The Russian army is creating a certain force grouping in the Kursk region, which borders the Kharkiv region, according to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Oleh Syniehubov.

The head of the Regional Military Administration was asked whether there is a threat of an attack on Kharkiv amid rumors of Russian force grouping in the Kursk region. He replied that on the eastern front in the Kharkiv region, Russian forces had already resumed active assault operations after replacing their units. The enemy has no success in this direction.

Regarding the north, the enemy is forming a certain force grouping, further analysis will be conducted: whether it is for a possible attack from the north or other territories. We are taking all measures to be prepared and counter the challenges that may arise," Syniehubov added.

The head of the Regional Military Administration clarified that evacuation plans for Kharkiv have already been developed, and they are updated almost every month.

Russian fakes

Recently, Russians have been actively spreading information about the supposed evacuation of Kharkiv. The enemy frightened local residents by claiming that "such a decision was made due to the possibility of the city being surrounded."

The fakes were published, in particular, on behalf of Ukrainian rescuers. Ukraine has repeatedly denied such fakes.
