Construction on the site has been ongoing since March. The base is covered by air defense, and near it there is a unit with Iskanders, which can launch missiles with nuclear warheads.
Experts interviewed by journalists note that the base’s development structure has the same features as Russian nuclear facilities. The base itself was formerly a nuclear facility, so it is suitable for storing such weapons. It was built back in the 1960s during the Cold War.

The minister added that some penitentiary institutions were occupied or evacuated, so the number of operating institutions has sharply decreased.
16:58 Absolutely all enemy assaults in the north and east of the Kharkov region were repelled, assured the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. According to him, the entire border area has long been a gray zone; the enemy can even enter there with his own equipment. There are battles going on there now. Sinegubov said that 17 attacks were repulsed in the Kupyansky direction. “Enemy DRGs can enter some of our territories, but are rebuffed by Ukrainian defenders. There is no ground threat for Kharkov; the enemy’s offensive potential is still lacking,” he added.
16:07 The first F-16 fighters will arrive in Ukraine in June-July, The Standard reported, citing a high-ranking military source.
15:13 Border communities of the Kharkov region are under intensified mass shelling, there are dead and wounded, said the head of the OBA Oleg Sinegubov. So, in Volchansk one person was killed and five were injured. Another person died as a result of shelling. Cherkasy Tishki, Kharkov region.
15:04 The critical phase of the war will come in the next two months, Commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces Alexander Pavlyuk told The Economist. According to him, American aid is just beginning to reach the front, so Russia is throwing all its available combat-ready equipment into battle. "Russia knows that if we get enough weapons within a month or two, the situation could turn against them," the general explained.
At the same time, Pavlyuk said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are experiencing a major shortage of artillery and armored vehicles, and not of people. He also believes that the Russian Federation will continue to focus on the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, but has not yet given up on the idea of capturing Kyiv. According to the general, the Russian army cannot carry out large-scale operations on several fronts at once. “Russia is testing the stability of our lines before choosing the most suitable direction,” he said.
Pavlyuk also said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing ten new brigades, some of which will be deployed to protect Kyiv.
14:46 This morning the Russians advanced 1 km in the Volchansk region of the Kharkov region. Their goal is to create a buffer zone and push the Ukrainian Armed Forces back 10 km from the Russian border, Reuters writes, citing a high-ranking military source from Ukraine.

My farewell visit is also an opportunity to convey this message to our home,” Caputova noted.
13:32 Today, at about 5 am, the Russians tried to break through the defense line under the cover of armored vehicles in the Volchansky direction, the Ministry of Defense reported. As of now, the attacks have been repelled, and battles of varying intensity are taking place. To strengthen the defense on this sector of the front, reserve units have been sent. Meanwhile, the head of the Volchansk IVA, Tamaz Gambarashvili, said that the population was being evacuated from Volchansk and surrounding settlements.
13:21 In Kiev, due to the difficult situation in the energy system, schedules for limiting electricity consumption for business and the industrial sector will be introduced from 18:00 Friday, May 10, until 07:00 Saturday, May 11, KGVA reported. Restrictions do not apply to household consumers; at the same time, residents of the capital were urged to save electricity on their own, especially during evening peak load hours.
13:16 France has decided to transfer long-range Scalp missiles to Ukraine either expired or assembled from expired components, which will allow Paris to avoid depleting its own missile arsenal, Radio France Internationale reports. The Chrysalis program will use Scalp missiles stored in “cocoons” (containers). French factories will make these missiles usable in three months. One of RFI's sources called this plan very effective in economic terms, "since the Scalp missiles removed from their cocoons are already intended for disposal."
12:53 Five EU countries have agreed to strengthen control over compliance with sanctions against Russia: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Finland. The agreement will strengthen and also unify control over compliance with visa requirements in relation to the Russian Federation. “By signing the agreement, we want to show other countries and companies the importance of close cooperation for effective sanctions control and contribute to increasing the effectiveness of sanctions,” said Finnish Customs head Sami Rakshit.
