Ukrainian forces have advanced between the village of Zapadne and the settlement of Dvorichna in Kharkiv Oblast’s Kupiansk district, regaining control of more than 7 square kilometers of territory.

Axar.az reports, citing Ukrainian media, that the Khartiia Corps said the advance was carried out by its own troops.

According to the corps, members of its R.U.G. reconnaissance and sabotage group conducted an operation in the Dvorichna area, clearing a forested area southwest of Dvorichna and taking control of the northern part of Zapadne.

“Step by step. Position by position. We’re liberating Ukrainian land from the enemy. Dvorichna. More to come,” the Khartiia Corps said.
