Ukrainian forces have liberated the village of Myrne near Kupiansk, removing a key Russian position used to control the approach road to the city, Suspilne and Deep State reported. 

Kupiansk is a key transport hub in eastern Kharkiv Oblast. Russian forces seized the city during the first days of their full-scale invasion in February 2022. Ukrainian troops recaptured it in September the same year during a rapid counteroffensive that liberated nearly the entire Russian-occupied part of the oblast, as well as parts of Donetsk Oblast’s northwest. Since then, Kupiansk has remained one of the primary directions of Russian offensive operations in northeastern Ukraine. Russian troops have slowly advanced to the north of the city over time, suffering heavy manpower losses. Ukrainian forces are now attempting to reverse those recent gains.

Suspilne reports that Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the “Dnipro” operational-strategic grouping of forces, confirmed on the evening of 30 August that Myrne had been freed from Russian control.

“As of now, Russians have been pushed out of Myrne. There’s no information on wounded or killed enemy troops. Our forces are advancing further,” he said.

Maps published by DeepState on 29 August had already shown that the Ukrainian Defense Forces had regained control over the village, located northwest of Kupiansk. The settlement had allowed Russian forces to observe and control the road leading directly into the city.

Russian forces launch new attacks after losing ground

On 31 August, the General Staff of Ukraine reported nine Russian attacks over the previous day targeting positions near Petropavlivka and Kupiansk. Militarnyi notes that Russian troops are concentrating combat-ready units north of Kupiansk, continuing to exert pressure on Ukrainian defenses.

Despite this, Ukrainian forces are holding their lines. Units from Ukraine’s 10th Army Corps, together with attached elements, recently repelled the first Russian mechanized assault in this direction in a long time.
