On March 14, Ukraine attempted to deploy helicopter-borne air assault troops, along with approximately 30 militants, in the Kozinka area. However, their landing was thwarted and subsequently neutralized.

The Ukrainian military's failed attempt to infiltrate into Russia's Belgorod Region on March 14 cost them losses of over 50 troops, the MoD noted. The ministry added that Russian forces have completely restored control over the village of Kozinka (in the Belgorod Region), and the area has been totally mopped up.
