Brief Frontline Report – March 29th, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'West' troop group, as a result of decisive actions, have liberated the populated area of Kovsharovka in the Kharkov region. "
In the area of the Peschanoe - Kupyansk-Uzlovoi - Glushkovka salient, about 800 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are surrounded.
Russian assault troops liberated the largest urbanized settlement (for administrative purposes, a settlement is between a village and a city) in Ukraine - Kovsharovka (49°37′49″ N, 37°41′27″ E, population 17,960 in 2022) by advancing from the Kurilovka settlement to the northern base of this salient. To the south, the settlement is adjacent to the Novoosinovka settlement - the last defense area of the enemy on the way to block the neck of the pocket, into which the Ukrainian Armed Forces group fell in this defense area. By a counter-attack movement from Kovsharovka to Glushkovka and from Glushkovka to Kovsharovka, assault troops of the 1st Guards Tank Army are carrying out this task.
