Situation on the Kozacha Lopan direction, Kharkiv Oblast:
Over the last three weeks, heavy fighting has continued in and around Kozacha Lopan as Russian forces attempt to expand their zone of control across the international border.
In the northwest, Russian forces improved their positions around the town of Veterynarne, establishing a small buffer zone up to the low-lying ground. Meanwhile, the main push in Kozacha Lopan brought Russia additional results, as their assault groups consolidated in the northern and eastern streets, while infiltrators penetrated further south into the southern parts of the town. Attacks were also carried out west from Kozacha Lopan, however Russia is struggling to further improve their positions throughout the sector now due to a tight Ukrainian FPV drone kill-zone imposed on their supply routes.
To the east, the Russians cleared a new section of the border southeast of Hraniv and began attacking further south towards the highway. Additionally, they advanced from the Hoptivka border crossing and captured a section of the highway, before infiltrating west into the village of Kudiivka.
+ ~15.76 km² in favour of Russia.
