Points of attention
- The Ukrainian Armed Forces are successfully repelling attempts by the Russian army to launch a new offensive in Kharkiv Oblast.
- The importance of holding key areas such as Vovchansk and Lyptsi to prevent further enemy reinforcements and advancements is emphasized by military commander Yuriy Fedorenko.
- Recent losses of the Russian army, including damage to the newest Russian wheeled 2S43 'Malva' self-propelled gun, highlight the effectiveness of the Ukrainian defense forces.
- The high intensity of the combat zone in Kharkiv Oblast showcases the determination of the Ukrainian military to prevent the crossing of the state border and defend against the Russian occupiers.
- Despite suffering losses in manpower and equipment, the Russian army continues its failed offensive as the Defense Forces successfully repel enemy forces and carry out operations to secure key positions.
What is happening in Kharkiv Oblast
Fedorenko noted that the Ukrainian military is conducting combat operations to prevent the crossing of the state border in Kharkiv Oblast by the DRG of the occupation army of the Russian Federation.
The military officer emphasized that the DRG of the Russian occupiers is trying to find out what the situation is on the front lines along the border line in the Kharkiv region, where there are currently no hostilities.
At the same time, Fedorenko added that the Russian occupiers are withdrawing additional forces to the Vovchansk and Liptsi districts.
The enemy needs Vovchansk in order to form a bridgehead for further advance to the rear of our group, which holds Kupyansk. Why do the enemy need Liptsi? To get as close as possible to the administrative boundaries of the city of Kharkiv. When the enemy brings up barrel artillery, as well as jet fire systems, he will be able to effectively inflict fire damage, at the expense of barrel artillery, on the city of Kharkiv, which will lead to total terror and strengthen certain positions of the Russian Federation in achieving certain dividends with our partners, - explains the commander of the "Achilles" attack battalion.
He noted that it is critically important for the Ukrainian military to prevent further strengthening of the enemy in Vovchansk and, if possible, to knock out the occupiers from the city.
What is known about recent losses of the Russian army in the Kharkiv region
Fedorenko also confirmed that the Ukrainian military managed to hit the newest Russian wheeled 2S43 "Malva" self-propelled gun.
"Unfortunately, it was not possible to burn it for sure, but we know for sure that it was significantly damaged, thanks to intelligence information," the soldier assured.
He emphasized that currently the situation in the combat zone in Kharkiv region is characterized by high intensity.
The Russian occupiers suffer numerous losses in manpower and equipment, but at the expense of reserves they continue the already failed offensive.
But the Defense Forces masterfully perform their work, because the enemy has no success there. A number of operations were also carried out, which made it possible to knock out the enemy from a certain number of positions and now hold them securely. The situation is close to stabilization, that is, the Defense Forces are fighting at full strength in order to be able to say so, - noted Fedorenko.
