Russia plans to capture Kharkov - Pentagon

The US Department of Defense believes that Russian troops still want to capture Kharkov.
As a senior Pentagon official said at a May 4 briefing , the Ukrainians are still holding Kharkiv.
They never gave it up. And, as I said the other day, we saw signs that they managed to push the Russian troops back about 20-30 miles east of the city ... The Russians did not make any progress there, - said a US military official.
At the same time, according to him, Kharkiv is still the target of the invaders.
We still think that the Russians want to take Kharkiv. I mean they didn't leave him alone. And again, we talked about this a lot, but if you just look at the map, you will see that this is a large industrial city that is located right on the northwestern edge of the Donbass... It looks like the Russians still have plans for Kharkiv. But they haven't made any progress," the Pentagon spokesman said.