12:38 The head of the Kharkov OVA Oleg Sinegubov confirmed that the Russians have intensified shelling in the northern direction, primarily striking the city of Volchansk. According to him, shelling with CABs, MLRS and artillery continued all night, and there were also unsuccessful attempts by the DRG to break through the border. At the same time, Sinegubov emphasized that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are confidently holding their positions, “not a single meter has been lost.” “The enemy group does not pose a threat to Kharkov; its forces are only sufficient for provocations in the northern direction,” added the head of the OVA. He also called on residents of border settlements to take shelter. For more information about what is happening in the Kharkov region, see the article Attempt to break through the Russian Federation into the Kharkov region .
12:16 In the morning, the Russians fired artillery at the civilian infrastructure of the Esman community, Shostkinsky district, Sumy region - one person was killed, a 17-year-old was wounded, the prosecutor's office reported.
11:57 Ukrainian military reports that the Russians are preparing an attack in the area of Volchansk, Kharkov region. Thus, at night the Russian army carried out powerful artillery preparations, and DRG groups tried to probe the border line, but they were repulsed. Russian military public pages also write that from 5 am they intensively shelled the Kharkov region, especially Volchansk.
The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andrei Kovalenko, said that the Russian Federation will only be able to aggravate the situation on the border, but not break through to Kharkov. According to him, the actions of the Russians are predictable. “The enemy has the resources to aggravate the situation in the border area, as was previously discussed. It is important not to confuse this with the ability to capture Kharkov, which does not exist. Now there will be a lot of speculation on this topic,” Kovalenko warned.
11:42 The Czech Republic transferred the first F-16 fighter simulator to one of the tactical aviation brigades of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Its main module is already being tested and prepared for operation by Ukrainian specialists, the Air Force reported and showed a video:
11:05 Zelensky will not lose his legitimacy upon expiration of his five-year term of office on May 21, 2024. His powers will last until the next head of state is elected, Justice Minister Denis Maluska told the BBC. Given the situation in the country, it would now be a huge mistake to officially and publicly question the legitimacy of the president, the minister emphasized.
10:58 Magura maritime drones, according to preliminary estimates, caused damage to the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the amount of about $500 million, said Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate. According to him, the process of improving the Magura V5 maritime drone continues continuously. After each successful operation, a thorough analysis of the actions of both Ukrainian intelligence officers and the enemy is carried out.
10:51 The Cabinet of Ministers has changed the procedure for booking military personnel during martial law. Now the central executive authorities, after checking the lists of reserved enterprises, will submit them for approval to the Ministry of Defense, and not to the General Staff, as before.
10:48 The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense warns of a new wave of Russian IPSO amid the aggravation of the situation at the front. The Russian Federation is increasing its destabilization efforts aimed at splitting Ukrainian society. In particular, it can use mass measures for this using political slogans, where it throws in its own provocations. Intelligence emphasizes that the enemy’s military targets are not only military facilities, but also civilian infrastructure - hospitals, train stations, crowds of people.
10:27 As a result of Russian shelling, one person was wounded in the Ostromy Kurakhovsky community of the Pokrovsky district of the Donetsk region, said the head of the OVA Vadim Filashkin.
09:59 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the Russian army will continue to maintain the current high rate of attacks for some time, but then its capabilities will decrease. Analysts note that over the past month, the Russian army has noticeably increased the frequency of ground attacks in eastern Ukraine.
Thus, the British Ministry of Defense reported that the number of Russian attacks increased by 17% from March to April. The main efforts of the Russian Federation were concentrated on Chasovoy Yar, Avdeevka and Marinka. In particular, the number of attacks on Chasov Yar increased by 200% between March and April. This is partly due to the fact that the soil has dried out, opening the way for armored vehicles. This likely “reflects the current conditions of hostilities and the intention of the Russian military command to achieve success before Western military assistance arrives on the front lines,” experts say.
09:31 In the Kherson region, one person was wounded as a result of Russian shelling over the past 24 hours, said the head of the OVA, Alexander Prokudin. 28 private houses were damaged, critical infrastructure and a gas pipeline were hit.
08:56 At night, the Russians launched a missile strike on Kharkov - 12 private houses were damaged, two people were injured, including an 11-year-old child, said Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA. Another person was injured as a result of enemy shelling. Liptsy, Kharkov region.
