Ukrainian forces confirmed that a russian colonel killed in Kharkiv fighting was taken out while directing attacks near the border. The Operative-Strategic Group of Forces Khortytsia, a Ukrainian military command on the eastern front, said Col. Lebedev, commander of the 83rd motorized rifle regiment of the 69th motorized rifle division, died as he tried to push assaults forward in the Velykyi Burluk direction.

The Velykyi Burluk direction is the most recent Russian attempt to invade Kharkiv Oblast from across the northern border. After a limited breakthrough, Russian forces managed to hold a strip of ground only a few kilometers deep, just to the west of the Kupiansk front. They have been trying to expand that foothold and stretch Ukrainian defenses, but their advance has stalled from the start. A 15 July report by the Institute for the Study of War noted that Russian military bloggers claimed advances west and south of Milove and renewed attacks around Velykyi Burluk near Milove.

Russian colonel killed in Velykyi Burluk sector clashes

The Ukrainian command reported late on 26 July that defenders destroyed the officer who had led storming operations aimed at widening Russia’s small foothold west of the Kupiansk front. The command’s report mentions only the last name of the eliminated colonel, Lebedev.

Earlier, Oleksii Rozumnyi from the 13th brigade of the National Guard unit Hartiia said Russian forces are using these border attacks to pull Ukrainian reserves into the area. According to him, the occupiers have shifted tactics since the time of the Kursk offensive. They now focus more on logistics strikes and use drones equipped with fiber optics to hit deep, sometimes almost reaching Kharkiv city.

Escalating fighting east of Vovchansk

Reports also describe heavy clashes east of Vovchansk — a border town further west of Velykyi Burluk, where Russian troops have tried to break through Ukrainian defenses and move in the direction of Velykyi Burluk.
