The Ukrainian Defense Forces have regained control of new areas of territory between Dvorichna and Zapadny in the Kharkiv region. According to the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Charter,” the military liberated another 4 km², while analysts at DeepState reported the clearing of 2 km² of forest and an advance near Zapadny.
Ukrainian forces are continuing offensive operations in the Kupiansk direction of the Kharkiv region. Soldiers from the 23rd Separate Assault Regiment of the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Charter” conducted an operation between Dvorichna and Zapadny. According to military sources, the units cleared new areas and continued their advance. In total, “Charter” reported the liberation of an additional 4 km² of Ukrainian territory.
What DeepState Reports
DeepState analysts updated the map of combat operations and highlighted changes near Zapadny. According to their data, Ukrainian assault troops continue to advance through the forest west of Dvorichna. During the operation, troops cleared another 2 km² of forest and drove Russian units out of their fortified positions. DeepState also reported that the Defense Forces have regained control in the Zapadnoye area.
Analysts released a video showing combat operations by the 23rd Separate Assault Regiment of the R.U.G. The footage shows Ukrainian troops clearing a forested area near Zapadnoye. At the same time, figures regarding the area of liberated territory vary depending on the source. DeepState cites 2 km² of cleared forest, while the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Charter” reported a total operation result of 4 km².
How the Operation Unfolded
Ukrainian troops operated in the area between Dvorichna and Zapadny. One of their objectives was to dislodge Russian units from their fortified positions and take control of the territory they had been occupying. According to DeepState, R.U.G. fighters cleared the area southwest of Dvorichna. Ukrainian troops also took control of the northern part of Zapadny.
In a specific sector, the assault troops operated alongside soldiers from the 35th Separate Marine Brigade. The units jointly cleared the area and continued their advance. This refers specifically to a localized operation in a specific sector of the front, not the complete liberation of the entire area.
Why the Dvorichna Area Is Important
Dvorichna and Zapadne are located in the Kupianskyi District of Kharkiv Oblast. This part of the region remains crucial for combat operations in eastern Ukraine. Russian troops are attempting to hold their positions in this area and put pressure on Ukrainian forces. For the Defense Forces, advancing in specific sectors allows them to push back the enemy and regain control of the territory.
The forested areas in this sector are also of military significance. They can be used to deploy personnel, set up shelters, and facilitate the covert movement of troops. That is why clearing even a few square kilometers can be a complex combat operation. Ukrainian troops must clear the territory, dislodge the enemy from their positions, and consolidate their hold on the captured areas.
What is known about further advances
The 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Charter” stated that troops are continuing combat operations in this direction. At the same time, details of the operation and the exact locations of units are not being disclosed for security reasons. DeepState, for its part, has updated its map and documented changes near Zapadny.
Thus, Ukrainian forces are achieving local successes in the area between Dvorichna and Zapadny. According to “Charter,” control over 4 km² of territory was regained during the operation, while DeepState reports that 2 km² of forested area has been cleared. Combat operations in the Kupiansk direction are ongoing, so the situation on the map may change. DeepState analysts and representatives of the 2nd Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard, “Charter,” reported on the new advances.
