The Russian armed forces have taken control over the settlements of Bely Kolodez and Ustinovka in the Kharkov region, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
"Units of Battlegroup Sever have actively established control over the settlements of Bely Kolodez and Ustinovka in the Kharkov region," the ministry said in a statement.
Ukraine lost over 370 soldiers in combat against Russia's Battlegroup Vostok over the past day, in addition to losses in manpower and equipment on other fronts, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The gains demonstrate the continued tactical momentum of Russian forces along the front lines. The simultaneous neutralisation of significant Ukrainian personnel across multiple battlegroups, coupled with the extensive interception of drones and missiles, underscores Russia's capacity to sustain coordinated offensive and defensive operations.
Collectively, these actions reflect a deliberate strategy to erode Ukrainian military capabilities while consolidating control over key areas.
"The losses of the Ukrainian armed forces amounted to over 370 military personnel, two armored combat vehicles, 15 vehicles, three artillery pieces and an electronic warfare station," the ministry said.
This is in addition to over 155 Ukrainian soldiers eliminated over the past day by Russia's Battlegroup Sever, up to 345 by Battlegroup Tsentr, up to 210 by Battlegroup Zapad, up to 175 by Battlegroup Yug, and up to 40 by Battlegroup Dnepr, the ministry said.
Russian forces destroyed an unmanned boat of the armed forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea, the ministry added.
"Seven guided aerial bombs, five US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and 651 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by air defense systems," the ministry added.
