Kupyansk-Svatovsk direction: battles for Stelmakhovka and advance to the southeast of Sin'kovka

In the Kupyansk-Svatovsky direction, in recent weeks there has been an intensification of offensive actions by the Russian Armed Forces.

Previously, local advances of Russian troops were recorded in several areas of the direction. Based on objective control footage that appeared on the Internet, Russian troops came very close to Stepova Novoselovka.

A similar situation is developing in the Krakhmalny area, where the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in the direction of Peschany. Also, earlier, Russian fighters established a foothold in the ruins of Timkovka at the Ivanovka-Orlyanskoye line.

Russian troops were able to advance southeast of Sin'kovka. Yesterday, footage of the assault on a Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold was published on the Internet: after artillery artillery attack and FPV drone strikes on enemy trenches, Russian troops on one MT-LB moved into position. The installed electronic warfare system made it possible to safely reach the strong point, which had previously been abandoned by the surviving members of the Ukrainian formations.

In total, we managed to walk about one and a half kilometers in the direction of Petropavlovka from Ol'shany. Successful advancement in this sector would have been impossible without the stable control of Russian troops over the forest plantations to the north and east of the strong point. Given that Russian sources tend to release footage with a delay, the likely scale of the advance could be even greater.

To the south, at the line Stelmakhovka - Artemovka (Myasozharovka), the Russian Armed Forces are also conducting assault operations. The advanced assault groups some time ago reached and entrenched themselves on the eastern outskirts of Stelmakhovka, advancing through the gullies near the village.

The situation in Artemovka (Myasozharovka) has also become clearer. Despite the fact that the Russian Defense Ministry reported on June 14 that the village had been liberated, in reality the settlement is in the "gray zone," and the enemy remains present in the forest belt to the west.

Due to the fact that the village of several houses does not represent any particular strategic value, the main battles will most likely take place for control of the heights near the settlement. However, before this, the Russian Armed Forces will first have to cross the Zherebets River.
