Also on July 4, in the direction of Kupyansk, Kiev forces stepped up their offensive, but the Russian army stopped them, causing Ukraine to lose a lot of manpower and equipment. This information was revealed by Colonel Sergei Zybinsky, head of the press center of the Zapad group, in a publication published on official sources of the Russian Ministry of Defense on July 4.

According to Colonel Zybinsky, in the Kupyansk direction, the Zapad group's air force carried out 11 missile and bomb strikes on positions occupied by the forces of the 14th brigade.

Zapad group artillery also used Tornado-S missile launchers to attack a military base in the Balakliya area. It is reported that five enemy combat vehicles were destroyed after the attack.

In addition, a mortar battery was destroyed west of the Novoselovskoye settlement, two ammunition depots in the Kislovka area were also destroyed. In the area near the village of Dergachi, the Russian Lancet drone also successfully destroyed the P-18 early warning radar of the Kiev forces. This will increase the advantage of the Russian troops in repelling the Ukrainian troops.

The Russian army continues to step up its operations in the Kupyansk direction, demonstrating determination and high efficiency in destroying Ukrainian manpower and equipment.
