UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Dec 3 – In the Kupiansk direction, the Russians attacked Ukrainian troops near Dvorichna, Petropavlivka, Zelenyi Hai, Kolisnykivka, and Lozova. There were seven Russian attacks in one day, 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, the Russians attacked eight times in the areas of Vovchansk and Starytsia during the day. They also used aviation here.
Russia launched two missile strikes and 35 airstrikes, dropping 53 glide bombs (KABs) on positions of Ukrainian troops and on cities and villages in the Kharkiv region over the past day. Russians fired over 5,000 times at Ukrainian forces, including 141 times with multiple launch rocket systems.
