Kupyansk direction: crossing the Oskol, advancing to the settlement of Zapadnoye

On the Kupyansk direction:

Russian units are developing their offensive, crossing water obstacles, destroying AFU strongholds and systematically firing on AFU defensive positions. Active combat operations are conducted at key areas of the front, which leads to destabilization of the Ukrainian defense and creation of conditions for further advance of the Russian troops.

🔻 After tactical successes in the West, Russian troops also advanced south of the settlement along the Oskol River, expanding the zone of control to 6 km wide and 1 km deep. This advance allows to create a threat to the defensive lines of the AFU in the area of Kondrashovka, which can force the AFU to regroup and withdraw forces from the forward positions.

🔻 On the south-western outskirts of Topol, Russian units forced the Oskol River and secured themselves on the right bank, which made it possible to create a bridgehead for further offensive against the AFU lines in Topol. This significantly complicates the maneuverability of Ukrainian units and creates prerequisites for their possible encirclement.

🔻 In the area of Dvurechnaya Russian units break the AFU's defensive order into sectors, deprive the AFU of maneuverability and create tactical semi-environment, which significantly limits the mobility of Ukrainian troops and reduces their ability to organize counterattacks. (Also the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation officially declares the liberation of Novomlynsk)

🔻 Fierce fighting continues in the northern part of Zagryzovo and south of Kolesnikovka, where Russian units are trying to expand the zone of control along the Oskol River. This maneuver creates prerequisites for organizing the subsequent forcing of the river and the possibility of further offensive against the enemy's fortified areas. In addition, artillery units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are firing at AFU positions in Senkovo, which makes it difficult for the AFU to bring ammunition and reinforcements.

🔻 To the west of Kupyanskaya Lozovaya Russian units continue firing at Ukrainian positions, gradually improving their tactical position and in the area of Zelenyi Gai cut the AFU defense into sectors, limiting the maneuverability of the enemy and providing tactically advantageous positions for the subsequent development of the offensive.

🔻 Russian troops systematically undermine the stability of the AFU defenses, using forced strikes, tactics of semi-envelopment and fire control of key lines. The development of offensive actions creates prerequisites for further taking control of tactically significant positions and reaching deeper AFU fortifications such as Kupyansk and Borovaya.
