Top Ukrainian military officials have warned that Russia is building up troops near northeastern Ukraine, raising fears that a new offensive push could be imminent in a region that has become a pressure point<\/a> on strained Ukrainian forces.<\/p>\n

Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky, Ukraine\u2019s commander in chief<\/a>, said on Thursday that Moscow was redeploying troops toward Vovchansk<\/a> and Lyptsi, two villages near the city of Kharkiv that Russian forces have been trying to capture for more than two weeks. Other officials have also said that Russia has massed troops further north, across from the Ukrainian region of Sumy, in preparation for a possible ground offensive in that area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese forces are not enough to launch a full-scale offensive and break through our defenses,\u201d General Syrsky wrote on Facebook<\/a> on Thursday. Still, he said, a reorganization of Ukrainian defenses in the area was underway to be prepared to repel assaults.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s incursion across the border toward Kharkiv has introduced a distressing threat to Ukraine\u2019s military, which is already under constant assault farther southeast in the Donbas<\/a>. Commanders have been forced to move troops to the north to shore up defenses while waiting for Western weapons in numbers big enough to have an impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
