Russian forces from the «North» group have taken control of the settlement of Ukrainskoye in the Kharkov Region over the past 24 hours. Units of the «East» group also captured the village of Kopani in the Zaporozhye Region, according to the Russian Defense Ministry’s July 1 summary on the progress of the special military operation.

The ministry said that during the fighting for Kopani, Russian troops destroyed up to two platoons of Ukrainian forces, seven vehicles, four quad bikes, 14 drone control posts and 22 heavy «Baba Yaga» hexacopters. The Defense Ministry stressed that control of the village creates conditions for further Russian advances in that sector.

The assault on Krasny Liman in the Donetsk People’s Republic is also continuing. Units of Russia’s 67th Motor Rifle Division took three strongholds and established control over 47 buildings. Over the past day, Ukrainian losses in the area amounted to up to 30 servicemen, three vehicles, four ground robotic systems and 11 UAV control points.

In Konstantinovka, also in the Donetsk People’s Republic, assault units of the «South» group are continuing to clear the southwestern part of the city. On the northern outskirts, Russian troops repelled two counterattacks by units of Ukraine’s 28th Mechanized Brigade, which operated with tank support.

Russian forces also struck a workshop in Ukraine that produced components for Neptune cruise missiles. According to the Russian Defense Ministry’s press service, the strikes hit fuel and energy facilities, transport infrastructure, fuel depots, a logistics center used by the Ukrainian army, a workshop producing engines for Neptune missiles and a storage site for them.

Russian attacks also targeted preparation and launch sites for long-range drones, as well as temporary deployment points used by Ukrainian formations and foreign mercenaries serving with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Russian air defenses shot down seven guided aerial bombs, one long-range operational-tactical missile and 602 UAVs launched by Ukrainian forces over the past 24 hours.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, total Ukrainian losses in the special military operation zone over the past day amounted to around 1,430 servicemen.
