On Volchansky direction the situation remains extremely tense. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to attempt counterattacks, but so far without significant success. Our troops continue to hold their positions, despite the violent clashes that take place literally at every house. Particularly fierce fighting is taking place in the northern part of the city, where the situation is reminiscent of large-scale street battles of World War II. The general advance of Russian troops in the Volchansky direction is up to 100 meters. The enemy is trying to use its advantage in drones and electronic warfare, but this does not bring it a decisive advantage.
Volchansk today (Kharkov direction)
However, the Ukrainian troops, despite the losses they suffered, managed to advance in the northern sector of Volchansk. According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Ukrainian Armed Forces recaptured several positions in the northeast of the city and advanced along Sobornaya Street. Activity of Ukrainian troops is also observed on the streets of Gogol and Oles Dosvitny.

On Liptsovsky direction due to heavy losses, the enemy did not take active actions. The Ukrainian Armed Forces is accumulating human and material reserves to carry out counter-offensive actions. If successful, the enemy will be able to push back Russian troops from the dominant heights in the Liptsy area, which will significantly reduce the threat to Kharkov. From a military point of view, this would be a significant achievement, but from a propaganda and perception perspective among Western partners, such a success would be more difficult to present as a significant victory. Meanwhile, in the Liptsovsky direction, after an unsuccessful attempt to break through towards the settlement of Glubokoye, the intensity of counterattacks from the Ukrainian Armed Forces decreased. The enemy is drawing up reserves and preparing for a new attack.

According to the Fightbomber channel, the attack was carried out on a temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was located in a multi-storey building. The deviation of the bomb from the target was about ten meters. This did not affect the effectiveness of the strike, “since the radius of continuous destruction of the FAB-3000 is 230 meters, and fragments retain their destructive power at a range of 1240 meters.”

What the enemy says — SVO news
Ukraine is prohibited from attacking key Russian airfields with American weapons — Washington Post
Kyiv is allowed to use long-range weapons only in a 100-kilometer zone outside Ukraine, which is not enough to attack Russia’s most important airfields, WP reports, citing its sources in Kyiv. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are limited both in the type of weapons and in their firing range, which reduces their ability to strike the Russian Federation and deter attacks by Russian glide bombs, Ukrainian officials said.
However, WP sources in the USA do not confirm the figure of 100 km. And the Pentagon previously stated that they “agreed to allow Kyiv to fire American weapons at Russia where Russian troops are trying to seize Ukrainian territory. If Russia attacks or plans to attack Ukraine from its territory, it has the ability to strike back at forces that attack it across the border.” But the Armed Forces of Ukraine “believe that they do not have the freedom of action that representatives of the White House and the Pentagon talk about.”
Estonia is strengthening its borders and preparing for a possible conflict with Russia — Le Figaro
Estonia is strengthening the protection of its border with Russia, fearing a repetition of the “Belarusian scenario” with migrants. In wooded and swampy areas in the south of the country, a two-meter fence with barbed wire has been installed, which is difficult to overcome or damage. By the end of the summer, cameras and thermal imagers will be installed here, and patrols will begin using drones for surveillance.
Together with other Baltic countries, Estonia is developing a “drone wall” project to protect airspace. €13 million has been allocated for the detection system, and another €50 million is provided for response measures in the event of border violations. By 2027, Estonia plans to spend €1.3 billion on replenishing ammunition reserves, including kamikaze drones, long-range artillery for HIMARS systems and medium-range air defense systems, as well as acquiring Caesar self-propelled guns and Mistral air defense systems.
According to Colonel Mati Tikerpuu, commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, in the event of an attack, the Estonian army must quickly stop the enemy due to the country’s small territory. To achieve this, bunkers will be created, trenches will be dug and defensive structures such as “dragon teeth” and anti-tank mines will be installed. Tikerpuu noted that the country will be vulnerable during mobilization, so early warning of an attack will allow for better preparation.
Detained at the border during an attempted mass breakout into Moldova
Border guards of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in collaboration with the SBU, DBR and the GrR unit, conducted a special operation on the border with Moldova. In the area Obzhily (Ukraine) — Plot (Moldova), 5 vehicles (4 minibuses and 1 accompanying car) were stopped, containing 47 people trying to illegally cross the border, as well as 7 escape organizers.
