Developments Around Kupiansk: New Details and Predictions
In the Kharkiv region, active Russian military advances around Kupiansk are intensifying the ongoing conflict in the area.
According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), referencing geolocation videos, Russian forces have recently advanced north of the city along the Southern Railway and penetrated the western part of the Dvorična settlement, indicating potential escalation in shelling and combat activities in this sector.
Some Russian sources report that Russian troops have encircled the center of Kupiansk and cut off Ukrainian units there, although these claims lack official confirmation.
Additionally, reports have emerged indicating Ukrainian counterattacks near Myrove and the destruction of a bridge over the Oskil River near Petrivka by Russian artillery.
Ukrainian commanders emphasize that the situation remains tense in the coming weeks, as Russian forces employ exhausting tactics with frequent attacks, primarily composed of newly recruited soldiers with minimal training and equipment.
The Ukrainian General Staff announced that four attacks were repelled yesterday on the Kupiansk front, with fighting in regions including Kupiansk, Pishane, Stepova Novoselivka, and Petropavlivka.
Meanwhile, preparations for a potential assault on Lyman are underway, with experts predicting an escalation in hostilities in this area soon.
