These shaping operations north of Kharkiv are no surprise, this was known for weeks. Russian forces failed to capture the capital city of the oblast, the northern defence lines of Kharkiv are from 2022 and reinforced last couple months. As of November 2022, Russian forces only occupied a small portion of land in the Kharkiv Oblast.

Russia's jamming of American weapons in Ukraine is showing the US what it needs to be ready for in a future fight Russian electronic warfare has created problems for some American-made precision weaponry in Ukraine, but Moscow is also showing its hand and telling the US what it needs solutions for to be ready for future fights. Ukraine has employed US precision weapons, such as the HIMARS-fired Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems and air-launched Joint Direct Attack Munitions, throughout the war, but widespread Russian electronic warfare is regularly diminishing the effectiveness of these weapons. Lt. Gen. Antonio Aguto, who's serving as the commander of Security Assistance Group-Ukraine, addressed the problem in December, saying electronic warfare directed at some of the US's "most precise capabilities" was "a challenge." Other US officials have identified these issues as well, adding that the US and Ukraine were working on solutions.Any fixes developed to effectively counter the challenge posed by electronic warfare won't just benefit Ukraine. They're also set to help the US solve problems it has long been concerned about as it prepares for the possibility of great-power conflict. Mark Cancian, a retired Marine Corps colonel who's a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, explained to Business Insider that "the widespread GPS spoofing we see in Ukraine adds urgency to solving a problem DoD has long recognized: that wartime spoofing will reduce the effectiveness of its weapons." ... https://www.businessinsider.com/russ...true&r=US&IR=T |

Its still not clear whether the Russian attacks northeast of Charkiv are serious preparations of an offensive and thus: already part of such an offensive, or just a destraction to bind Ukrainian troops and push them off balance elsewhere. "Experts" are divided and some follow this the others follow that theory. The situation on the battlefield seems to be confused and "in flux".

It could in a way be both except the offensive would not come from north but from east or from north and east.
Just seen 10 minutes of a 60 minutes video on YT title "In the end Russia will lose" Did watch it fully just lots of expert saying this and that to a guy in the video. Edit Here's the video End edit Markus

A Ukrainian field commander in Kharkiv was stunned: “There was no first line of defence. We saw it. The Russians just walked in. They just walked in, without any mined fields” he says.

I'm watching a livestream on YT and the host said something interesting.
To take Kharkiv they would need hundred of thousand soldiers and thus is their 50.000+ men not enough. Markus

There are messages that more or less said Ukraine had contained the Russian advance in Kharkiv, that there were a number of positions that Russia would still be captured over the next hours/days, but that the situation was under control. Some of the positions Ukraine has lost in Kharkiv should not have been lost, or at least shouldn’t have been lost how they were lost. And also, equipment they lost also shouldn’t have happened. There was a degree of incompetence involved, which should not be seen at this stage of the war. Mistakes that simply cannot be made. Some mistakes by commanders of the area, and some made by the higher organization of the military.
We may be looking at the preliminary phase, Russia forcing the Ukrainian army to make a choice of where to send their reinforcements. When the real offensive begins, Russia wants to have secured as many Ukrainian reserves as possible. Compared to the beginning of the war, Russian troops are less well-trained. Recently, Russia seems unable to mount large-scale attacks in which multiple brigades work well together.
