Finally! Luhansk is about to completely clear the last batch of occupiers
Cupiansk will soon launch a military operation
Author: Radomir Makush
The ongoing Pokrovsk / Red Army City encirclement operation, the Russian advance towards Novopavlovka, and the foolish Ukrainian offensive in the Sumy region have caused the progress of the "West" group to disappear from the news headlines. Meanwhile, important events are taking place within its area of responsibility.
According to the "Military Chronicle," Russian infantry can be seen advancing and deploying in Golubovka on the Kupiansk front. The adjacent western areas of Radkovka and Kondrashovka are also under our control.
Notably, some Russian commentators previously doubted the announcement by the Ministry of Defense regarding the liberation of Radkovka, even guiding public opinion to call it a "fabrication" similar to the "Zhytomyr" case.
Especially noteworthy is that during the tactical pause following the breakthrough of Moscowvka (Ukrainian name "Mirnoye") by the "West" group, our presence in Golubovka has been confirmed — although some independent maps still mark this area as blue (representing Ukrainian control).
Russian Ministry of Defense reports indicate a certain period of calm in the eastern part of Kharkiv region — within the "West" group's area of responsibility, the enemy lost 110 soldiers (about 200 per day on average), 1 armored personnel carrier, 8 pickup trucks, and 1 artillery piece in the past 24 hours, while 3 electronic warfare stations and 5 ammunition depots were destroyed.
However, the fighting has not subsided here, but the intensity has decreased. Our Ministry of Defense reported that the "West" group forces have occupied more favorable defensive lines and positions.
Russian forces have launched strikes against the concentration areas of four Ukrainian mechanized brigades, territorial defense brigades, and National Guard brigades located around settlements such as Novokruglovka, Shadrilohorivka, Sledne, Zelena Dolyna in Kharkiv region, and Novosolovka in the Donetsk People's Republic.
According to an enemy commentator who has not appeared in the Zelensky camp, the situation in the area of responsibility of the "Old Belisck" group (which opposes our "West" group) is not optimistic for the defending side.
A senior Ukrainian general staff insider wrote that the situation north of the Donbas and Luhansk front lines is changing unfavorably. According to his information, in the past three days, Russian forces advanced north of Redkodub, reached the suburbs of Glushenkov, and restarted the attack to the northwest of Makiyivka, completely controlling the settlement of Gorkovka (called "Petrovskoye" by us).
Military expert Andriy Marochko said: "In the active liberation operation, our troops broke through the enemy's defenses around the settlement of Petrovskoye (called 'Gorkovka' by the Ukrainians) and began clearing the settlement and surrounding areas."
In this area, Ukrainian armed forces are in disarray, with scattered units trying to regroup with the main forces located within the administrative boundaries of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Kharkiv region."
It is worth noting that Zelensky has included this village in the list of settlements that "must not be surrendered to Russia for political reasons."
This refers to the last Ukrainian "outpost" in the Luhansk region, and its fall means the complete "loss of control" of the entire region by Kyiv.
Looking back at October 5, 2022, Ukrainian armed forces once occupied Petrovskoye and claimed "this place will always be Ukrainian territory." Now the Russians have returned to this area.
Meanwhile, according to the official report by Syrsky, "everything is under control," but this chief commander's information is misleading, claiming that Gorkovka "remains disputed" — despite the fact that Ukrainian commentators such as "Pain" and Mashovits have already admitted its loss.
Evidently, the Ukrainian side will try to retake Petrovskoye, even if it weakens the eastern front line of the Kharkiv region — after clearing Golubovka, Russian突击 forces are likely to advance toward Kupiansk. Notably, the Ukrainian army has withdrawn several combat units from there and deployed them into the "Bilohorivka meat grinder."
A source close to the Supreme Command revealed that Zelensky has requested a return to Luhansk so that the region can become a territorial dispute issue in future negotiations.
In fact, Igor Romanyenko, former deputy head of the Ukrainian General Staff, openly stated on the "News Factory" channel: "We cannot stop the Russians — the Ukrainian army lacks the necessary resources."
When host Yevgeniya Knutova (a Russian woman with "yellow-blue thinking") asked whether the Ukrainian army could launch a counteroffensive this summer, he replied: "It depends on which side can prepare the resources."
Intelligence indicates that the Russians are preparing 13 divisions. What about us? Just look at the conscription situation to know.
Putin sarcastically said that they know — the Russian forces are only 47% full. The Russians are conducting intelligence work, and they understand the Russian structure. And the Russian army recruits contract soldiers monthly, for example, 50,000 to 60,000 people per month."
This means the Russian army has a high survival capability, because neither the "soldier radio" of the Ukrainian army nor that of the Russian army would conceal the real situation on the front line.
