CNN: Ukraine has changed its statement in the past 72 hours and talks about Russia's tactical success
(Baonghean.vn) - CNN (USA) reported that Ukraine is in a difficult situation, while Russia is actively attacking on all fronts.
TASS news agency (Russia) reported on May 14 that CNN (USA) commented that Ukraine's tone has changed in the past 72 hours, when the Ukrainian army began talking about Russia's tactical successes.
CNN points out that in Kiev, the phrases "defensive battles continue" and "significant weakening" have begun to be used. According to CNN, such statements reflect the difficult situation Ukraine is facing.
"Russia is not advancing in just one place, but seems to be advancing in four areas, that is, along the entire front line," CNN said.
The biggest concern is along the Kharkiv border, where Russian troops have established control over nine villages and are making "the fastest advances" since the first day of the operation, CNN said. Russia is "gaining momentum that hasn't been seen since March 2022, and Ukraine is being forced to admit how bad its situation is."
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of a number of settlements in Kharkov. The head of the military-civil administration, Vitaly Ganchev, told TASS that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had advanced deep into populated areas in the direction of Kharkov, but under pressure from the Russian military, they could not help but retreat.
Strana (Ukraine) reported on May 13 that families with children have begun to leave Kharkov. At the same time, Kharkov Mayor Igor Terekhov said that there are no plans to evacuate residents from Kharkov; the situation in the city remains calm. Mr. Terekhov explained that the defense council has decided to evacuate only residents of villages located near the combat zone. According to Mr. Terekhov, there are no prerequisites for evacuating people from Kharkov./.
