The RF is accumulating troops near the state border: Analysts assess whether an offensive is imminent.

Gathering of enemy troops at the border near the Kharkiv region

According to analysts from the DeepState project, an increase in enemy troop strength is observed near the state border with the Kharkiv region. The enemy is trying to increase pressure on the Ukrainian armed forces and is testing defensive capabilities.

"The adversary is attempting to move their troop line closer to the contact line and making attack attempts. Visibility on all dangerous directions to our front line must be ensured. The gathering of troops at the state border indicates that the enemy is ready to conduct active offensive actions," - explained Andrij Pomahajbus, the chief of staff of the 13th operational brigade 'Chartia'.

Pomahajbus elaborated that the occupiers use various types of military equipment and a combined movement method: artillery, drones, heavy armored vehicles. "Infantry support is provided in one direction to divert attention, while an advance takes place in another direction," - he added.

Recently, the most tense situation has been recorded in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. The spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service, Andrij Demtschenko, confirmed this information.

According to analysts, enemy troop accumulations at all sections of the front are being used to identify weaknesses in the defense and apply pressure with high intensity.
