The intelligence service has received information about the Russian Federation’s offensive in Kharkiv Region and informed the country’s military leadership about the attack plans.
This was stated by a representative of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s State Intelligence Service, Andriy Yusov. According to him, “the enemy’s actions began according to a known schedule, about which all the relevant authorities and leadership were informed.”
Yusov said that both the military of the Security and Defense Forces and special forces with special units of the Ukrainian State Intelligence Service (GUR) are fighting against the Russian Federation in the Kharkiv direction. He added that “the enemy is suffering significant losses.”
Andrei Yusov, addressing the Russian occupiers who were in the Kharkiv direction, called on them to surrender, emphasizing the significant losses. He assured that Ukraine “guarantees compliance with the Geneva Conventions and humanitarian law, promising security to those who do not want to become cannon fodder or war criminals of Putin’s regime.”
Yusov added that surrendering or switching to Ukraine’s side is a reasonable alternative because of mounting losses in that direction. He also announced the opening of an additional detention center for Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine.
