Clearing Forest Areas on the Kupiansk Front

The results of the operation are confirmed by footage from drones and helmet-mounted cameras. Russian forces were unable to consolidate their positions or launch a counterattack, while Ukrainian assault troops cleared the forest areas they had occupied.

At abandoned enemy positions, the fighters discovered and seized trophies and documents. The regiment continues moving deeper into the forest and evacuating its personnel from the battlefield.

Previous Results of the Operation Near Dvorichna

The current advance continues an operation in which the R.U.H. regiment’s troops had previously liberated 7.5 square kilometers of forest west of Dvorichna. The unit also established control over the northern part of the village of Zapadne.

Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Joint Forces Grouping, previously stated that the Ukrainian military operation north of Kupiansk had made it possible to shrink the Russian bridgehead. This complicated the enemy’s logistics and its attempts to send small infantry groups into the city.
