The Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated a Russian colonel who led assaults near Velyky Burluk in the Kharkiv region

The Ukrainian defense forces struck the command post of the Russian troops in the eastern direction. As informs joint strategic grouping of troops “Khortytsia”, as a result of the hostilities, the colonel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation Lebedev, who led the enemy’s assault operations in the Veliky Burluk area of the Kharkiv region, was destroyed.

According to the provided operational information, it is about the commander of the 83rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 69th Motorized Rifle Division of the Army of the Russian Federation. It was this unit that participated in the attempts to break through the Ukrainian defenses on the indicated part of the front, in particular in the direction of the Veliko Burlutka community, which has been under active fire and assault pressure from the Russian Federation for the past few weeks.

The destruction of an officer of this rank significantly weakens the control of enemy units on this part of the front line and complicates the coordination of further offensive actions. The command of the “Khortytsia” Special Operations Command notes that the destruction of Lebedev was made possible thanks to the coordinated actions of Ukrainian soldiers in the framework of countering enemy assaults in the northeast of the Kharkiv region.
