UKRAINE, KHARKIV REGION, Mar. 4 — On Mar. 3, Russian troops attempted to break through the state border of Ukraine towards Zybyne and Kruhle villages north of Kharkiv region, reported the group of forces responsible for the frontline in Kharkiv region (Joint Forces Task Force).
They added that Ukraine attacked the groups of Russian assault forces in those areas.
Russians attack Kharkiv oblast from the north, east, and southeast, trying to move further into the region, increase the kill zone of their drones, and disrupt logistical routes used by Ukraine’s civilians and military.
Oleksandr Milosh, the spokesman for the group of forces, added that, in Velykyi Buluk direction, Russia continues to accumulate troops and equipment to renew assault operations.
“In the Kupiansk direction, Russians, without success, tried to break through our defences in the direction of Petropavlivka, Novoplatonivka, and Kurylivka,” Milosh added.
Earlier, Khartiia brigade, one of the military units in the Joint Forces Task Force, reported that Russia pulled its heavy equipment back from the zero line north of Kharkiv but is increasing the usage of various drones.