08:38 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of May 10:
personnel - about 479,710 (+980) people,
tanks - 7434 (+5),
armored combat vehicles - 14,313 (+32),
artillery systems - 12,387 (+47),

08:21 Over the past 24 hours, 95 military clashes took place at the front, the General Staff reported in its morning report . In particular, in the Avdeevsky direction, the Defense Forces repelled 28 attacks in the areas of the settlements of Kalinovo, Novoaleksandrovka, Sokol, Novoselovka Pervaya, Umanskoye, Yasnobrodovka, Netaylovo, Donetsk region. Another 21 attacks were repulsed in the Bakhmut direction - in the Belogorivka areas of the Luhansk region, as well as Verkhnekamensky, Novy, Razdolovka, Ivanovsky, Stupochek, Kleshcheevka and Andreevka of the Donetsk region.
In the Kupyansk direction, 13 attacks were repelled in the areas of Sinkovka, Petropavlovka, Berestovo in the Kharkov region and Stelmakhovka in the Lugansk region; in Limansky - four attacks in the areas of Novosadovoy, Torsky, Donetsk region and Serebryansky forestry, Lugansk region; on Novopavlovsky - seven attacks in the areas of Konstantinovka, Vodyanoye and Urozhaynoye of the Donetsk region; on Orekhovsky - 19 attacks in the area of Staromayorsky, Donetsk region and Rabotino, Zaporozhye region; on Kherson - two attacks on the left bank of the Dnieper.
07:35 At night, drones attacked the First Plant refinery in the Kaluga region of the Russian Federation, a large-scale fire broke out on the spot, Russian public pages write. The governor of the Kaluga region, Vladislav Shapsha, confirmed that “as a result of the fall of a UAV,” a fire occurred on the territory of the enterprise in the Dzerzhinsky district; at the moment, the fire has been extinguished, and there were no casualties.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that at night the air defense allegedly destroyed five UAVs over the Bryansk, Moscow and Belgorod regions. Another drone was intercepted in the Kursk region, local authorities reported.
06:59 Air defense at night destroyed all ten attack UAVs of the Shahed-131/136 type, which Russia attacked from the territory of Crimea, the Air Force reported. The drones were destroyed within the Odessa, Nikolaev and Kherson regions. In addition, the enemy used two S-300/S-400 anti-aircraft guided missiles from the Belgorod region in the direction of the Kharkov region.
06:02 British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that the governments of NATO allies should increase defense spending due to the threat of a large-scale war with Russia. In particular, he called for setting a “new benchmark” for defense spending at 2.5% of GDP. In turn, London promised to reach 2.5% by 2030. “This world is more dangerous, more unstable, more confrontational than most of us have ever known. We must recognize this fact and act accordingly - not in a year or two, not in a few months, but now,” the head of the British MFA.

[Korrespondent] The Russian Army began offensive operations on the border of Ukraine in the Kharkov region, and intense fighting continues there now.
The Russian army has begun a new wave of offensive actions in the Kharkov direction and is trying to break through the defense line, confirms Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
The Ministry of Defense adds that as of May 10, these attacks were repelled, and fighting of varying intensity continued. At the same time, the command nevertheless decided to strengthen this section of the front with reserve units. What Russia was up to by intensifying its attacks in the Kharkov region is further in the story.
WHAT'S KNOWN FOR THE EVENING
A number of Ukrainian public pages report that the Russians nevertheless captured several border villages. In particular, journalist Yuri Butusov reported that at night Russian troops with up to 4-5 infantry battalions crossed the state border line and captured four border villages - Strelkoye, Krasnoye, Pilnaya, Borisovka. The largest captured settlement was Strilne.
This area, according to him, has actually been a gray zone for a long time; the defense line was not deployed there, so the enemy managed to create a bridgehead up to 10 km wide and up to 5 km deep on Ukrainian territory without any special obstacles. The total area of the occupied territory is more than 30 square kilometers, the journalist adds.
Analysts from DeepState confirm Butusov’s words. In particular, experts, with reference to Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, spoke about the situation that developed in Pilny. The public claims that the occupiers “have been freely in the village for some time, as if they were at home, and the local command in a strange way provided information about the situation in the village, which, in particular, was used by the senior military-political leadership.”
As evidence, Deep State publishes screenshots of the presence of Russian military personnel in Pilna in previous days.
“The result is natural - the enemy accumulated its forces and began to push both into neighboring villages and to the south,” analysts note.
