Russian forces seize Lozova and Petropavlivka in Kharkiv region

Kharkiv offensive Russian military advances Sever combat group Ukraine war Lozova seizure

Russian forces have expanded their control in the Kharkiv region, seizing the settlements of Lozova and Petropavlivka. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the 'Sever' combat group is tightening its encirclement of Ukrainian units in the northeast of the province and expanding its zone of control.

In addition to the gains in Kharkiv, Russian forces reportedly took control of the Marino settlement in the Sumy region. Combat operations are ongoing in several areas, including Hripuni, Nesternoe, Lukashovo, and Grachovka. Military experts note that the loss of Lozova complicates the Ukrainian defense at Prykolotne, potentially limiting the ability to establish relief corridors for surrounded troops.

The Russian Ministry of Defense also reported that its forces conducted strikes against Ukrainian transport, energy, and fuel infrastructure, as well as drone production facilities. While Russia claims Ukrainian losses reached approximately 1,515 soldiers in a 24-hour period, these figures have not been independently verified.
