The situation with Russia’s invasion of the Kharkiv region has stabilized.
Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reports.
“The phase of the Russian border operation in the Kharkiv region is currently underway. It is not true to say that the enemy is having significant success. At the same time, it should be remembered that the situation is quite tense, changing very quickly. However, as of yesterday evening, in my opinion, there was a rapid trend toward stabilization. That is, in principle, the enemy has already been blocked at the lines where he was able to enter. The Ukrainian Defense Forces are continuing their operation to ensure further stabilization and begin to drive the enemy out of the borders of our country,” he said.
Commenting on the situation in the Sumy region, Budanov said that the Russians had planned a similar operation in this region from the very beginning.
“As of now, they keep small groups of forces in the border town of Sudzha in the Russian Federation, but the situation has not yet allowed them to resort to active operations and start implementing their plan,” he added.
Budanov also noted that enemy forces would not retreat from the positions they occupied and the Ukrainian Defense Forces would be driving them out.
He said that the current situation was not catastrophic for Ukraine.
乌克兰通讯社报道，乌克兰国防部情报总局局长基里洛·布达诺夫在乌克兰电视台上表示，俄罗斯入侵哈尔科夫地区的局势已经稳定下来。
他说，“俄罗斯在哈尔科夫地区的边境行动目前正在进行中。说敌人取得了重大成功是不正确的。同时，应该记住，局势相当紧张，变化非常快。然而，截至昨天晚上，在我看来，局势迅速趋于稳定。也就是说，原则上，敌人已经被阻挡在他们能够进入的战线。乌克兰国防军正在继续他们的行动，以确保进一步稳定战线，并开始将敌人赶出我国边境。”
在评论苏梅地区的局势时，布达诺夫说，俄罗斯人从一开始就计划在该地区进行类似的行动。
他补充道：“目前，他们在俄罗斯联邦边境城镇苏贾驻扎着小股部队，但形势尚未允许他们采取积极行动并开始实施他们的计划。”
布达诺夫还指出，敌军不会从他们占领的阵地撤退，乌克兰国防军将把他们赶出去。
他说，当前局势对乌克兰来说还不算灾难性的。
