Just change the whole counter
No way but to change the whole counter

That laminate is irreparable. You will not fix this.
Go to Bauhaus and have them cut you new lengths. It’s a cheap replacement, however you will need to recaulk the edges and add new trim.
The only way to really fix this it replacing the entire top board.
Assuming you are renting – notify your landlord. I don’t think this is considered “wear from normal use” and you will need to pay for fixing it, or activate your insurance.
The good news is that it’s chipboard covered in melamine, very cheap materials.
add a second sink? 😄
You might want to notify landlord. Let’s see what’s the quote. Do you have insurance?
An artistic row of tiles cross the counter.
You can fix it with meltable wax, it also works for floors.

Here is wider selection but you need to buy a separate heater, but the Clas Ohlson one sucks anyways.

But typically replacing is easier and more long lasting.
Hot stuff always need to go on stove or on a trivet, never on a worktop.
So you are responsible for fix expenses due to negligence but you can check from your home insurance, if you have one, if they could cover this.
If you are renting, you need to inform your landlord. Most likely they will get a new counter and ask for you to pay it.
Drill a hole, chamfer edges. Put a trash bin under the counter.
Any holes in these countertops will have sucked moisture into the structure and it will just mold over in time unable to dry completely
