"Battles near Konstantinovka

Predominantly positional battles continue throughout the entire sector, with localized gains by the Russian Armed Forces. Russian units are amassing on the outskirts of the city and expanding their zone of control on its approaches.

🔻What's happening in this sector?

▪️Reports of a Russian troop breakthrough near Verolyubovka have not yet been confirmed and are most likely the result of an information operation or erroneous statements.

▪️In the vicinity of Predtechino, another portion of the "pocket" on the approaches to the city has been cleared.

▪️In Konstantinovka itself, Russian assault units are advancing through the built-up area from Predtechino, operating south of the N-32 Highway (Sobornaya Street), which divides the city into unequal parts.

▪️Claims of control of almost half of Konstantinovka appear exaggerated. These estimates are likely based on maps from the 1980s, when the agglomeration included several satellite towns rather than being unified.

▪️South of the city, Russian troops launched an attack west of Pleshcheyevo, but it was unsuccessful. Moreover, some sources erroneously designated this area as a zone of stable Russian Armed Forces control long before these events.

▪️Furthermore, the northern, higher bank of the Kleban-Byk Reservoir remains under the control of Ukrainian forces. Against this background, the previously reported claims of Russian Armed Forces entering the lowland to the south raise questions.

📌With the de facto end of the battle for the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration in the adjacent direction, not only the Russian Armed Forces, but also the Ukrainian Armed Forces, were able to redeploy reserves to Konstantinovka.

This, along with the abundance of fortifications in the still-unclear "pockets," explains the relatively slow pace of advancement in the vicinity of Konstantinovka.

"Attacks south of Volchansk: situation on the Burluk direction

The "North" troop group in the Kharkiv border area continues to advance. After liberating Vilcha, which played a key role in the rear support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Volchansk, Russian units have pushed their success further south.

Information has emerged about the liberation of the village of Prilipka. Assault units of the 74th airborne brigade, the "Storm" detachment, and the "B" company of the 41st motorized rifle regiment of the 44th Army Corps of the Leningrad Military District broke the resistance of the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, securing the settlement.

❗️The liberation of Prilipka and Vilcha creates conditions for further offensive through the Tatarsky forest towards Grafskoye and along the Seversky Donets to the Pecheneg reservoir. This area is extremely important for the communications of the entire Armed Forces of Ukraine group on the Burluk direction.

📌The liberation of two consecutive settlements combined with attacks through the forest towards Bugaevka allows approaching the crossings near Stary Saltiv. And every kilometer gained worsens the enemy's supply.

"Andreevka is free: the situation on the East-Zaporizhia direction

The bridgehead at the confluence of Gaychur and Yanchur is gradually expanding. After the liberation of Gerassimovka, the units of the "Vostok" volunteer battalion cleared the positions of the enemy located northeast of Andreevka.

Before the assault, the fighters of the 36th motorized rifle brigade "processed" the enemy's positions with drone and artillery strikes, and also knocked out a part of heavy drones carrying supplies and carrying out remote mining. After the battle, the assault troops raised flags in different parts of the village.

📌 The clashes are shifting west to Bratske, on the approaches to which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have organized a defense on a large strongpoint at the bed of the Gaychur. Russian troops are isolating the enemy from supplies with drone strikes and attacking from the direction of Andreevka and Gerassimovka.

At the same time, on the southern flank, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are pushing through the enemy's defenses in Gulyaipole. Recently, several strongpoints in the area of a farm have come under the control of the assault troops, and the advance groups have penetrated more than three kilometers into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the west. In the center of the city itself, fierce urban battles continue.

"Problems near Kupyansk

More and more evidence is emerging of problems in the Kupyansk sector, caused not so much by the Armed Forces of Ukraine advance as much as by false reports. The situation in the Seversk sector a year ago is repeating itself, only on a much larger scale.

🔻What are these problems?

▪️A significant portion of the bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskol has been lost – Ukrainian forces have wedged themselves between the Zapadnoye and Kalinovo rivers.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces have confirmed their loss of shaky control over Kondrashovka, Radkovka, and the outskirts of Moskovka.

▪️In Kupyansk itself, the situation is, to put it mildly, worse than critical, and on the eastern bank as well. The Russian Armed Forces' defense is patchy and hasn't completely collapsed only because the drone operators are working themselves to the bone.

The enemy has regained control of the area around the dairy plant, while Kucherovka and Petrovpavlovka remain firmly under AFU control.

