The Russian troops are changing tactics around Kharkiv – now they are using small groups and natural cover for assault actions. The commander of one of the Ukrainian brigades emphasized that the occupiers are trying to restore their positions, following orders even at great losses.
'Russian security forces act under the cover of rain and fog, trying to achieve their tasks under any circumstances,' explained the commander.
According to 'The Coach', even the coerced ones faced pressure from the received orders and sought justifications, but still completed the assignment. Russian assault troops prefer to use deception and cunning to achieve their goal, which remains clear – to regain positions around Kharkiv.
The commander of the Ukrainian operational group spoke about the new tactics of the Russian troops in the South Slobozhansky direction, where the occupiers are trying to restore their positions against the backdrop of losses. They use pairs and natural cover to conduct attacks under the cover of rain and fog, although this leads to significant losses and hopeless situations.
