Could be...I wish I could find the actual award. Seems it would place Chubarov in the area at least, so it could very well be part of the defense/recapture.

From wikipedia

After January 1943 as part of the Southern Front, which became the 4th Ukrainian Front on October 20, 1943, the 51st Army took part in the Rostov, Donbass (August-September 1943), Melitopol (September-November 1943) and the 1944 Crimean offensive operation. On April 1, 1944, 51st Army included the 1st Guards Rifle Corps (33rd Guards, 91st and 346th Rifle Divisions) 10th Rifle Corps (216th, 257th, and 279th Rifle Divisions) 63rd Rifle Corps (263rd, 267th, and 417th Rifle Divisions), the 77th Rifle Division, the 78th Fortified Region, artillery, armour, and other support units. During these operations, the 51st Army's attacks trapped the German XXIX. Armeekorps against the Sea of Azov.

In May - June, 1944 51st Army was moved to the western direction. As part of the 1st Baltic Front it participated in operations clearing Latvia and Lithuania - the Baltic Offensive. Leading the penetration of 1st Baltic Front into German lines, 51st Army reached the Bay of Riga on July 31, 1944, cutting off German Army Group North to the northeast of Riga. Under tremendous pressure, the Germans organized an armored counter-attack (Doppelkopf) from August 16 to August 27, 1944 that succeeded in re-opening a 40-kilometer wide corridor through which Army Group North retreated westward into the Courland region of Latvia.
