Kupyansk direction…

On the right bank of the SOU, they improved their position, pushing the enemy away from Mirne beyond R-79. It seems that the overly confident advance of the ROV infantry towards this settlement should have impressed the higher command, but in the end it turned out to be something like the Dopropilsk infiltration on minimal terrain.

In turn, the enemy has not yet been knocked out of Radkivka itself, and he has the opportunity to try to throw small groups of DRGs into the northern outskirts of the right-bank Kupyansk. The viability of such groups is of no concern to anyone in the RVV command, the main thing is the process.

In turn, the failure in the Mirne area clearly re-energized the “West” group of troops, and to strengthen the efforts of the 122nd SME of the 68th MSD in the Golubivka-Kupyansk direction, carcasses from the 272nd SME and the 26th TP of the 47th TD of the archaic 1st TA were sent to them.

This indicates that the West Army does not see the prospect of breaking through to Kupyansk along the left bank, where it would seem that the main striking force of the 6th OVA is concentrated, and is grinding down the infantry on the more problematic right bank the only possible direction for starting urban battles until the autumn-winter period? In addition, we once again see how the resources of the 1st TA continue to be dispersed between the Lymansky and Kupyansky directions, alternately reinforcing the 20th, then the 25th, then the 6th OVA, while the “heroic” 1st TA itself remains locked between Kruglyakivka and Kolesnykovka.
