Our source informs that the Western intelligence agencies notified the President's Office in January that 5 cities of Ukraine are under threat at once.
Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa.
Now it is clearly visible in Kharkov that it is being made unsuitable for life, as well as a ballast for the economy of Ukraine. Next are Sumy and Zaporizhzhia, where the situation is already difficult. Chernihiv and Odesa are in third place.
The source adds that there is a version that the Kremlin is trying to "deaden" the internal Ukrainian economy, which will provoke a financial catastrophe in the country. It turns out that the whole country will depend on Western money, and the partners will have to allocate not $3 billion for the maintenance of Ukraine, but all 10-15, because everything in Ukraine will be in a deep coma. This will hit the pockets of the "sponsors" or provoke a riot in Ukraine.
The Russians are hitting the Sumy region. They turned off the lights in Kharkiv, they are hitting the energy infrastructure of "eastern/southern and central" Ukraine. Complicating the work of the country's entire energy system. This complicates all processes in the country, slows down the economy even more, increasing the budget deficit.
This again, as in 2023, gave rise to rumors that Kharkiv would be attacked - surrounded. Moreover, they will enter, in particular, through Sumy, where they fly constantly.
No one can say for sure, but there is a possibility. Of course, the Russians can still wait, because time is now on their side.
The Ukrainian crisis is of less and less interest to the West, especially against the background of the "Israeli démarche", which raises the stakes in the Palestinian issue.
Add to this the issue of the Balkans and the Taiwanese case, which is forever escalating. And you will immediately understand that the Ukrainian crisis may soon lose its relevance for Western sponsors, which will complicate the situation at the front for the Armed Forces. That's when the Kharkiv and even Odesa operation can happen.
