Ukrainian defense forces have regained control over an important territory near Lyptsi in Kharkiv region, significantly reducing Russian positions in the area
According to reliable sources from the analytical project DeepState on Telegram and confirmed by the National Guard Brigade "Hartiya," Ukrainian defenders carried out a large-scale and targeted operation, resulting in the return of over 200 hectares of land. This has become a significant event amid ongoing hostilities in the eastern part of the country, which have been continuing for more than half a year. According to a representative of "Hartiya" in a comment for the publication "Ukrainska Pravda," the operation lasted over a month and a half — approximately five and a half months of persistent offensive actions and strategic advances. During this extensive tactical campaign, Ukrainian military units managed to pull back from enemy positions and establish themselves in a forested area that was previously under occupation by the enemy. The success of this operation resulted in the liberation of a substantial part of land where fierce fighting had previously taken place. According to publicly available data, as a result of the operation, Ukrainian forces reduced the number of enemy troops in the area — approximately 1,500 Russian soldiers were killed or injured. Over 200 units of Russian weapons and about 175 pieces of military equipment were also destroyed, significantly undermining the enemy’s combat effectiveness and offensive capabilities in the region. These achievements are a strong indicator of the Ukrainian military’s success and demonstrate their ability to regain control over strategic frontline positions. It is noted that the breakthrough of Russian defenses and the capture of the initial bridgehead were achieved through the efforts of "Hartiya" units and the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade named after Hetman Ivan Sirko. These units displayed a high level of tactical skill and quick reaction capabilities, which yielded positive results not only tactically but also strategically — to strengthen Ukrainian control in the region and clear Kharkiv oblast of enemy forces. Ultimately, this operation marked a significant milestone in the broader counteroffensive campaign of the Ukrainian forces, contributing to reducing enemy presence in the eastern part of the country and bringing Ukraine closer to victory. At the same time, it inspires Ukrainian military personnel and civilians for further struggle and the recovery of peaceful life in the liberated areas.