They also conclude that so far the Russian offensive efforts have been distracting in nature and limited in their mechanized capabilities. However, landings on the territory of the Russian Federation “contain additional forces that can be used in case of accidental success, as, for example, in Ocheretino.”
As for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, experts say that our military has a problem with establishing communication between units, which “leads to personnel losses, including due to the lack of counter-battery combat.”
Later, the statements of Deep State and Butusov were denied by the head of the Kharkov regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov. He says that all attempts to storm the occupiers in the north of the Kharkov region were repulsed, but there were no losses of territory. According to him, the settlements where the enemy wanted to break through are located 1-2 km from the Russian-Ukrainian border.
WHAT IS THE ENEMY UP TO?
Military publics note that the Russian army in the Kharkov region may have several strategies.
The first is a direct operation to capture Kharkov. In this case, the invaders will try to cut the Kyiv-Kharkov highway and then, developing an offensive, turn east and enter the regional center from the south. In parallel with this, one can expect an attack from Volchansk in the direction of Chuguev with the aim of cutting off Kharkov from the main forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are located in the Kupyansk area.
The second is the creation of a “corridor” or “sanitary zone” for the Belgorod region and moving the front line closer to Kharkov in order to turn it into a front-line one.
The third is a “deceptive maneuver” to draw back the reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and strike in a completely different place. As well as the enemy’s “information” operation to incite panic.
WHAT ARE THE UKRAINIAN ARMED FORCES LEANING TOWARDS?
The latter scenario is considered more realistic by the speaker of the operational-strategic command of the Khortitsa troops, Nazar Voloshin. According to him, the activation of the Russian army in the north of the Kharkov region is nothing more than an “information and psychological operation” of the enemy.
Thus, according to Voloshin, the Russians want to sow panic among the population and interfere with the planning of operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In particular, force the Ukrainian military to withdraw forces and resources from Donetsk to the Kharkov direction.
“There is no offensive in the north of the Kharkov region. The defense forces, together with the Armed Forces and various military formations, control the situation,” he said for the hromadske portal .
The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council, Defense Forces officer Andrei Kovalenko also adds that today, during the fighting in the border region of the Kharkov region, the Russians used information manipulation and launched a campaign “the beginning of an offensive on Kharkov” to sow panic among civilians.
At the same time, according to him, the Russians have the strength for a broader offensive in the north in the border areas, in fact these are the Sumy and Kharkov regions. But regarding a full-fledged attack on Kharkov, the enemy does not have enough of these forces, Kovalenko assures.

Slobozhansky direction: reconnaissance in force in the north of the Kharkov region, situation as of 13.00 May 10, 2024
Due to the fact that in the Russian Telegram (at the suggestion of Ukrainian sources) jingoistic sentiments have already begun to disperse, it is necessary to talk about what is happening in the north of the Kharkov region: moreover, to speak in a balanced way, without running ahead of the locomotive and without echoing the various information dumps that rushed to write about the scale of promotion.
At night, the Sever group of troops and units stationed along the old Russian border began to launch massive attacks on planned targets using cannon and rocket artillery, mortars, and using the allocated aviation resource of the Russian Aerospace Forces in this area.
The purpose of fire destruction is to reduce the enemy’s defensive capabilities, as well as to destroy long-term firing points.
At the same time, advanced groups began clearing the front line. Due to the fact that previously Ukraine and Russia were a single space, in most places one settlement flows into another, and the border for a long time was very arbitrary. Therefore, military operations in the frontline zone began to be classified as a large-scale offensive - this is somewhat incorrect. It was about reconnaissance in force, which was carried out and carried out successfully.
If you look at the map, the battle zone has been expanded to a depth of 2-3 kilometers in some areas. It is too early to talk about the full transition of border villages under the control of the Russian army.
As a result of hostilities in the border area over the past year, the same settlement. Strelechya is a bare field. Until the fighting north of Kharkov approaches at least Liptsy, it is extremely premature to talk about the capture of villages and towns.
Therefore, combat operations in the border areas are primarily dashes through the ruins and strongholds of the enemy.
The accent on Volchansk is noticeable to the naked eye. Volchansk is one of the enemy’s main transshipment bases; logistics are being built through it east of the Seversky Donets. The city plays an important role in the defense of the northeast of the Kharkov region. Local authorities have already announced the start of evacuation from the locality.
