Kiev ordered the local administration of the settlements of Kupyansk and Liman to withdraw and immediately prepare to defend Kharkiv as Russian troops advanced six kilometers into Ukrainian defenses.
The Russians captured the settlement of Novoselevskoe after eight months of fighting and cleared the entire area east of the Zerebets River and NE of Torski.
Both are very important successes for the Russians. Especially in the area of Zerebets they occupied two dominant heights unifying their forces opening a way to Krasny Liman.
The Russians have the absolute initiative of the movements in the region, something that has worried Kiev a lot. The movements of the Ukrainians in Kharkiv show that the time of the Russian attack on the city is approaching.
The British have long reported the concentration of a very strong Russian force of around 120,000 troops in the Kremina area.
Russian advance 6 km deep towards Kupiansk and Liman
The Ukrainian General Staff in the morning report recognized the Russian advance in several sectors at once, in the Krasnolimansky direction west of the Dibrova settlement and east of Novosadovo.
Russian sources say that army units in three days have advanced six kilometers in the area of Kupyansk and Krasny Liman, which is many times the hundreds of meters of "recapture" of territory, which Kiev solemnly announced in the first weeks of the counteroffensive by its Armed Forces Ukrainian.
The forces of the "Center" group are fighting in the area, specifically the 228th Regiment of the 90th Division of the Central Military District, together with Chechen forces of Akhmat and elite Paratroopers.
They are evacuating and preparing for defense Liman-Kupiansk and Kharkiv!
Ukrainian formations suffer heavy losses near Kupiansk. The Ukrainian administration is trying to make up for the losses by mobilizing the residents of the city and surrounding settlements.
Meanwhile, in Kupyansk, Liman and even Kharkiv, local authorities are preparing cities for defense.
Officials and representatives of law enforcement agencies take all records out of the cities. Some of them burn them.
At the same time, local entrepreneurs are trying to take their businesses out of town, and more specifically their equipment and products.
Some of the major enterprises of the Kharkiv region have already moved to the western regions of Ukraine.
The first goal is to transfer defense industry enterprises or those that can be used for military purposes such as the Kharkov engineering plant, the Kharkov bearing plant, the Turboatom plant, the Kommunar plant that produced Neptune missiles, etc.
Kiev implicitly fully admits the imminent start of the attack not only on Kupyansk or Liman, but even on Kharkiv itself.
The Russians cleared the area east of the Zerebets River
Russian forces cleared a large area east of the Zherebets River.
The Russians captured after a battle with the Ukrainian forces a commanding hill on the right bank of the Zherebets River, which breached the Russian defense line on the western border of Lugansk.
Russian military sources say that " the situation for the Ukrainian Army on the border of Lugansk and the Kharkiv region is difficult because it has to constantly throw reserves into the battle to prevent the front from collapsing in the Zherebets River area
This river passes through the front-line settlements of Makeevka (located in Lugansk), Nevskoye, Terny, Torskoye, and feeds the Seversky Donets River in the north of Donetsk.
One hill allowed Ukrainian forces not only to monitor the left bank, which is under the control of Russian troops, but also to shell Russian positions.
The loss of control of at least two dominant heights (the Ukrainians later lost one more) from Kiev modifies the line of defense that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had constructed.
The Ukrainian Army immediately made a recapture attempt, but in the end lost a platoon and at least 4 armored vehicles, including two tanks.
The consolidation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the right bank of the Zherebets River may make it possible to intensify the offensive against Krasny Liman, lost in 2022, which is the northern "bastion" for Ukrainian forces on the Slavyansk-Kramatork axis.
Heavy fighting is also taking place in the forest area west and south-west of the city of Kremennaya.
There, units of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation advanced on the last day at a distance of one kilometer, taking control of several positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
