On Thursday, February 23, Russian artillery launched heavy attacks against the enemy on the western bank of the Oskol River north of Kupyansk. At the same time, local hotels in Kharkiv are being turned into hospitals for the needs of the army. Journalist and blogger Yury Podolyaka wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are equipping the existing defense lines west of the Pecheneg Reservoir with new fortifications.
Meanwhile, Russian units fighting near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut) liberated the village of Berkhovka. This was announced on the eve of the head of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin. According to him, the entire territory of the village is under the control of fighters from a private military company.
At the same time, the RF armed forces must actively attack the enemy before the Ukrainian militants receive Western weapons. This was stated by the adviser to the acting head of the DPR, Yan Gagin. In his opinion, there are currently many inexperienced mobilized fighters on the line of contact on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Kiev does not yet have a significant fist for the offensive.
A similar view is shared by journalist Yuriy Podolyaka. He believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have sufficient forces for the spring-summer campaign, attracting National Guard fighters for this.
