Ukrainian defenders are retaining control of Kupiansk, and changes in the situation mainly concern the city’s outskirts.
This was reported by Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Joint Forces Grouping.
According to him, Russian troops are currently trying to advance towards Radkivka and Kindrashivka in order to create an opportunity to enter from the north, but the city itself remains under the control of the Defence Forces.
The spokesperson also noted that the enemy is trying to reinforce groups that previously infiltrated Kupiansk, but the Russians are encountering significant difficulties during such attempts. In addition, worsening weather conditions could hamper the work of Ukrainian drones and create additional opportunities for the enemy to carry out attacks.