They are working in Volchansk and the surrounding area, and they are working systematically: footage of the destruction of the bridge over the Volchya River has been published. The interfluve area is important for facilitating combat operations near Kupyansk and possible breaching of enemy defenses in the east of the Kharkov region.
Due to the fact that the North group of troops began the task of creating a buffer zone, an unprecedented revival began on the Internet, fueled not only by the enemy along the TsIPsO line, but also by Russian hype-eaters and jingoists. The enemy takes advantage of this: you can always declare the next village “virtually” taken by the Russians liberated by imprinting the Ukrainian flag there.
13:04 Statement by the head of the press center of the Vostok group -video.
Units of the Vostok group of troops continue to carry out combat missions in the special military operation zone.
During active operations, the group's units improved the position along the front line, repelled a counterattack by the assault group of the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade in the Staromayorsky area, and thwarted attempts by the enemy to reinforce forward positions in the areas of Makarovka, Ravnopol, Nikolsky, Ugledar and Gulyai-Polye.
Air strikes, artillery fire, and heavy flamethrower systems hit strongholds and gathering places of manpower and equipment of the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade and the 128th Territorial Defense Brigade in the Urozhainy and Makarovka regions.
Over the course of 24 hours, up to 175 enemy military personnel, two T-64 tanks, two American-made M113 armored personnel carriers, two 122mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mounts, an FH-70 towed howitzer, three units of automotive equipment and five ammunition supply points were destroyed.
12:23 Statement by the head of the press center of the “South” group -video.
Units of the “Southern” group of forces successfully repelled an attack by the assault group of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade in the Krasnoye area.
As a result of active actions, they occupied more advantageous positions and inflicted fire on the 23, 33 Mechanized, 79 Air Assault brigades, and 111 Territorial Defense brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of Elizavetovka, Novy and Pobeda.
The enemy in the Donetsk direction lost up to 215 military personnel wounded and killed.

Avdeevsk direction: advance of the RF Armed Forces in Uman.
In recent days, in the Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops have been actively trying to develop successes in several sectors at once, including those that were covered for some time in the “fog of war.”
During the day, footage of the flag being hoisted over the memorial in the center of the northern part of Umansky appeared on the Internet. And already towards the end there were reports of the complete liberation of the village, although there is no reliable confirmation of this information yet.
At the same time, between Umansky and Orlovka, south of the S051801 highway, there is a fortified area about two kilometers long. Taking into account the configuration of the front line, it is highly likely that it also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces - without its capture, going to Umanskoye would have been quite a difficult task.
To the south, in Netailovo, a decrease in the concentration of enemy manpower was noticed - it is still difficult to say whether this is due to the lack of reinforcements or the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to the latest information, Russian troops are engaged in heavy fighting in the center of the village.
In the northern sector in the Arkhangelsk region, units of the Russian Armed Forces are strengthening their positions on previously occupied lines, continuing to clear the area to the west of the settlement. There were no attempts to counterattack the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the day.

[Regnum] President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko relieved Major General Viktor Gulevich from the post of Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces - First Deputy Minister of Defense, Lukashenko’s press service reported.
Gulevich was transferred from military service to the reserve due to age.
The major general retained the right to wear a military uniform and insignia, the press service noted.
As Regnum reported, in May 2023, Lukashenko appointed Konstantin Molostov as the new chairman of the State Border Committee of Belarus. In this post, Molostov replaced Anatoly Lappo, who was transferred from military service to the reserve. Prior to this appointment, the new head of the State Border Committee of the republic held the position of head of the Grodno border group.
In February 2023, Lukashenko appointed Pavel Muraveiko as First Deputy Secretary of State of the Security Council of Belarus. Lukashenko in his comment noted the outstanding “combat” qualities of Muraveiko. Before his appointment, he held the position of Deputy Chief of the General Staff - Head of the Main Operations Directorate of the Armed Forces of Belarus.
In April 2024, delegates of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly approved the country's new military doctrine. The doctrine remains defensive in nature, noted the Belarusian Ministry of Defense. The General Staff of the Republic, in turn, reported that, according to the new military doctrine, Minsk will consider aggression against a state allied with Belarus as an attack on itself.
