Ukraine liberated over 6 sq. km of territory in Kharkiv: there are a lot of Russian c*rpses around
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Ukrainian defense forces have successfully regained control over a significant stretch of territory near the village of Zapad within the Kupiansk district of the Kharkiv region. According to Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) analysts and reports from the Deep State project, the military operation resulted in the liberation of approximately 6.14 square kilometers of land located outside populated settlements. This strategic advance occurred between the villages of Zapad and Dvorichna, effectively reducing the total area under Russian occupation by 6.27 square kilometers in this specific sector. While the northern part of Zapad has been secured, the village itself remains partially occupied or exists in a gray zone, whereas Dvorichna continues to be held by Russian forces.
The operation was executed with the involvement of the second core of the National Guard of Ukraine's charter, specifically the 23rd Assault Regiment REG, which cleared a section of the area southwest of Dvorichna and liberated a forest region near Zapad. Video footage released by the regiment documented these efforts, highlighting the dynamic nature of the frontline where Ukrainian units are actively pushing back enemy positions. Despite these gains, the situation remains fluid as Russian occupiers in the Kupiansk direction continue to advance in small groups, attempting to penetrate city buildings and maintain their presence. The liberation of over 7 square kilometers near Dvorichna, as cited by media sources referencing Deep State data, underscores the ongoing intensity of the conflict in this area.
In response to persistent Russian assaults, Ukrainian units are planning to reinforce their defensive lines with additional strike drones to repel further incursions. This tactical adjustment comes amidst reports that Russian troops are not abandoning their goal of establishing a so-called buffer zone in northern Ukraine, even after suffering significant losses. The enemy is reportedly preparing for new offensive operations while actively searching for weaknesses within the Ukrainian defense structure. Consequently, while the Ukrainian military has achieved notable territorial successes and cleared key areas like forests and northern sectors of villages, the overall security situation remains precarious as both sides continue to maneuver in a highly volatile environment.
