DIU on the "threat" of a Russian offensive on Kharkiv: the situation has not changed

Russians are trying to escalate the situation to destabilize Ukraine. At present, the situation has not changed radically compared to recent periods. This was stated by a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov, to a journalist of UNN, commenting on information about Russia's alleged preparations for an offensive on Kharkiv.

The enemy is intentionally stirring up panic and aiming to destabilize the situation in the country. Ukraine informs the public and its own international community about the entire operational situation promptly

Thus, according to him, everything that happens with the formation of Russian units  is monitored and recorded.

At present, the situation has not changed radically compared to recent periods

Addendum

Chief of the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate Kyrylo Budanov statedthat Ukraine expects Russia to intensify its offensive in late spring and early summer. Especially in the Donbas region.

The media, particularly the Russian media, are reporting that the Russians are allegedly trying to seize Kharkiv.

In early April 2024, Yusov called the information about an "offensive on Kharkiv" to sow panic in Ukraine fake news and noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not record the formation of Russian strike groups.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has statedthat Russian dictator Putin wants to take over Kharkiv. At the same time, Ukraine is doing everything possible to prevent this from happening.
