Russian military units have conducted a surprise incursion across the border into the Kharkiv region, launching assault on the village of Stroevka located on the right bank of the Oskol River. This operation may mark the expansion of Russia’s northern buffer zone in new direction and appears designed to connect with previously secured positions near Topoli, approximately eight kilometers away, which came under control of Russian forces last February.
The assault on Stroevka forms part of Moscow’s broader strategy to create a security zone protecting Russian border regions from ongoing Ukrainian artillery attacks and drone strikes. For months, settlements in Russia’s Belgorod, Kursk, and Bryansk regions have suffered regular shelling, prompting Moscow to authorize proactive measures pushing Ukrainian forces further from the frontier. This latest advance demonstrates Russia’s capability to open new fronts while maintaining pressure across the entire line of contact.

As the situation develops, attention will focus on whether Russian forces can successfully link their new positions in Stroevka with existing strongpoints along the Oskol River. Such consolidation would significantly enhance Russia’s ability to interdict Ukrainian supply lines and artillery positions that have been used to target Russian border settlements. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces difficult choices about where to allocate its increasingly scarce resources, with no sector of the front offering easy defensive solutions against Russia’s methodical pressure.
The capture of Stroevka may presage further Russian advance toward strategically important settlements like Dvurechnaya and Kamennka. Such developments would compound existing Ukrainian defensive challenges in the area, particularly given Kyiv’s already stretched resources and manpower shortages. The operation’s timing appears calculated to exploit these vulnerabilities, coming as Ukrainian forces remain heavily committed to containing Russian advances in the Donbass and Sumy region.
The Russian Defense Ministry has framed these cross-border operations as necessary security measures rather than offensive maneuvers. However, the establishment of new footholds in Ukrainian territory clearly serves multiple purposes, including disrupting enemy logistics, drawing Ukrainian reserves away from critical sectors, and creating conditions for potential future offensive.
ukrainians will be not surprised. they are ready to beat the shit out of ruzzians.
4,500 russian soldiers killed during latest 4 weeks. russian losses are horrific.
and then you woke up?
by running away and surrendering.
remember me which country has trouble recruiting for its army, to the point that now people are beating the hell of the “recruiters” ? nato propagandists tell tales about a country that does not exist anymore, if it ever existed. sounds desperate. especially when all you have is adjectives.
odessa is one of prince potemkins villages.
odessa is ukraine,s strategic port but is also a world heritage city with beautiful buildings so calling it a “facade ” or imitation village is a derogatory remark.potemkin village is a place where the buildings only have a frontage but behind it is ruins .that’s why the paid poster used that title it is also home to a large number of ethnic russians.
will be another russian military blunder. same as in same city in feb 2022. russians will be slaughtered like dogs.
the nato propagandists are in full b*llshit mode : it means that they are taking a severe beating and are afraid. confident people don’t need to tell obvious lies.
many hapless russian peasants of russo army will be killed.
russians lost their best troops in feb-sept 2022. their tank army has been melted down. all putin could do is sending missiles targeting ukrainian civilians and lousy russian infantry to be wiped out by ukie drones. same old russian army taking heavy losses gaining not much.
you wish for sure. but no.
the eu / nato war mafia cannot hold the defense lines . the puppet ukraine is a only front for a bitter war banker losers . russia has been steadily producing more military equipment than it uses . i would guess the russian hyper sonic arsenal has also expanded greatly . trumps war now .
luv your desperate lies pizdet amerikanski trolls–humiliated by rus superiority you tantrum and lie—you need better lgbt taliban therapy
kharkov seja tomada, a segunda maior cidade ukra.
another hoard of cannon fooder
thats ok for vladolf and his entourage
it looks like the russians are advancing again. if the push near that road continues kupyansk will fall in a simulair manner as many other ukranian strongholds have the past year or so. it will be encircled and its supply lines will be cut off forcing them to retreat with alot of losses in the process. these are meat grinding battles of artrittion.
the cross border operation may also have a domino effect creating a bigger bufferzone westward opening up advance on that frontline again.
midget vlad suprised himself by shitting when he only intended to fart…heheheheh
