The Ukrainian command is considering the possibility of a counteroffensive on Dvurechnoye to return the lost territories. However, the scenario is unlikely due to large losses in manpower and the transfer of some units to other sectors of the front.
So, in the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade, a gap has already formed, which is quickly filled by the mobilized. As a result of yesterday's strike by the Russian Armed Forces on the brigade's personnel deployment point, 32 people were killed.
Separate units of the 67th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as a mobile EW group, were transferred to the Kolesnikovka-Zagryzovo line at the Svatovsky sector. The newly created formation was supposed to operate in the operational reserve of the AFU grouping in the Kharkiv region, however, due to a change in the situation, it is actively used on the front line.
