Zelensky’s Unexpected Forecast Regarding Russian Offensive In Kharkiv Region

What is happening can only be the “first wave.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Russia’s offensive in the Kharkiv region can only be the “first wave.”

He stated this in an interview with AFP.

According to him, Russia’s offensive “may consist of several waves; there was the first wave” in the Kharkiv region.

The President noted that in general the situation in the Kharkiv region, where Russia has captured several border villages, is “controlled” but “not stabilized.”

In particular, according to him, Russian troops penetrated 5-10 kilometers along the northeastern border before they were stopped by Ukrainian troops.

“We must be sober and understand that they are moving deeper into our territory. And not vice versa. And this is still their advantage,” he said, adding that he still does not consider this a great success for the Russian Federation.

As for Kharkiv, Zelensky believes that Russian forces “want to attack” the city, although they understand that it will be “very difficult.” At the same time, he said, “if this continues, we will be forced to create a security zone.”
