Russian forces are regrouping assault units to resume offensive operations near Kupiansk, Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Group of Troops (OSUV) said on Telegram on Feb. 3.
Russian forces launched unsuccessful attacks on Ukrainian positions near Petropavlivka, Pishchane, Stepova Novoselivka, and Zagryzove in the Kupiansk sector over the past day, Ukraine’s Khortytsia military command reported.
Russian assaults also failed near Novoyehorivka, Makiivka, Yampolivka, and in the Serebrianka forest in the Lyman sector, as well as near Bilohorivka and Ivano-Darivka in the Siversk sector.
Fighting continues in urban areas of Chasiv Yar and Toretsk.
In the Krymske area, Russian forces attempted to storm Ukrainian defenses but failed to alter the tactical situation.
In the Pokrovsk sector, Russian troops tried to use their numerical advantage to break through defenses near multiple settlements but were repelled.
Ukrainian forces destroyed three Russian vehicles attempting to transport personnel to the front line.
In the Novopavlivka sector, Russian assault groups attacked near Kostyantynopil, while near Velyka Novosilka, they attempted an armored offensive in two waves but were stopped after losing three tanks, three armored personnel carriers, and a buggy.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that Russian forces have advanced near Chasiv Yar, Velyka Novosilka, Kupiansk, Siversk, and along the Donetsk Railway near Kotlyne, a key link between Pokrovsk and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
