The Russians, facing significant losses in the Kharkiv direction, are reinforcing them by redeploying troops from the Kherson region, according to the Center for National Resistance (CNR).
"Facing setbacks on the northern front, the enemy has begun redeploying units from Kherson to the Kharkiv direction," the statement reads.
According to local reports, Russians are shifting some units and deploying drone operators to the area.
"At the same time, the enemy has bolstered recruitment for the Margelov Volunteer Battalion to replenish losses," notes the Center for National Resistance (CNR).
Additionally, locals during mandatory updates at military registration and enlistment offices are being pressured to enlist under contract and threatened with forced mobilization.
