UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Oct 3 — Over the past day, Russian troops tried to attack the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces 11 times in the Kupiansk direction. The Russian military attacked near Synkivka, Kurylivka, Pishchane, Vyshneve, Petropavlivka, and Pershotravneve, reported the General Staff.
One of the main goals of the Russian full-scale war is to capture the remainder of occupied Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast; their operations on the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line are dedicated to that. From this section of the frontline, they also aim to push into Kharkiv Oblast and re-occupy Kupiansk and Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, important logistics hubs for the region.
In the Kharkiv direction, Russians attacked Ukrainian troops four times near Starytsia and Vovchansk.
On October 4, the “Kharkiv” group of forces reported that over the past day, the Russian army lost 59 troops in the Kharkiv direction, including one who surrendered.
