Russian forces continue to apply active pressure in the Lyman and Kupiansk sectors, but their attempts to infiltrate near Kupiansk remain ineffective, while in the Velykyi Burluk sector, Ukrainian forces have managed to push the Russians back to the border.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on television by Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Joint Forces Operation.
“Active pressure continues in the Lyman sector, including in the Borova area north of Lyman, although the Russians have been lying as much as possible about their own successes there. Furthermore, looking specifically at the Kupiansk sector, active Russian pressure continues on the eastern bank, and infiltration attempts north of the city are ongoing,” he said.
According to Trehubov, Russian attempts to advance near Kupiansk are not yielding results, though isolated groups of Russian troops remain in the city.
“They are currently ineffective and cannot reach the city, but, unfortunately, there are still a few ‘stragglers’ in the city itself, as well as some individuals who managed to get in by infiltrating through a pipe about a month ago. The total number is up to two dozen, perhaps,” the spokesperson added.
