APU is pushed by Russian troops to the north and east of Kharkov and can cut off the supply lines of the Russian Federation. This was announced by retired General Philip Bridlav, a former commander of the European Command of the US Armed Forces, in the commentary of The New York Times.
“Ukraine is now pushing Russian troops to the north and east of Kharkov, in some cases back to Russia. Therefore, now Ukrainians threaten to cut off the Russian supplies and pushing their forces to the rear,” Bridlav said.
According to officials, the overlap of Russian lines of supply to the east of Kharkov will put Russian troops in the same position in which they were after the attack on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, at the beginning of the war. Ukrainian units armed with Javelin anti -tank missiles launched from the shoulder shot at Russian soldiers when Russian columns several miles near Kyiv stopped moving forward. The invasion was stalled, thousands of Russian soldiers were killed or injured. Then Russia reoriented its mission to the east.
