Russian forces are advancing in Kharkiv Oblast, employing a pincer movement to encircle Kupiansk.

Russian progress in Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast. The current strategy is to attack from both flanks and break through the center. The eastern and western flanks are advancing southward to encircle Vovchansk and cut off supply lines to the city.

The Russian objective of attacking Vovchansk is twofold: first, to divert Ukrainian forces; second, to launch an attack on Bolshoye Buruluk and establish a buffer zone. However, the main Russian forces are concentrated in Donetsk, and they have now expanded to Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye. Additionally, there are large numbers of Russian forces in Sumy Oblast in the north. Therefore, the number of Russian troops in Vovchansk is limited, and their advance is slow.