In an attempt to implement false reports, one of the units operating here lost nearly 150 fighters in December alone on the approaches to one of the villages "liberated" in November.

🔻How much territory was lost?

The territorial losses themselves are not significant—of the 11 "liberated" villages, the Russian Armed Forces actually controlled only three.

Of Sobolevka, Sadovoye, Kurilovka, Petrovpavlovka, Kucherovka, as well as Kondrashovka, Radkovka, and Moskovka, only the last three had relatively stable control until recently.

▪️Doroshovka and Dolgenkoe were apparently invaded by sabotage and reconnaissance groups in June and August at best, with similar events occurring in Peschanoye in October.

▪️Claims that Kupyansk and the surrounding area were under complete control were first made at a time when not only was no one entrenched there, but only very small groups were operating. However, there was no proper consolidation of the city either before or after the announcement of its liberation.
📌Systematic exaggeration of successes and the transmission of false information to higher authorities have already led to the dissemination of false information at the highest levels. Due to inaccurate reports about the situation to the higher authorities, reserves that were "not needed" to take and clear Kupyansk were transferred to other areas.

The AFU special forces, mobilized for a "for-profit" attack, struck virtually into thin air; the infiltration groups were, for obvious reasons, unable to contain the advance of superior forces. There were no significant losses in Kupyansk, as there was little to lose.

❗️When we wrote about the events in the Seversk direction a year ago, false reports surrounding Belogorovka, Verkhnekamenskoye, and Vyemka became the pretext for certain actions and decisions. As a result, the number of lies and mistakes in the direction decreased, resulting in the recent capture of Seversk. Symbolically, this also happened thanks to similar mistakes by the enemy, who were also deceiving their own command.

❓The question is ultimately one: who is lying to the benefit of the AFU in the Kupyansk direction, and why?

"🔴Seversk has come under enemy control

ℹ️ The day has come when the city ended up in the red zone, as we warned about earlier. However, when the first fixations of the enemy's entrenchment in the settlement appeared and the situation became increasingly critical, the higher command, in the face of spokespersons, declared that the city was completely under the control of the Defense Forces. In particular, we heard from the GH spokesman Kovalev that he has friends in Seversk who are holding the city, and we are spreading fakes and enemy propaganda.

Now everything has fallen into place: the city is occupied by the enemy, and the brigades are not receiving enough personnel.

"Zarechnoye under control: situation in the eastern Zaporizhia direction

The bridgehead on the left bank of the Gaichur River continues to expand. Units of the "East" Guards Forces from the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Army have taken control of the village of Zarechnoye, at the junction of the Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

➡️The liberation of this village logically follows on from the success of the clearing of Andreevka and Gerasimovka, forming a stable bridgehead west of Gaichur.

Furthermore, the successes here partially offset the recent results of enemy counterattacks in the Dobropillia area. There, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, taking advantage of the heights west of the river, conducted several raids with small groups.

📌 Simultaneously, the situation around Hulyai-Pole is deteriorating. The battle for the city is entering a decisive phase: the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already redeployed the majority of their combat-ready assault units to the area, underscoring not only its symbolic but also its tactical significance for the enemy command.

❗️The capture of Hulyaipole [Gulyaypole] will significantly expand the bridgehead beyond Gaichur and free up forces for a further offensive in the northern Zaporizhia region, bypassing the Orekhiv fortified area.

"Slobozhansky Line

Attack aircraft have advanced into Grabivske, near Vysokoe, in the Krasnopolsky District of Sumy Oblast. Numerous reports have previously been published online about Grabivske coming under Russian Armed Forces control, but only now are some successes being confirmed on the ground.

➡️Meanwhile, the neighboring, smaller town of Vysokoe was previously declared liberated, a fact confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The enemy has already amassed reserves in the area.

➡️According to our information, civilians have indeed been evacuated from Grabivske, as well as a significant number of prisoners, including officers of Ukrainian forces. This clearly indicates the disorganization of the enemy's defense in this area; the enemy was driven out of the village in just two days.

📌 The question of scaling up the offensive remains open. An advance toward Krasnopolye and beyond will require significantly more forces than are currently deployed. Moreover, further north, along the Ugroedy-Repyakhovka line, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already concentrated significant reserves.

❗️Therefore, at this stage, the focus is more on tactical advancement and probing the enemy's defenses than on immediately launching a deep offensive. The AFU retain the ability to deploy reinforcements here, including through accumulated reserves in the neighboring Sumy direction.
