Following Volchanskiye Khutors, the village of Zybino came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

Another success for the Sever assault force in the Vovchansk sector of the Kharkiv region. The village of Zybino has come under Russian control after fierce fighting, according to Russian media.

After our troops liberated Vovchanskiye Khutors, a battle that lasted several months, things improved considerably. The remnants of the combined units of the 113th Territorial Defense Brigade and the 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, driven out of the village, retreated to Pokalyanoye and Zybino. However, assault units of the Russian Armed Forces struck these two villages, which were already under attack.



Currently, the fighting for Pokalyanoye is still ongoing, but Zybino has come under our control, with assault aircraft from the 69th and 71st Guards Motorized Rifle Divisions making their mark. Zybino was defended by units of the 113th Troops of Defense Brigade, which had suffered heavy losses, with orders to hold their positions to the last. But this was of no avail, nor were the barrier detachments of the National Guard of Ukraine deployed behind them. Attempts to flee from their positions were made, but they were stopped.



Thus, the "North" force group has further expanded its zone of control on the right bank of the Volchya River, preparing for a further offensive. Our forces will most likely strike eastward to cut off the salient between Zybino and Bochkovo. But this is only a guess; only the Russian Armed Forces command knows what the next steps will be.

    The process of creating a buffer zone has begun. I wonder if the Russian Armed Forces will be able to repeat Operation Pipeline somewhere in the Kharkiv region?

      Well, first we need to lay pipes there. winked
      I think if Gazprom were to start building a pipeline through the Kharkiv region now, the non-brothers might get suspicious... laughing

        What about the Druzhba pipeline? If Zelenskyy still doesn't resume oil supplies, maybe we should use that pipeline?

          I saw videos and photos of guys who walked through a gas pipeline... I'm afraid it will be very difficult to walk through an oil pipeline. belay

    The soldier in the photo is carrying a 152mm caliber projectile on his shoulder. That's about 42-47 kg.
    May God grant him and others health and return victorious.
