- Ukrainian troops are preparing to defend the north-western city of Sumy in the Kharkiv region, as Russia continues its summer offensive.
Russian forces have already penetrated the border area near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city in recent weeks.
The US-based Institute for the Study of War think tank believes Putin's main aim is to create a buffer zone, as does Russian military analyst Anatoly Matviychuk.

6:55 "It is not close to Kharkiv, but its over 10km"....Paradox
Ah the computer warriors that have never served a day in the military give their expert opinion.
Your recent comments are filled with Ukrainian cope. Not having a nice day eh?
@@wolfswinkel8906 my comment still shows itself true eh.
@@user-xe3ch4pv6k for you, yeah. Ukraine's series of defeats is the only reason why you aren't your usual computer expert self today.
So you have to fight in a war to have an opinion when your tax dollars are laundered in Ukraine? That’s a new concept!! Is that Brandon logic?
I’ll let you know I’ve won Command & Conquer 1 AND 2 on THE MOST DIFFICULT SETTING.
I think I know what I’m talking about
How can it be a surprise when the Russian military always do what they say. Medvedev announce after the attack on Belgorod that they were going to create a buffer zone and that is what they are doing.
But as the West keeps saying, you can’t trust the Russians. Which is why the West is always surprised. Never mind the Ukrainians that have always lied.
It's the BBC, it lives on fairy tales and leftie views
Plus history legends explained that Ukraine themselves were aware that Russia could launch an attack from there as well.
Because the western media has the prejudice that anything Russians say is a lie. This why they are always surprised. Especially since they keep listening to the untrustworthy Ukrainian sources.
They need to reprogramming a bot.Type this sentence for 3 years.
To every legend out there who predicted Russian win but were called Russian bots we apologize as western bots 😂
,,😂👍👍 really appreciate British sense of humour
That apology will never come. There will never be satisfaction from these people. Even when Russia controls all of Ukraine they will find ways to believe they were never wrong.
Apologies accepted
russia bot apologies to russia bot, how sweet (no)
Russia winning and would win anyways 0 chance to win for Ukraine
We can all sense the sadness that the journalist's are ranked with in their voice
Or can we sense their total disbelief when the agenda they have been pushing for the last year starts to fall apart?

Yes I remember BBC saying or rather reporting exactly what zelesky said as fact saying the Russian were stopped one kilometer in Ukrainian territory@@rabirai1003
Zelensky told now stabilished the situation in Kharkhib ares. But Russia today advanced 4 km.😊
he has no plans to invade Karkiv, but he will take Karkhov
President Putin said "We have no plans for taking Kharkov _for now_". He didn't specify when "now" ends ;-)
I think Vouchansk looks like a strategically key town ....having control their would be great way to access Kharkiv.
Kharkov is a Russian city. It was built by the Russian Empire by Russian people. Putin is returning to his original Russian lands.
Vovchansk: Ukrainian name
Volchansk: Russian name
There's no "Vouchansk", though.
Russia hasn't exactly sent a large number of troops to kharkiv oblast. There's less troops there than they had in tiny little Avdiivka.
Are you there
How can the situation be very difficult and again be under control,you just hear that from BBC and the comedian
The overwhelming majority of Ukrainian males haven't volunteered. Add that to reliance on the US and you do not get a good outcome.
Why do Ukrainian men between the ages of 20 and 25 not have to join the army and they can live in other countries, have fun and have fun?
Majority of them are chilling in the west and cashing out allowances, why would they go in the trenches???😂😂😂

Zelensky said last year that the aid money to build walls but there are no walls. Where are the millions money? According to data, these are new construction companies and the owners are poor problematic person. Ukraine is also started deleting blogs of these walls last year.
Zelensky cost the US tax payer $2,8 million per hour, every hour. Zelensky costs the taxpayer the US taxpayer $2,8 million per hour. Sorry, there was a misprint in the comment - not 28 -2.8 million dollars per hour.
That’s 466 666$ every minute…. Or 7 777 every second…..
Ex comedian Zelensky is no longer a legitimate President he is just a Dictator some other NATO puppet like Saddam, Osama or Noriega in Panama.
What are you waffling about, the entire military aid package given to Ukraine is not even 1/5th of the yearly pentagon budget.
A study by the Kiel Institute of World Economy found that Washington allocates twice as much money to Kiev as all European countries combined.
The United States allocates about $2.5 million an hour to Ukraine, said American retired lieutenant general and former Donald Trump’s national security advisor Joseph Keith Kellog in an interview with Fox News back in 2022.
"We have provided $18 billion in economic, humanitarian and military aid. The big figure, if you think about it by the hour, is that the US is giving Ukraine about 2.5 million dollars per hour. This is the money of American taxpayers. Again, without any accountability," said Kellog.

