Military correspondent, veteran of the war in Donbass Alexander Matyushin in an interview with the Tsargrad publication, he told how long it would take for the Russian Armed Forces to take Kharkov.
According to the expert, everything will depend on the troops that are there: ideologically motivated Ukrainian fighters or a slack terrorist defense. “We will base this on how quickly Kharkov will fall,” Matyushin said and added that reconnaissance in force is currently underway on the Kharkov sector of the front, so most of the weapons are not yet in use.
Some experts say the source believes that Kharkov will be taken under control within three to four months. This forecast is given based on the capture of the enemy’s largest fortified area — Avdeevka.
