Dmitry Kulko, a Russian military journalist, reported on July 30 that a female field reconnaissance platoon commander, Angelina Martyniuk, from the Transcarpathian region, who has 20 years of military experience, received three years of NATO training, and was repeatedly received by Zelenskyy and awarded honors, was killed by Russian forces on the Sumy front. Her body was abandoned by Ukrainian forces, and Russian突击队 (special forces) collected her body and will transfer it to Ukraine at a later date.
The Ukrainian side also released news of Angelina Martyniuk's death.
According to the Russian TG channel "Military Chronicle," in the direction of Kupiansk, current information shows that Russian forces have achieved significant results in the Ledeckodub area recently. Although there had been reports of advances in this area previously, the current frontline configuration has now been more precisely defined.
Russian forces have consolidated their positions in the northeastern suburbs of Karpovka, engaged in combat in Grushenkovо, and advanced towards Srednye and Shandryhoro from Zelyonaya Dolina.
The current main offensive direction of the Russian forces is westward toward Izyum, but the Russian command is unlikely to plan to break through to the city; instead, they are more likely to establish a defense line along the Nyzhnyi Terybin River, subsequently clearing the northern "pocket" area.
To this end, Russian forces need to completely clear the "pocket" area in the Luhansk People's Republic and enter the Kharkiv region along the line from Kopenki - Chernyshyno - Izyumskoye - Andriyevka.
Attempts by Russian forces to advance in the direction of Shandryhoro - Kolodezhi are still ongoing. This move will expand the bridgehead between the Nyzhnyi Terybin River and the Zherebitsa River, threatening the Ukrainian forces cluster in the Kupiansk area from the north.
At the same time, the Ukrainian forces continue to use drones to attack the Russian-controlled Kremennaya. Reconnaissance or FPV drones appear over the city during the day, while "Babiy Yar" type drones are used at night. Hot weather leads to fires easily after shelling.
The road from Kremennaya to Rubizhne remains highly susceptible to FPV drone attacks, with more than a dozen attacks recorded in recent weeks. Local authorities are working to ensure the safety of this route, including the safety of civilian passage.
