“The enemy is gathering troops’: Putin is preparing a major attack, according to Ukraine soldiers. Kharkiv has been confronted with heavy rocket attacks since the end of December.
The Russian army claimed to have captured the Ukrainian village of Tabayivka on Sunday. The picture that emerges on the map is that the Russians are trying to penetrate the important Ukrainian supply route between Kharksiv and Kramatorsk on an 85-kilometer-wide front. After all, Ukraine's second largest city with around 1.5 million inhabitants is only around 40 kilometers south of the Russian border.
