There is still only limited information or geolocatable visual material regarding the operation in the Grayvoron direction. The only thing that's confirmed is that the border station was attacked with multiple vehicles and fire support. 2/
The official Twitter & Telegram accounts of the Legion claim that Kozinka and Gora-Podol are under their control. This would mean the village of Glotovo is too. However, no further evidence has been posted yet. 3/
According to Ukrainian officials, the goal of this mission is to establish a buffer zone in Russian territory in order to protect Ukrainian civilians. This is understandable, as Russia has continuously shelled Ukrainian villages from their side of the border. 4/
This attack is likely a part of the operations preceding the actual counterattack. In addition to the actions on the ground, the attack towards Grayvoron is an information operation. Ukraine controls the information space, while the Russians are left confused and disorganized. 5/
The questions on everyone's mind:
What border troops doing? What response force doing? What Russia doing?
Maybe we will know more in the evening. The Russian "Special Military Operation" is getting increasingly special, even after day 453. 6/6
