Russians intensifying infantry attacks, amassing military equipment in Kharkiv region – Defense Forces

This update was shared by Yevhenii Romanov, the spokesperson for the Kharkiv erational Tactical Group on a live broadcast, in response to questions regarding reports of "the formation of a tank regiment on the outskirts of Hlyboke in Kharkiv region."

"Currently, the enemy is primarily attacking with infantry. We know that they are continuously building up their resources, transporting ammunition, equipment, food, warm gear, and fuel in preparation for winter. We are aware of their intentions, though, for obvious reasons, we won't reveal the surprises our forces are preparing in this area. However, I’ll note that tanks are a highly vulnerable target," Romanov said.
