Russian forces capture Milove in Kharkiv region amidst renewed attacks

This was reported by the OSINT project DeepState.

According to the report, this is part of a broader offensive operation on the western bank of the Oskil River. In the coming days, attacks are expected to continue towards the villages of Bologivka and Odradne to expand the pressure front.

Despite the fact that the offensive near Milove was not massive, the enemy managed to make some progress and is now attempting further attacks, particularly towards Ambarne and Zarubinka.

"In general, it is no secret that our main supply lines are in entirely different sections, so units in this operational and tactical zone are forced to find new forces from nothing, while the enemy is slowly but steadily increasing their pressure," analysts concluded.

Milove is a village in the eastern part of Kharkiv region, near the administrative border with Luhansk. It holds strategic significance due to its location along the Oskil River, which serves as a natural defensive line. Milove was liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the fall of 2022 during the large-scale counteroffensive in Kharkiv region. It is now once again in an area of active combat.

• On March 18, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russian leader Vladimir Putin aimed to launch offensive actions in Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, and the east.
