The Battle of Dvorichna is the first offensive battle of the Russian Armed Forces launched on June 1, 2023, as part of the counter-offensive operation on the Svatove-Kreminna front line which was established as a Russian solid defensive line that successfully stopped the Ukrainian Kharkiv counter-offensive. The goal of the operation near Dvorichna is to break through the Ukrainian defense near the city of Kupiansk and cross the Oskol River, which would open the way to the cities of Izyum and Kharkiv.[5]
Background[edit]
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Dvorichna was a scene of fighting for over a month before being occupied by Russian forces on 14 April 2022. On 11 September 2022, the settlement returned to Ukrainian control during a major counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast.[6]
Battle[edit]
Prelude[edit]
In the period from September 2022 to January 2023, fierce positional battles were fought with the gradual advance of Ukrainian forces in the direction of the town of Svatove. However, Russian forces along the R-66 highway formed a large and strong defense line about 15 km east of the Oskol River. In January 2023, Russian forces intensified shelling in the direction of Dvorichne by bringing in additional forces from the Western Military District. On January 27, Russian forces launched a major counteroffensive on the Svatove-Kreminna line, especially in the direction of Dvorichne.[7] The village of Dvorichne would change hands several times since then,[8][9][10][11] remaining largely contested until it finally came under partial Russian control on February 4, when Ukrainian forces were pushed out of the village's western outskirts.[12] This advance by Russian forces continued on 8 February,[13] until the village came under full Russian control on 10 February,[14] where it remains as of May 2023. Russian sources claimed that Russian troops occupied Masyutovka as early as May 15.[15][16] Despite the Russian capture, the village is still under artillery fire, and the front line is still not far away.[17] Geolocation images released on May 31 showed that Russian troops made a small advance southeast of Masyutovka, and on the same day, the official representative of the Western Group of Forces (ZVO) Sergey Zhibinsky said that unidentified units of the 6th combined army of the Western Military District repelled two Ukrainian attacks on region of the Movčanovo railway station (10 km northeast of Kupiansk).[18]
Battle[edit]
On June 1, Russian landing forces successfully landed on the left bank of the Oskil River and launched a frontal attack on Dvorichna northeast of Kupiansk.[19][20]
In the following days and weeks, the Russian forces carried out certain trenching on the right bank of the Oskil River with the aim of cutting off communication between the towns of Dvorichna and Kupiansk. However, the Ukrainian summer counter-offensive from June 4 in the southern and eastern sectors slowed down the Russian advance in the Dvorichna sector (on the right side of the Oskil River) in the following fifteen days, but the larger counter-offensive operations of the Ukrainian forces on the Kupyan direction were omitted, which the Russian forces used more forcefully with the attacks of June 19,[21] breaking through a series of defense lines along the Svatove-Kreminna front, especially during the month of July, because large Ukrainian forces were based south of the Donetsk River in the sectors of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Bakhmut and Soledar.[22]
Since July 15, Russian forces have additionally intensified combat operations between the towns of Dvorichna and Kupiansk with the aim of expelling all Ukrainian forces from the right side of the Oskil River.[23][24]
