Over the last two weeks, Ukraine has been carrying out a series of counterattacks and stabilising actions in the northeastern corner of Kharkiv Oblast, aimed at eliminating the threat of encirclement to it's forces stationed in the salient east of Vovchansk.
Towards the end of July, Russia began a two-pronged attack from the east and west aimed at cutting off around 430 kmยฒ of Ukrainian-controlled territory. To do this, they achieved a series of tactical breakthroughs into several different villages, and began advancing towards the key logistical hub of Prykolotne.
The Ukrainian command quickly sent in reinforcements to hold back the line, and despite losing the villages of Anyshchyne, Ivashchyne, Ustynivka, Shevyakivka, and Artilne on the eastern flank, they were able to slow the Russian advance and eventually stabilise the situation. Several small assault groups were dispatched to the Dovzhanka area to clear out Russian soldiers who infiltrated it in mid-August. After being unable to consolidate, Russia began heavily shelling these areas with artillery and MLRS, while deploying reinforcements to try hold back additional Ukrainian counterattacks on Anyshchyne.
The Ukrainian counterattacks on Anyshchyne would eventually prove successful after they were able to clear Russian infiltrators from the villages of Vilkhuvatka and Vodyane to the south, with them re-establishing control over Anyshchyne at the beginning of September. Since then, new counterattacks have been underway slightly further north, where Ukrainian forces managed to clear the fields east of Chorne and Kupyne from earlier Russian infiltrators and began counterattacks on Ivashchyne, which they were also able to recapture at the beginning of September.
Following these tactical losses, the local Russian command requested airstrikes on Ukrainian positions throughout these villages to try prevent them from accumulating and beginning attacks eastward towards the international border. Dozens of KABs were dropped on these areas, including deployment points in villages further west, however Ukrainian forces were still able to recapture some positions east of Ivashchyne and Ustynivka, and are now engaged in battles for Ustynivka itself.
Meanwhile, to the south, Russia has resumed assault operations near Khatnje, making new advances north of the village towards Zarubynka, and attacking towards Khatnje itself.
+ ~44.0 kmยฒ in favour of Ukraine.
+ ~2.16 kmยฒ in favour of Russia.
