Kharkov direction. Our troops continue their offensive. Over the past 24 hours and last night, the Russian Armed Forces advanced deep into the enemy’s defenses in three conventional directions. These are Liptsy, Veseloe and Volchansk. All three have operational success.

On Liptsovsk direction liberated: Strelechya, Pylnaya, Borisovka, Krasnoe, Oleynikovo, Morokhovets. The width of the offensive along the front was 20 kilometers, the advance in depth was up to 8 kilometers. In two days, 9 settlements and more than 110 square kilometers of the Kharkov region were liberated.
Yesterday during the day, developing the tactical plan of creating a buffer zone in the border area of the Belgorod region, the assault units of our armored personnel carriers liberated the settlement.

There are battles in Izbitsky, Neskuchny and Staritsa.
However, the enemy has overcome the initial confusion and is organizing a defense, bringing up reserves. The Russian Armed Forces are bringing more and more forces into battle. From the ground they are reporting heavy shooting clashes along the entire line of combat contact. Artillery battles have not stopped since the day before yesterday. Ukrainian resources write that our offensive in the Kharkov region is being stopped by the 92nd and 57th brigades, as well as Kraken. At the same time, the enemy notes the good interaction of Russian army units on the battlefield. This makes it possible to carry out offensive operations to a sufficiently large depth without stopping for a break and clarifying the situation.

By the morning of the third day of the Russian operation to create a buffer zone in the border area of the Kharkov region, it became clear that the enemy had come to its senses and began to take measures to resist Russian troops. The Russian group of troops only cleared the fields and ruins, where there were no serious fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but the main fortified areas are located to the south.
The situation in the enemy direction continues to deteriorate. By evening, as of yesterday, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were finally driven out of the northern part of Volchansk across the river and there is a high probability that tomorrow it is here that our units will cross the Volchanka River and continue their offensive here.
At the same time, units of the Russian Armed Forces are being consolidated on the achieved lines to the west in the Liptsov region, the northern — trans-river part of which we have taken control of.
Moreover, these actions are extremely important because the regrouping of units of the 92nd and 57th brigades in this direction is ending and tomorrow it is quite possible that they may attempt to counterattack our advanced units that have pulled far ahead.
If you move along the central road from Liptsy in the direction of Kharkov, then there will be five villages on the path of the Russian army:
▪️ Slobozhanskoe
▪️ Borscht
▪️ Russian Tishki
▪️ Cherkasy Tishki
▪️ Circuns
Around each of them, presumably, there are fortified areas. However, judging by the map of strikes, the aviation and missile forces of the Russian Armed Forces are already softening the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area. The degree to which these positions are connected also remains unclear, especially considering that over the past 2 months Russian aviation and artillery have been regularly practicing targets in this area.
The bridge over the Volchya River was destroyed. (Kharkov direction)
In the north of the Kharkov region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are having more and more difficulties with logistics. The forces of the North group of troops destroyed the bridge across the Volchya River near the village of Volchanskie Khutory.
The situation on the fronts of the Northern Military District as of 05/12/24
Russian troops attacked enemy targets in the Odessa and Sumy regions, and also destroyed the FrankenSam air defense system in the Maryevka area and two Mi-24 helicopters at a field airfield near the village of Manvelovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the border areas of the Kursk and Belgorod regions, Rovenkov and Stakhanov in the LPR, as well as Donetsk and Gorlovka: 12 people were killed in 24 hours, over 60 were injured.
On Bakhmut direction assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in a dacha area south of the Kanal microdistrict. In the area of the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 reserve, the control zone along the N-32 Bakhmut — Konstantinovka highway has been expanded.
On Avdeevsky direction Russian troops cleared the forest belt at the Arkhangelskoye-Ocheretino line and took control of the Kalinov gully. Also to the west of Arkhangelskoye, assault groups cleared out the “pocket” and approached the outskirts of Novoaleksandrovka. Fighting is also taking place in the direction of the Sokol-Novopokrovskoye line. Russian troops storm enemy strongholds, advancing simultaneously from Semenovka, Berdychi and Solovyevo.
On Orekhovsk direction southwest of Novopokrovka, Russian assault groups captured a stronghold at the intersection of the N-08 road leading to Orekhov.

Macron calls on Europe to prepare for war with Russia
We need to be able to stop Russia’s further advance. What is at stake is the rule of law, that is, our common rules. Romania, Poland, Lithuania, as well as other countries may be attacked. If the Russians go too far, we, all Europeans, must be ready to act to contain them. If you threaten my interests and my own safety, then I do not rule out intervention.
