Hambarishvili, told Ukraine's Hromadske Radio that the entire city is now under heavy shelling and it is not safe to live here.