Ukraine preparing to defend?? Where are the defences they built over months when they knew the attack was coming after rainy season.
That means they prepare to withdraw to better positions 1st around Kiev and after - near Lvov.
Yes

He is a beggar
He is a western puppet
And then he blames the givers
Наш президент єврей, міністр оборони татарин та головнокомандувач російської. І ми воюватимемо до останнього українця.
Соображаешь
There is no war between NATO and Russia because Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Ukraine cannot become a member while the war is ongoing. Even if the war ends, the approval of 32 Nato members is required for membership.
The thing is that nato is financing, arming and training the Ukrainian army
Yet, the main reason for this war were the military bases belonging to the NATO countries that had been built in Ukraine.
Not to mention the fact that the former Russian ports on the Black Sea that Russia had gifted to Ukraine were being rebuilt to harbour the navy vessels of a NATO country...
Weird, isn't it?
Covidiot much?
Putin invaded as soon as his puppet got ousted.
They didn't have a chance to join NATO.
They need to be given this chance to avoid this tactic in the future.
@@glintongordon6811 Yeah but not to any great extent Giving F16s is great but F22s and F35s exist. Same as giving old versions of tanks. NATO could be doing a lot more
Poland military strategist expect Russia to bomb Kharkiv extensively while Russian troops encircle and bypass Karkhiv to the west, cut off supply lines, cut off escape route, link up with the Eastern front, then battle of Kharkiv begins. This also allows attack on Ukraine's fortifications on Eastern front from both sides. Will require Russia adding another 300,000 soldiers to cover an area that large.
Mr. Lie😂
Correspondent guy in Kiev told nun but straight facts
Ukraine has lost the war....period 😅😅😅
💩💩💩💩
Meanwhile... the situation on the battlefield is developing, to put it mildly, not the best way for Kiev, in Kharkov Zelensky held a meeting of the rate, which discussed the readiness of Ukrainian troops to defend the city. The reason was the information of the British military intelligence that the Armed Forces would not be able to protect Kharkiv and Sumy in the event of the transition of the Russian Armed Forces to active offensive actions in these areas.
Zelensky demanded from the political wing a full audit of the fortifications. From the military - to build up the group at the expense of the hidden transfer of forces and means from the Kherson and Zaporizhia directions, as well as defence reserves of Kiev.
The command meeting discussed issues of city retention until December. Head of the State Department Anthony Blinken has categorically forbidden to surrender Kharkov earlier than the end of the elections in the United States. The Pentagon will increase the speed of deliveries and will allocate an additional $2 billion for antimissiles for Patriot, which will buy in Japan,- says TG Win/Win.
It is curious that in the report of the British, in addition to Sum and Kharkov, Chernigov, Odessa and even Kiev appear.
Military experts write that the Ukrainian army has managed to localize the breakthrough of the Russians in the Kharkiv direction by transferring a huge amount of infantry and equipment from other directions and rear. But their losses are terrible. Russian troops actively level the enemy positions with aerial bombs and artillery, a lot of used barrage ammunition "Lancet", which easily catch the equipment of the Armed Forces even on the bypass Kharkov.
This is why NATO is crucial for world stability, next will be Moldova, then Latvia, then Poland, then Finland, etc.
Zelensky - "what happens in Kharkiv today is EU and US fault"😂 you heard the man more money and faster, time's ticking billions already spent
And with this new revelation, Ukraine need another 10 Billion dollars (particularly in U.S. dollars) and in addition more military equipment (preferably U.S. made military equipment) sent immediately 😒
But what is the point in continuing to send the Ukraine more weapons if Russian continues to blow them up?
More rubbish from the BBC…
Yeah keep coping troll lol
With what ????
They don’t have an troops left hence the kidnapping on the streets for more canon fodder
All to make the Raytheon a bit wealthier
BBC :(
rusky said "just training" 2022 ALSO ....
From candem 2 addis addaba
The money for fortification went to houses, cars, and kickbacks…
Ukraine need to regain all it's border.
If they prepared to defend instead of embezzling aid then they wouldn't be in this position
Victim blaming
Truth. Plus they had peace agreement, but the UK warmongers killed it..
Got any proof of this supposed embezzling?
@@DavidGravesExists yeah just look at zewlensky mansions in Florida. You got be drinking a lot of the cool aid buddy.
Dude they already stopped the russians. They only took the buffer zone. Of course they wont put defences right at the boarder. It would be instantly attacked
Russia couldn't capture a flag in flag football. No chance they are capturing Ukraine. They might keep a few villages though * golf clap *
DIVERT TACTIC.. .
Stop this stupid war it’s Slav against Slav
No
Tell that to the country that started this in the first place.
But you lived with each other all these years in peace and you have to admit that there was some stupidity committed from a minority of Ukrainians and there could have been a peaceful resolution before any killings.
She even look tired of the lies😂😂
Prepares? They’re already there.
so where is Kharkiv?
Unlike the unfortunate civilians of Donbas who have been harassed and murdered as part of the US and NATO backed Galician (Banderas) Nazis pogrom of ethnic cleansing since 2014, now extended to Russia, the civilians in Kharkiv are not being targeted by a law abiding Russia. Obviously, Russia, having come this far, must take Kharkiv and Odessa as well fortifying the Suwalki Gap and establishing a land bridge to Transnistria. As I wrote in 2022 after the US, UK, France and Germany torpedoed the peace deals of Istanbul and Minsk (1 & 2)
Russian propaganda proved wrong long time ago.
Ukraine running out of conscripts to arrest… those who are elderly and children thought they were safe from war service. Zelensky says get to the front lines!!!

