The Kremlin transferred 50,000 troops from the Kursk region to Kharkiv direction - Military Watch Magazine.

Russian troops have already achieved success in this direction, in particular, they captured Kamyanka at the end of April. Currently, a concentration of so-called "elite " units, including the Russian Airborne Forces, has been recorded near the city.

As the chief of staff of the 13th separate brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Andriy Pomagaybus, told the publication, the Russians are pulling forces closer to the line of combat contact and preparing for assaults. The redeployment of troops from Kursk became possible thanks to the participation of units of the North Korean army in the defense of this region - according to the source, it was they who helped to oust the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the large-scale Ukrainian offensive in August 2024.

The article also mentions the beginning of assault operations by the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Kostyantynivka and Volodymyrivka in Sumy region. Simultaneous attacks may indicate an attempt to create pressure on several sections of the front at once. Meanwhile, Russian troops are gaining new opportunities thanks to the use of North Korean weapons systems — in particular, KN-23 missiles and Bulsae-4 ATGMs.
