🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Situation on the Veliki Burluk & Bely Kolodyaz directions, Kharkov Oblast:

Over the last month, Russian forces continued their offensive operations in the salient in the northeastern corner of Kharkov Oblast, aimed at bringing this vast area under their control and beginning a wider push towards Veliki Burluk and Bely Kolodez. Most of their attacks in this sector are still in the phase of limited and sporadic infiltrations, with the actual advances being much smaller than what Russian sources claim. However, the zone of infiltration has been significantly expanded in several different areas.

In the western part of the salient, Ukrainian forces cleared the village of Volokhovskoe from earlier Russian infiltrations and recaptured the surrounding treeline positions. Russian forces have continued their attacks towards the village, and are expanded their assault operations further east. In this area, Russian forces continued infiltrating the villages of Zakharovka, Ivanovka, and Vasilovka, using the extensive built-up areas as cover for deep infiltrations all the way into Blagodatnoe. From this assault vector, individual Russian infiltrator groups pan outwards into to the adjacent tactical heights, occasionally entering the villages of Baksheivka, Buzovo, and Verovka.

In the northern part of the salient, Russian forces established control over a number of positions in the southern part of Okhrimovka and began infiltrating Malaya Volcha from the west, while simultaneously attacking from the forests to the north. As a result of these attacks, they were able to capture most of the village and are now using it to accumulate for infiltrations eastwards into Khripuny and Varvarovka, where they are attempting to consolidate in the former. Isolated infiltrations are also being recorded into the Nikolaevka area, as well as southeast down the gulley towards Reznikovo, where there are very few Ukrainian positions remaining due to the risk of encirclement.

In the northeastern part of the salient, the Russians crossed the international border at a new points, establishing control over a number of treelines and forested areas, and entering the villages of Loshakovo, Chernyakhov, and Khyzniakovo, supporting the ongoing infiltrations from the direction of Malaya Volcha. For the last couple of days, they have also been attempting to cross the border further southeast, towards Kreydyanka, where fighting is ongoing.

In the eastern part of the salient, following the the arrival of new reinforcements, Russian forces were able to reverse much of the earlier Ukrainian counterattacks, regaining control over the villages of Anishchino and Vodyanoe and re-entering Ivashchino. From this area, they split off into two main infiltration vectors. In one direction, Russian soldiers are infiltrating north, attempting to capture the villages of Shirokoye and Ozyornoe, before panning out towards the Rublenoe, Potikhonovo, Komisarovo, Grachyovka, and Kupino. Currently, the main focus appears to be on capturing Shyroke and Komisarove, which would cut off Ukrainian formations further east in the Rublene area.

The other attack vector is to the south, where Rusisan forces are infiltrating west from Olkhovatka into Dolzhanka and towards Slynevo and Gogino, with some isolated infiltrators even manaing to enter the first houses of Prikolotnoe. Other soldiers are attacking southeast from Olkhovatka into the villages of Dolgenkoe and Zarubinka, which is being supported by separate assaults westwards into the forests to the south, putting Ukrainian formations entrenched east of Olkhovatka at risk of encirclement.