Putin also said he was not going into Ukraine back in February, 2022.
Yes he said he wouldn’t invade if nato gave insurances the Ukraine would not be allowed to join. They didn’t 😂
But all was changed when Zelenskii said that he wanted to make a nuclear weapon. Monkey with a nuclear weapon… Putin is very clever dude.
@@elenochkan3479 why did Ukraine give the weapons up, many years ago.
If I was Ukraine I would build 100s of them. Because of Putin.
And president for over 20 years yes he is smart, but going into Ukraine was not.
Time will show the truth.
@@HatBilly2008 Kharkov is a Russian city. It was built by the Russian Empire by Russian people. Putin is returning to his original Russian lands.
@@HatBilly2008because the USA bought Ukrainian weapons in 1993. You should listen interview of Clinton. He said about this.
It seems the intention is not to capture Kharkiv, the defence of that city is set to be tougher than Bakhmut, and there are not forces to encircle it right now. In WW2 Kharkiv changed hands between soviets and germans twice, and the soviets were able to take it in a second attempt that left +200K dead. All around it is flat farmland, approaching the city through minefields in full view of drones, artillery and long range missiles is a very horrible mission.
Well said.
Not sure there are mine fields. This is so precious farmland!
It was their intention. They have changed their objective to save face, as they no longer believe their initial objective can be accomplished.
Even with NATO's full support Ukraine is losing badly.
The BBC has just stated the truth for the first time, in the first sentence, but that was it!! The rest is the usual Drivel!! 😂😂😂
The BBC is the UK government propaganda machine!! How come a BBC reporter allegedly knows the Russian intentions, Russia don’t exactly tell NATO its next move does it!! Every time the Russian advance stops for supplies to catch up, the BBC states the Russians are losing!! WTF.😂😂😂
What did she say? Are we letting these people read the news to English people?

Ask NATO. They were busy building bases near russia and consider them a threat for no reason.
look its now too important for the west to lose so expect nato troops on the ground soon enough call it what you want peacekeeping force or aid workers but western miltary will soon be getting involved on a larger scale they are already on the ground at the minute these western forces are called volunteers or mercenaries just a pity that they dont send peace negotiators instead of weapons to ukraine

The appearance of F-16s will not play a key role, says Führer Zelenskyy, Ukraine needs at least 120 to 130 modern aircraft. Russia’s breakthrough in the Kharkov region is not a line of defense. “ They came across the border, and the defense line is further,” Führer Zelenskyy said. The overdue Führer also promised a new counter-offensive (to recapture Rabotino), but could not yet name its date. According to him, now it’s Russia’s turn to lead the offensive.
