Ugledar direction: battles in the Paraskovievka area and successes in the Ikryana gully area, the situation by the end of the day on June 4, 2024
– A few days after consolidating on the eastern outskirts of Paraskovievka, Russian troops are successfully moving forward simultaneously on several sectors of the front.
– To the northeast of Paraskovievka, assault groups occupied a forest belt, advancing up to 900 meters in depth and 350 meters along the front. This was confirmed by footage published by the enemy of ammunition being dropped from a UAV on Russian infantrymen near a Ukrainian tank destroyed a year ago, which made it possible to establish the exact area of ??the attack.
– In Paraskovievka itself, fierce fighting continues in the central and western parts of the village. Despite the video footage of a Russian tank traveling to the western outskirts that appeared on the Internet (which, by the way, got stuck in a crater left by an aerial bomb or shell), it is not yet possible to unequivocally state the complete control of the Russian Armed Forces over the populated area.
– To the south of Konstantinovka, Russian troops partially occupied the forest belt adjacent to the village, going up to one and a half kilometers in depth and about a kilometer along the front. A few hundred meters to the north, near the same forest plantation, one of the Ukrainian tanks was recently destroyed by an FPV drone strike.
– Considering that the northern end of the forest belt is adjacent to the private sector, we can assume that fighting will begin in the near future directly in the populated area.
– At the Sladkoe-Vodyanoe line, Russian troops carried out several attacks with armored vehicles north of the Ikryannaya gully in the direction of the T-05-24 highway leading to Ugledar, coming under fire from the enemy. The result of the battle is unclear, however, based on the available data, the Russian Armed Forces managed to advance at least a kilometer in a westerly direction.

10:37 The situation in Netaylovo-Karlovka is reported by Military Chronicle:
Where previously there was a deep rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the front line now passes. A former logistics hub with a convenient transport interchange, through which Avdievka was supplied several months ago, is now under the fire control of Russian troops.
Here, according to the Military Chronicle, the “mosquito logistics” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is working at full speed, but its current volumes are clearly not enough to help the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hold the front.
The Russian army will probably not rush to capture Karlovka - the village lies in a lowland, and the neighboring reservoir allows the Ukrainian Armed Forces to defend themselves for now.
The most active battles will begin at the moment when Karlovka is taken and cleared. The M-30 highway to Pokrovsk begins immediately behind it. This road goes “uphill” and you will have to get to it the same way as you once did to Kislovka and Kotlyarovka near Kupyansk.
