Get the latest news from the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Find out what is happening near Kupyansk and in the Donbas region.

Russian forces continue their military operations in the area, successfully advancing in the Kupyansk direction. Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) are experiencing significant losses, with many tanks and military personnel being captured or destroyed. A major prisoner exchange also took place in the Belgorod region. The situation on July 18 remains tense.

Russian Forces' Progress in Kupyansk

The Russian military is currently clearing Volchansk of enemy artillery. The UAF transferred prisoners from their "Shkval" unit to this area. Additionally, Russian operators have developed the ability to control drones through satellite communication.

New Prisoner Exchange

The latest prisoner exchange took place using the "95 for 95" formula. Russian servicemen crossed the border by bus and then flew to Moscow. The Ministry of Defense stated that the released soldiers will receive necessary medical and psychological support. The United Arab Emirates provided humanitarian assistance in facilitating this process.

Updates on the Frontlines

The Russian military is actively engaged in combat in Novoselovske, Synkovka, Andreievka, and Stelmakhovka. It has been reported that the commander of the 115th Battalion of the 110th UAF Brigade, stationed near Peschane, has been killed. The Ukrainian military is also utilizing specialized engineering vehicles, such as the BAT-2, to clear paths for their armored vehicles.

Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

The "Kontora" group, responsible for operating UAVs, is providing aerial cover for the Russian forces. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian "Shkval" project seems to have been inspired by a similar Russian initiative called "Shtorm". However, the majority of prisoners have not yet been deployed to the frontline.

Enemy Activities in Lipcovo

The enemy has not launched any attacks in Volchansk over the past day. However, the Ukrainian General Staff continues its aggressive actions in Lipcovo, with four attacks being repelled and two others being thwarted. Two militants from the UAF have been captured. It is noteworthy that even former employees of the Prison Service are being sent to the front lines.

Positive Developments

The Russian military has achieved significant progress in controlling the road near Ugledar, which is a crucial supply route for the Ukrainian forces. The area around Chasove Yar is also under intense pressure from the Russian troops. The offensive continues in Ocheretino and on the Severnyy protrusion. Furthermore, Russia has successfully demonstrated the ability to control drones through satellite systems, reducing the impact of enemy electronic warfare.

Summary

As the conflict in Eastern Ukraine persists, Russian forces are making gains, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffer losses. The situation remains tense, with ongoing battles in various locations. The use of UAVs and satellite-controlled systems provides a tactical advantage to the Russian military. The prisoner exchange process continues, aided by international partners. The Ukrainian forces continue to face challenges in creating favorable conditions for their offensive operations.
