Fierce battles continue in the Kharkiv direction, where Russian troops do not stop trying to break through the defenses of Ukrainian forces. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russians concentrated their efforts on several key areas of the front, in particular near Vovchansk, Starytsia, Lyptsi, and Zeleny.
According to the map of the Ukrainian public Deep State, the Russians advanced between Hlyboky and Lukyantsi to the south, in the direction of Liptsi. There, the "gray zone" came close to the outskirts of this village. Judging by the map, the enemy is moving along the Lypets River.
Ukrainian military expert Kostyantyn Mashovets estimates the advance towards Lyptsi at 1-1.2 km. "As far as I understand, the Russian command will consider the exit of its advanced units to the Liptsi-Vesele border as the end of the first stage of its offensive in this direction," Mashovets believes.
Vesele is located east of Liptsi, both villages are connected by a direct road.
To the west of Vovchansk, the Russians occupied new territories on the right bank of the Siversky Dinets, north of the recently captured Bugrovatka. The Russians say that the Russian Federation is attacking the village of Prylypka west of Vovchansk, trying to break through to the left bank of Dinets and approach the partial encirclement of Vovchansk.
Deep State does not record changes in Vovchansk itself. Russian publications write that the Armed Forces are introducing reserves to maintain the city.
On the Zaporozhye front, Russian troops, according to the public, advanced to the southeast and south of Rabotino (according to the German analyst Repke, the Russians have already captured this village) and near Verbovoy.
Near Avdiyivka, the Russian Federation seized new territories north of Netaylovy (west of Avdiivka and Donetsk), south of Ocheretiny and near Keramik.
Also, Russian troops advanced in the Berestovo region to the southeast of Kupyansk.
