Russia is again attempting to break through to Kupiansk — Ukrainian Armed Forces
Russian troops have resumed attempts to advance toward Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region.
According to Artur Martirosyan, an officer with the 43rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, Ukrainian forces have killed about 50 Russian soldiers in this area over the past week.
Artur Martirosyan reported this on Army TV.
He noted that there has been a gradual increase in Russian attacks. While ten assaults were repelled just yesterday, that number has now risen to 17. Currently, Russian forces continue to attack Petropavlivka, Kolisnykivka, Nova Kruhlyakivka, Kivsharivka, and Novoosynove.
They are also beginning to intensify their efforts in the direction of Kupiansk. Specifically, the Russians are attempting to approach the city from both the left and right banks of the Oskol River.
Two days ago, we had another attempt at a flag-planting operation in the city. A group of five people. Three were eliminated while still approaching. Two managed to reach Kupiansk with the aim of raising the Russian flag. They ran into a five-story building, which was also struck. One decided to surrender, while the other could think of nothing better than to climb out the fifth-floor window and test gravity, the officer said.
Theoccupiers’ greatest activity on the front is concentrated in the Pokrovsk direction.
Russian troops launched a massive strike on Hlukhiv in the Sumy region. Two people were injured as a result of the attack, and a large-scale fire broke out.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops carried out 725 strikes on 39 settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Two people were killed and ten others were wounded as a result of attacks on Zaporizhzhia and the Zaporizhzhia district.
