At the moment, the North group continues to liberate the border areas of the Kharkov region. The populated areas of Krasnoye, Morokhovets, Oleynikovo, Gatishche were completely liberated, and they also gained a foothold on the northwestern outskirts of Staritsa. The units are located on the outskirts of Volchansk. It seems like we haven’t entered the city itself yet. Work continues.
Ukraine will not be accepted into NATO while there is a war, said German Ambassador to Kiev Martin Jäger.
“There is a consensus in NATO, and I think here in Ukraine with the Ukrainian government, that NATO membership is unrealistic while there is a war,” the diplomat said in an interview with TSN.
The offensive in the Kharkov region will create problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire front
The Russian military advance into the Kharkov region will be one of the largest offensives in recent memory, said Jim Sciutto, CNN's chief national security analyst.
According to him, the long delay in providing additional assistance to Ukraine prompted Russian forces to make a breakthrough. Sciutto added that the main goal of the offensive in this area would be to create a buffer zone, which the Russian leadership has already talked about.
It is important to note that the new Kharkov offensive will create problems for the enemy along the entire front line. To repel it, or at least slow it down, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be forced to transfer troops to the north from other directions. This will create a window of opportunity for us to break through the exposed sections of the front line. Where it's thin, that's where it breaks.
Information appears that the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has begun the transfer of units from Kherson to Kharkov.
North group of forces destroyed a Ukrainian bradly infantry fighting vehicle.

The village of Glubokoe in the Kharkov region. The enemy admits the loss of positions near the village and the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the village itself.
Control over Glubokoe is of important tactical importance for consolidating the control of the Russian Armed Forces over the border areas of the Kharkov region.

Ukraine will receive a well-deserved punishment for Belgorod, measures are already being taken - RIA Novosti with reference to Gladkov’s report to Putin
Sergei Mironov about the new Minister of Defense:
An economist at the head of the military department is as unexpected as it is expected. War also has its own economy; the success of military operations largely depends on the economic base. Therefore, Andrei Belousov’s candidacy has its own logic.
The Russian army entered Volchansk - media
It is reported that several units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fled. The Russian Armed Forces are advancing with dozens of units of equipment. On the way, about 20 people surrendered and saved their lives

