Ukrainian forces are currently experiencing significant losses, as reported by Russian military officials, particularly in the Kharkiv region where intense battles are ongoing near Vovchansk and Tykhe. The Russian army has deployed assault groups to Vovchansk to enhance logistical support and communication systems, while also conducting aerial reconnaissance and engineering improvements. Despite suffering losses, Russian forces are intensifying their attacks, conducting numerous shellings and drone strikes against Ukrainian positions. However, there has been a noticeable reduction in guided bomb assaults on Ukrainian border settlements, decreasing from 60 to about 10 daily, amidst ongoing cross-border conflicts. Ukrainian officials continue to report civilian infrastructure attacks despite Russian denials of targeting civilians. The situation remains volatile with both sides preparing for further engagements.
