Slobozhansky direction: reconnaissance in force in the north of the Kharkov region, situation as of 13.00 May 10, 2024

Due to the fact that in the Russian Telegram (at the suggestion of Ukrainian sources) jingoistic sentiments have already begun to disperse, it is necessary to talk about what is happening in the north of the Kharkov region: moreover, to speak in a balanced way, without running ahead of the locomotive and without echoing the various information dumps that rushed to write about the scale of promotion.

At night, the Sever group of troops and units stationed along the old Russian border began to launch massive attacks on planned targets using cannon and rocket artillery, mortars, and using the allocated aviation resource of the Russian Aerospace Forces in this area.

The purpose of fire destruction is to reduce the enemy’s defensive capabilities, as well as to destroy long-term firing points.

At the same time, advanced groups began clearing the front line. Due to the fact that previously Ukraine and Russia were a single space, in most places one settlement flows into another, and the border for a long time was very arbitrary. Therefore, military operations in the frontline zone began to be classified as a large-scale offensive - this is somewhat incorrect. It was about reconnaissance in force, which was carried out and carried out successfully.

If you look at the map, the battle zone has been expanded to a depth of 2-3 kilometers in some areas. It is too early to talk about the full transition of border villages under the control of the Russian army.

As a result of hostilities in the border area over the past year, the same settlement. Strelechya is a bare field. Until the fighting north of Kharkov approaches at least Liptsy, it is extremely premature to talk about the capture of villages and towns.

Therefore, combat operations in the border areas are primarily dashes through the ruins and strongholds of the enemy.

The accent on Volchansk is noticeable to the naked eye. Volchansk is one of the enemy’s main transshipment bases; logistics are being built through it east of the Seversky Donets. The city plays an important role in the defense of the northeast of the Kharkov region. Local authorities have already announced the start of evacuation from the locality.

They are working in Volchansk and the surrounding area, and they are working systematically: footage of the destruction of the bridge over the Volchya River has been published. The interfluve area is important for facilitating combat operations near Kupyansk and possible breaching of enemy defenses in the east of the Kharkov region.

Due to the fact that the North group of troops began the task of creating a buffer zone, an unprecedented revival began on the Internet, fueled not only by the enemy along the TsIPsO line, but also by Russian hype-eaters and jingoists. The enemy takes advantage of this: you can always declare the next village “virtually” taken by the Russians liberated by imprinting the Ukrainian flag there.

13:04 Statement by the head of the press center of the Vostok group -video.

Units of the Vostok group of troops continue to carry out combat missions in the special military operation zone.

During active operations, the group's units improved the position along the front line, repelled a counterattack by the assault group of the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade in the Staromayorsky area, and thwarted attempts by the enemy to reinforce forward positions in the areas of Makarovka, Ravnopol, Nikolsky, Ugledar and Gulyai-Polye.

Air strikes, artillery fire, and heavy flamethrower systems hit strongholds and gathering places of manpower and equipment of the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade and the 128th Territorial Defense Brigade in the Urozhainy and Makarovka regions.

Over the course of 24 hours, up to 175 enemy military personnel, two T-64 tanks, two American-made M113 armored personnel carriers, two 122mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mounts, an FH-70 towed howitzer, three units of automotive equipment and five ammunition supply points were destroyed.

12:23 Statement by the head of the press center of the “South” group -video.

Units of the “Southern” group of forces successfully repelled an attack by the assault group of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade in the Krasnoye area.

As a result of active actions, they occupied more advantageous positions and inflicted fire on the 23, 33 Mechanized, 79 Air Assault brigades, and 111 Territorial Defense brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of Elizavetovka, Novy and Pobeda.

The enemy in the Donetsk direction lost up to 215 military personnel wounded and killed.

Anti-tank guided missile systems and loitering ammunition hit two armored personnel carriers, including an M113, and two cars.

Avdeevsk direction: advance of the RF Armed Forces in Uman.

In recent days, in the Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops have been actively trying to develop successes in several sectors at once, including those that were covered for some time in the “fog of war.”

During the day, footage of the flag being hoisted over the memorial in the center of the northern part of Umansky appeared on the Internet. And already towards the end there were reports of the complete liberation of the village, although there is no reliable confirmation of this information yet.

At the same time, between Umansky and Orlovka, south of the S051801 highway, there is a fortified area about two kilometers long. Taking into account the configuration of the front line, it is highly likely that it also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces - without its capture, going to Umanskoye would have been quite a difficult task.

To the south, in Netailovo, a decrease in the concentration of enemy manpower was noticed - it is still difficult to say whether this is due to the lack of reinforcements or the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to the latest information, Russian troops are engaged in heavy fighting in the center of the village.

In the northern sector in the Arkhangelsk region, units of the Russian Armed Forces are strengthening their positions on previously occupied lines, continuing to clear the area to the west of the settlement. There were no attempts to counterattack the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the day.
