Based on this message, and others posted recently... we can expect Kharkiv to fall imminently, right?
I mean if this is a crisis that Ukraine is simply ignoring, the collapse must be imminent. The lines should crumble soon, as in the next 30-60 days, right?

As I said above, Russia isn't trying to take Kharkiv. They don't have the force structure in that sector to even attempt it.
They are:
1) Diluting Ukrainian strength in other sectors by forcing Ukraine to redeploy troops. This has certainly happened to an extent.
3) Creating a buffer zone to prevent future incursions from the Russian Volunteer Corps and Free Russia Legion.
In those objectives, Russia has been successful so far.

That’s another of Lima Whiskey only trusting Russian sources coming back to bite him in the arse. Russian propaganda is ignoring the facts that Ukraine had not prepared significant defenses or troop placements in the villages that Russia has “overrun.” All Ukraine had were delaying forces on the front. They are acting like Ukraine doesn’t have other forces in the area. The Russian sources are also playing up the fact that they are in the village of Hlyboke roughly 14 miles from Kharkiv. They are ignoring the fact that the Hkyboke is roughly 3 miles from the Russians/Ukrainian border. They are also ignoring the fact that Russia has been telegraphing its intentions for months so much that Ukraine has been fortifying the Kharkiv oblasts since the end of February. It’s way too early to say if Russia will or will not succeed, but I am saying that the situation is not the pants down catastrophe for Ukraine that the Russian sources are playing it up as.