As Colonel Douglas McGregor said, the Russians will start on Khar'kov first.
[Regnum] The Russian military conducted massive shelling of targets in the Kharkov region at night, military correspondent Alexander Kots reported on May 10 in the Telegram channel.
According to him, “the border area has been in motion since the night,” subscribers from the Belgorod region told about this. The Russian Armed Forces fired from “all possible calibers” and used aircraft and missiles.
There are reports of the liberation of populated areas and movement towards Kharkov, Kots added and warned against confidence in “quick victories”.
“Hard combat work lies ahead. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for our people,” the military correspondent wrote.
As Regnum reported, earlier the coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, informed about the strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on ammunition warehouses and the location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine personnel in Kharkov and the Kharkov region. According to the underground, explosions occurred in the west of Kharkov at 03:20 and 03:50. Ambulances arrived in this part of the city.
More from regnum.ru Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing ten new brigades for the Russian offensive
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are creating ten new brigades to prepare for the Russian offensive. This was announced by the Commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Alexander Pavlyuk, in an interview with The Economist.
“One of the most urgent tasks facing the general is the creation of ten new brigades to prepare for the Russian offensive,” Pavlyuk said.
At the same time, it is noted that Pavlyuk insists that the main vulnerability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the lack of military equipment, and not manpower.
As Regnum reported, on April 18, the British magazine The Economist wrote that the Russian military is easily approaching the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are unable to repel them. The author of the article noted that the attempts of the Ukrainian army to build defense lines may be in vain, because the Russian Armed Forces continue to strike and advance against it.
Politico writer Jamie Dettmer wrote on April 17 that Kiev is sliding towards disaster due to the lack of Western assistance, shortages of ammunition, losses and a drop in the morale of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He also complained that in Ukrainian cities the queues of people wishing to join the army, which were observed at the beginning of the conflict, have disappeared.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on April 19 that the special operation continues and its goals have not changed, despite the fact that the Western countries that are actually parties to the conflict are constantly changing and expanding the modalities of participation in it.
The Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Pavlyuk, gave an interview to The Economist , in which he assessed the situation at the front and made predictions about the development of the situation in the future.
TIME X
Pavlyuk noted that the enemy is using all its combat-ready equipment at the front to test Ukrainian troops, which are already exhausted and insufficiently supplied. The critical phase of the war, he said, could come in the next two months.
“Russia knows if we get enough weapons within a month or two, the situation could turn against them,” Pavlyuk said.
According to him, Ukraine immediately needs to strengthen its air defense. He stressed that the arrival of F-16 fighters in early June will be an important psychological stimulus.
However, it is not yet known whether Ukraine will receive newer versions of the F-16 needed to counter Russian bombers. Enemy aircraft remain at a distance, beyond the range of Ukrainian air defenses, dropping heavy guided bombs on forward positions at a rate of up to 130 bombs per day.
HOT SPOTS
The commander of the Ground Forces believes that Russia will continue to focus on the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, which are already bearing the brunt of the war. But intelligence confirms that Russian troops will soon stretch their defenses, attacking the northeastern regions of the Kharkov and Sumy regions.
“Russia is testing the stability of our lines before choosing the most suitable direction,” says Pavlyuk.
In his opinion, the loss of Chasovoy Yar would not be decisive, since it is “an ordinary urban settlement.” In addition, the commander commented on the attacks in the Ocheretino area, near Avdeevka, rejecting statements about possible misunderstandings that led to the loss of positions.
He attributed this to the crazy pressure, the Russian air superiority and the artillery ratio, which reached 20 to 1. Along the entire front line, Russian guns fire seven times more shells than Ukrainian ones.
HOW WILL UKRAINE RESPOND?
Pavlyuk said that Ukraine is now preparing at least ten new brigades to prepare for the offensive of the Russian army. Some of them are deployed to protect Kyiv.
According to the general, the Russians still have not given up their ideas of capturing Kyiv.
'Defending Kyiv remains one of our main tasks, no matter how dire the situation in the east is. This is the heart of Ukraine, and we know that the defense of the capital will play a key role in the future,” he emphasized.
At the same time, Pavlyuk insists that the main problem now is technology, not people. According to him, Ukraine desperately needs artillery and armored vehicles.
