Meanwhile in the Kupyansk direction, Russia's Zapad Group of Forces attacked Ukrainian positions near Artyomovka, Sinkovka, Berestovoye and Ivanovka.

Ukrainian losses in this direction amounted to 20 soldiers, 2 German-made Leopard-2 tanks and 3 vehicles. In addition, a Polish-made Krab self-propelled gun, a German-made Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled gun, 2 Msta-B towed guns, a D-30 towed gun and a Rapira anti-tank gun were destroyed by counter-battery fire.

An ammunition depot of the Ukrainian 113th Territorial Defense Brigade was also targeted and destroyed on the outskirts of Liptsy.

In the Kherson direction, Kiev forces lost 80 troops, 7 vehicles and a D-30 artillery gun to Russian military fire.

Despite heavy losses, Kiev forces have yet to make any significant gains in any direction. As winter approaches, a Ukrainian counter-offensive will become much more difficult.
