The Russians made marginal advances in the Kharkiv Region, but the Defense Forces are forcing the occupiers to switch to tactical defense.
This is stated in the analytical report of the Institute for the Study of War.
Kharkiv Region
Analysts say that Russian troops in the Kharkiv Region recently marginally advanced near Lyptsi and within the southeastern village of Hlyboke. The Russians are accumulating personnel near Hlyboke, using light vehicles to bring infantry close to the front line.
At the same time, units of the Russian 18th Motorized Rifle Division have switched to active defense on the Hlyboke-Lukyantsi line. Analysts believe that the Ukrainian Armed Forces probably slowed down the pace of the Russian advance and forced them to switch to tactical defense.
The occupiers also conducted assaults toward Zelene, located east of Lyptsi. In addition, the Russians advanced near Vovchansk.
Luhansk Region
The occupiers advanced near Kreminna and east of Torske. Russian milbloggers also claimed that Russians advanced near Berestove and east of Andriivka.
At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled Russian assaults in the vicinity of Synkivka, near Petropavlivka, near Stepova Novoselivka, near Novoyehorivka, Druzhelyubivka, Nevske, near Terny and Torske, in the area of Serebryansky forest and near Bilohorivka.
Donetsk Region
Russians made marginal advances east and southeast of Chasiv Yar and advanced south of Ivanivske and within the Kanal Microraion in the eastern part of Chasiv Yar.
Allegedly, units of the Russian 98th Airborne Division established new footholds on the southern and eastern outskirts of the Novyi neighborhood in Chasiv Yar.
It is also claimed that Russian troops have recently advanced northwest of Avdiivka and in the area of the administrative border of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
