Kupyansk direction: fighting in the Peschanoye area and new threats to the rear infrastructure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

- In the Kupyansk-Svatovsky direction, Russian troops continue their offensive west of Peschanoye with the goal of reaching the Oskol River. At the same time, on the northern face, the front is gradually approaching Kupyansk.

– In the Sin'kovka area, units of the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in the forest to the west of the settlement, where, if successful, they will be able to reach the outskirts of Petropavlovka, an important stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the eastern approaches to Kupyansk.

– To the south, Russian troops have improved their tactical position in the area of Kislovka and Stepova Novoselovka. The latter settlement was considered liberated for a long time, but footage of strikes on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in its vicinity published online indicates that the Russian Armed Forces have no physical control over it.

– At the same time, the village actually exists very conditionally – even before the start of the SVO, its population was no more than 20 people. The offensive in this area is supported by crews of TOS-1 Solntsepek flamethrower systems, inflicting significant losses on the enemy in manpower.

– West of Peschanoye, Russian troops are overcoming the Ukrainian Armed Forces defenses on the Kolesnikovka-Kruglyakovka line, driving a “wedge” deeper into the enemy’s ranks. Today, the assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces are less than four kilometers from the Oskol riverbed, access to which will allow physically cutting off the O-21-19-42 and R-79 highways.

- In this case, the Ukrainian Armed Forces group on the left bank will be "cut", which will complicate its supply. The Russian Armed Forces also carried out a series of attacks to expand the control zone: northwest of Tabayevka, the attack aircraft drove the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of several strongholds, and south of the village, they cleared the territory of Berestovoye.

– Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft regularly operate on targets in Kupyansk, hitting temporary deployment points and ammunition depots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Russian troops are also actively striking pontoon crossings – eight strikes on them have been recorded over the past three weeks.

– In order to maintain communication across the river, Ukrainian formations are creating sand embankments, which are also becoming targets for attacks by the Russian Armed Forces. Thus, three airstrikes have been carried out on two crossings in the area of Kupyansk and Kupyansk-Uzlovaya over the past four days.
