Russian troops have intensified their attacks in the Kupiansk district of Kharkiv region, suffering heavy losses. Enemy drones are also putting pressure on the Defense Forces’ logistics on the eastern bank of the Oskil River.
According to Ukrinform, Viktor Tregubov, spokesperson for the Joint Forces Task Force, stated this on television.
“The situation in Kupiansk is challenging because the enemy has significantly intensified its attacks… As for the Kupiansk district, we divide it into two parts along the Oskil River. East of the Oskil, the Russians are actively breaking through near Kivsharivka and advancing toward Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, attempting to cut off the Ukrainian bridgehead east of the river. They are facing significant resistance and suffering heavy losses there, but they are not really being stopped,” Tregubov noted.
According to the spokesperson, the situation has also worsened west of the river, specifically in the city of Kupiansk, where the Russians have intensified their attempts to advance from the north of the city and gain a foothold in its northern districts.
“The enemy is being eliminated in large numbers there, but they are actively increasing the pressure, throwing into battle the reserves they accumulated over the summer,” Tregubov emphasized.
