The construction of defensive lines on the border of the Kharkiv region with the Russian Federation is currently impossible, as it would put the Ukrainian defenders under intense fire from the enemy. Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Combating Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council, reports this.
Kovalenko explained that there are many manipulations regarding the defensive lines. "It would be impossible to build defense lines directly on the border with the enemy, because all the equipment and all engineering works would simply be destroyed by the enemy - his drones, his artillery," he said.
The head of the CPD also explained that there are defense lines in the Kharkiv region that are very reliable. "More details about this will be revealed soon. These are several lines of defense that are very strong. So, friends, do not confuse the border with Kharkiv. The defensive operation is ongoing," Kovalenko noted.
It is important to note that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine previously reported that the situation in the Kharkiv direction remains difficult and dynamically changing. Currently, it is known that the fighting for Vovchansk continues. The military command reported that the enemy has advanced a significant force to attack the city, consisting of up to 5 battalions, and is not paying attention to its own losses.
We will remind that the evening summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for May 12 confirmed that 146 combat clashes took place at the front during the day.
