Defense Forces repelled the occupiers from Kupiansk: what is the situation on the approaches to the city.
The situation on the approaches to Kupiansk is under the control of the Ukrainian military
Spokesman of the operational-strategic group 'Khortytsia' Nazar Voloshyn reported that the Defense Forces of Ukraine have pushed the Russians away from Kupiansk and control the situation on the approaches to the city. He said this during a telethon.
According to him, the occupiers are trying to advance in small assault groups and accumulate forces.
In that direction, the situation has stabilized, and the enemy has been pushed back from Kupiansk. Equipment and enemies attempting to cross to the other bank are immediately destroyed by our fire assets, as well as FPV drones. Everything there is under the control of our Defense Forces. Even if some groups manage to cross, consisting of eight or ten people, only about two or three make it to the shore. That is, the enemy is being destroyed there.
The head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, Oleg Synegubov, also confirmed that the Russians are crossing by boats to the right bank of the Oskil in Kupiansk, but Ukrainian defenders are destroying such groups.
Yes, such incidents occurred. These constant reconnaissance and sabotage groups test the defensive positions of our servicemen and employ various tactics. They cross the Oskil in boats and traverse effectively through minefields. Our soldiers identify all these incidents and try to maximally eliminate the enemy at the approaches to Kupiansk and other territories. Active battles have been ongoing in that direction for the second day.
