>Russia has moved four Regiments and elements of two more from northern to western Kharkiv since the beginning of July. This marks another shift away from the northern direction.
This transfer aims at reinforcing the successes near Kupyansk, whereas the Russian northern campaign has mostly fallen flat in the recent months.
>The area had been mostly quiet before the capture of Milove by the 83rd Motorized Rifle Regiment in early July. Since then Russia has been trying to advance towards Ambarne in the south and most recently the 7th and 79th Regiments captured Odradne further to the south.