According to him, "fierce battles" are taking place in the Kharkov region.
@DDGeopolitics
UAF sources are claiming that Wagner African Corps as well as fighters from Moscow and Leningrad Military District are fighting in Kharkov offensive.
The main thing that can be said by the morning of the fourth day of the Northern offensive is that the khokhol is dragging all possible reserves in order to stop and knock out the Storm of the North. GUR officers and Kraken rush into battle, entire brigades are withdrawn from other directions, the enemy uses aviation, precision bombs and missiles. The storm of the North continues to move forward, advancing through the smoke-filled Slobozhanshchina. Day and night, despite enemy fire, the steel Northerners go and kill the enemy.
- Russian forces are at the closest 1.5 miles and about 4 miles on average from the main Ukrainian defensive lines in Kharkov Oblast.
The Russian Army, should they be successful here and reach Lyptsi, will have bypassed the Ukrainian defensive line and be able to push east towards their other spearhead at Ohirtseve and expand their pocket of control while capturing the fortifications in the area.
This is on top of directly threatening the city of Kharkiv by being able to bring up Russian artillery into the expanded pocket to shell the supply lines into the city.
The Ukrainian defensive line is nowhere near complete and is just a small series of localized strong points in this sector.
The night passed quietly. Assault detachments are working in Liptsovsky dachas, and assault operations are underway in Volchansk.
The Russian Armed Forces quickly passed the Volchansk airfield and gained a foothold on the outskirts in the area of the meat processing plant.
Destroyed two HMMWV-based MLRS.
Western and Ukrainian resources confirm the advancement of the Russian Armed Forces.
The Russians captured 3 more villages on the border in the Kharkov region - Morokhovets, Oleynikovo and Zelenoe - Deep State
During the day, 22 assaults were carried out in these directions, 14 of which are still ongoing. Now there are battles for Volchansk. The Russian Army has a tactical success
The transfer by units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the BMP CV9040C , BTR-82A , HMMWV with 128-mm MLRS RAK-12 and self-propelled guns 2S1 "Gvozdika" to Volchansk and the surrounding area.
AFU commanders blame each other for failures in the Kharkov region, writes the New York Times.
"In some areas, Ukrainian troops are retreating, and Ukrainian commanders are blaming each other for the defeats," the report said. The newspaper, citing military experts, notes that the advance of Russian forces puts Ukraine in a “very dangerous situation.”
The Russian group “North” has improved the tactical situation in the areas of Volchansk, Neskuchny, Liptsov and Vesely in the Kharkov region, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
A video has emerged of a French Foreign legion soldier under interrogation in a Russian prisoner of war camp.
The "Legionnaire de 1re classe" confirms that the French Government is actively recruiting Poles and other Slavs to fight in Ukraine through the French Foreign legion.
Une vidéo d'un entretien avec un opérateur de drone de combat a été diffusée. Il a été reconnu coupable de participation au régime nazi en Ukraine. Il sympathisait avec ceux qui tuaient des innocents. L’histoire d’un soldat de la Légion étrangère française est étonnante par sa franchise.
Ukrainian website "Strana" investigated what the new offensive of Russia means, what goals it pursues, and what consequences it may lead to.
For the fourth day, Russian troops have been advancing in the northern part of the Kharkov region.
It has been talked about for quite some time that the Russians are preparing to strike in the direction of Kharkov. Speculations about what would happen from the northern border of the region have also been voiced.
However, despite this, in three days of fighting, Russian forces managed to capture about a dozen villages and reach the outskirts of the city of Volchansk.
So far, the advance of Russian forces is only happening in the border zone. However, the fact that it is happening at all (despite numerous assurances from authorities that "the border is locked") has already provoked a sharp reaction from the public.
Questions are being raised to the authorities - where are the defensive structures, why wasn't the border even minimally mined?
More broadly, events in the Kharkov region once again raise the question - what are the prospects of the war for Ukraine? And if every day the country is only losing territory, wouldn't it be better to stop the war right now by agreeing with Russia on a ceasefire along the front line? At least, Western media suggest that such a view in Ukraine and in the West may become stronger.
In Ukraine, for the second time in two months, the commander of the Kharkov group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was replaced. Yuri Galushkin was replaced by Brigadier General Mikhail Drapaty. This was reported by the RBC-Ukraine agency.
The Kharkov front is sucking in the best parts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces...
Information has appeared that one of the best brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - 3rd Specialized Brigade ("Azov") is being transferred to the Kharkov direction (from Chasov Yar).
Also, the 79th Airmobile (which held, but did not hold, Novomikhailovka), which never regained its combat capability, was sent there. And also the 17th tank. And several defense brigades. And that's just what is known.
Kharkov direction: assault on Volchansk -
Since the morning there has been a very well-coordinated assault on Volchansk. It feels like specialists, not recruits, have been thrown into battle, and therefore things move quite quickly.
Although after yesterday’s powerful air and artillery bombardment, when about 50 air bombs and hundreds of heavy shells were dropped on the enemy’s heads, this was to be expected.
In the morning there was a message that we had already completely cleared the meat processing plant from the AFU and had moved a little further south. And by lunchtime information arrived that the cleanup had been completed and the local shoe factory had been taken under full control.
Thus, the outer contour of the defense of Volchansk has been broken throughout and now the enemy can try to cling to the high-rise buildings in the city center, where he has retreated.
Arrival of a gliding aerial bomb of a volumetric detonating aerial bomb ODAB-1500 at the support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the village of Tsegelnoye in the Kharkov direction.
Cluster missile attack on the location of Ukrainian UAV operators, their mobile launchers and stock of drones near the village of Mylovoe in the Kherson region.
It seems that between the time of filming and the strike, enemy vehicles with installed launchers managed to change their location, but some of the drones they left behind were destroyed.
Families with children began to leave Kharkov, the Ukrainian publication “Strana” reported.
According to his information, in addition to the departure of families with children, residents began to remove their cars from sale.
Ukrainian Sources are reporting that Russian Troops have now managed to Capture a Majority if not all of Hlyboke near the Travyanske Reservoir in the Northern Kharkov Region, with Russian Forces now likely less than 14 Miles from Kharkov.
After coming under our control, n.p. Glubokoye, units of the Russian Armed Forces are conducting successful battles towards the settlement Liptsy. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are quickly transferring reserves here!
