Military expert: Russia paid a heavy price

Mutual attacks in the Lypcii and Vovchansk regions continue. On the contact line – no significant changes.

Kupyansk. Russian efforts to break through the Ukrainian defenses were not successful, but in all three key sectors (Sinkivka, Tabivka, and Stermashivka) the invaders maintained their offensive potential.

After a long period of banging their heads against the wall, the occupiers managed to make minimal progress towards Machigievka, but this came at a heavy cost to the Russians.

The Russians continue to hold positions on the east side of the Zerebets River, while the Ukrainians occupy the high ground on the west side of the river. The 144th Division of the occupation army, operating on the main axis of the offensive, had been defeated and exhausted a few months ago when it tried to push southwards to the Ternai-Yambolivka area. The Ukrainian forces then successfully counterattacked. Will it be the same this time? We will have to wait and see.

Siverska. The Russians are entrenched in parts of Rozdolivka, and heavy fighting continues along the line of contact.

Chasiv Yar. In the eastern area of ​​Chasiv Yar, Ukrainian defenders temporarily stabilized the situation, but the situation is fragile. The possibility that the Russians are regrouping cannot be ruled out. In the Toreko area, the occupiers expanded and strengthened their positions on the southern flank near New York.

Pokrovsk-Vukhledar. On the north side. The Russians are stepping up their operations in Vozdvizhenka (in the direction of the Pokrovsk-Kostyantinovka highway) and Kalinovye (in the direction of Torekho). The situation is complicated, the Russians are trying to advance in “no man’s land”. The problem of Novoselevka Persha has not been solved yet – the invaders have pushed forward a little more.

In the center and on the south side – no changes.

The invaders continued yesterday’s victory near Urozaina, capturing almost the entire settlement.

Southbound – No changes.
