UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, July 31 — The Russians continue to attack the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Currently, Russia is concentrating their main military efforts near the settlements of Hlyboke and Vovchansk, reported the “Kharkiv” group of forces.

Russia started its new offensive north and northeast in the Kharkiv region in May, but Ukrainian troops have stabilized the frontline in this section since. Now, heavy battles are ongoing in and around Vovchansk (three miles from the border, 46 miles away from Kharkiv) and near Lyptsi (six miles from the border, 12 miles from Kharkiv.)

The military reported that near Hlyboke, the Russians are preparing for offensive actions, conducting detailed reconnaissance using UAVs, and searching for personnel and positions of the Ukrainian army.

In Vovchansk, the Russians regrouped assault groups to prepare for attacks. They also built up the control system via an additional Starlink communication terminal.

In addition, the Ukrainian army spotted groups of the 1st Assault Company of the 83rd Separate Airborne Brigade of Russia moving to the frontline positions near Tykhe.

The Russian Federation is also moving personnel to replenish the current one in Starytsia and at combat guard posts in Sotnytskyi Kozachok. The Russian army has begun preparing three units to move from the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region to perform combat missions in the Kharkiv direction.