No new hostile offensive groups have yet been observed in the south of Ukraine. The situation in this direction remains stable.
Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesman for the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, announced this on the air of the telethon, writes RBC-Ukraine.
"The situation remains unchanged, we do not see any signs of the formation of offensive groups, as well as a change in the condition and position of the enemy in our direction," Pletenchuk said.
The spokesman adds that the enemy continues active assault operations on all areas of the southern front of Ukraine, using drones and carrying out attacks.
"They continue their attempts to carry out assault actions on virtually all areas of the front. In our operational zone, these are Robotyne and Krynky. We will have full information about these events later," said the spokesman.
Yesterday, the Russians made 21 unsuccessful assault attempts.
"We entered Robotyn, there were five assaults, but they were forced to leave the battlefield due to losses. There were 14 assaults in Starobilsky, and two in Kryny," Pletenchuk added.
During the past day, 95 combat clashes took place at the front. The enemy continues active assault operations in the Donetsk direction, there are 60 attacks per day.
Russia, with the help of disinformation, is trying to sow panic among Ukrainians and force Ukrainian troops to withdraw forces and resources from the Donetsk direction to the Kharkiv direction.
This was reported by the spokesman of the Khortytsia operational-strategic group of troops, Nazar Voloshyn, writes LIGA.net.
"The enemy is making efforts, including in the information space, to provoke panic and force us to withdraw forces and resources from Donetsk and Luhansk regions to Kharkiv region," he said.
Voloshyn emphasized that the Defense Forces are ready for enemy provocations, the situation is currently under control.
It is worth noting that the Kremlin set a "deadline" for the Russian army to capture Chasov Yar by May 9 . However, the enemy failed to implement the plans of the top leadership of Moscow. The Disinformation Center urges citizens to trust only official sources.
"As a rule, when active actions continue, the situation in the areas changes many times during the day. The picture is dynamic, only official sources have full information," emphasized Andriy Kovalenko, head of the CPD.
The Ministry of Defense confirmed that around 5 a.m. the enemy tried to break through the defense line . The defenders did not lose a single meter of our land. They repulsed the offensive, but battles of varying intensity continue. Additional reserves were sent for the defenders.
Oleg Synegubov, the head of the Kharkiv OVA, reported on the mass shelling of Kharkiv region , as well as the activation of enemy DRGs in the north of the region.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted a new offensive of the enemy on the border with the Kharkiv region . Fighting of varying intensity continues there.
Ground Forces Commander Oleksandr Pavlyuk believes that Russia will continue to focus on Luhansk and Donetsk, the eastern regions that have borne the brunt of the war. But intelligence suggests that Russian troops will soon strengthen their defenses, attacking the northeastern districts of Kharkiv and Sumy.
More from Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: Kharkov direction. 05/10/2024
About the situation in the north of the Kharkov region.
As of the evening of May 10, the Russian Armed Forces liberated 5 border villages (the territory is being cleared) and more than 40 square kilometers of territory in the north of the Kharkov region. Active operations with the support of artillery and aviation continue. The assault groups are followed by reinforcement groups.
Occupying these areas will certainly reduce the enemy’s ability to shell the border areas of the Belgorod region. Today the enemy continued shelling - 17 Vampire MLRS missiles were shot down + several drones. Our troops have not yet reached
the main defensive positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces ( https://t.me/boris_rozhin/123204 ) in the north of the Kharkov region. So “defense breakthroughs” and “throws on Kharkov” are not yet about current events. In fact, this is still a cleansing of border areas where the enemy does not have strong defensive positions and testing the enemy’s capabilities near the border of the Belgorod region.
Anyone who follows the changing situation with a map of the NWO zone in their hands understands perfectly well: we have become more active in the north of the Kharkov region (as many as three directions), in the south of this region (Kupyansk). We are driving the enemy out of Donbass in the Donetsk direction.
But the Russian General Staff has become a hundred times more sophisticated; we cannot talk about any obvious directions for the main attacks. Now our troops do not gather in lava, our commanders no longer drive columns of smart vehicles (there are many more of them).
Our desired operational goal is to break the enemy’s resistance, push through the defensive formations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and flee and panic the Ukrainian military. And this will definitely happen.
