Ukrainian troops drive enemy back from Kupiansk and control situation on outskirts - Khortytsia OSTG
Ukraine's defense forces have pushed back the Russian occupiers from Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, and are controlling the situation on the outskirts of the city. Enemy vehicles are immediately destroyed by our firepower.
This was reported on TV by the spokesman for the Khortytsia OSTG Nazar Voloshyn, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
"They (the occupiers - ed.) are trying to infiltrate in small assault groups and then accumulate. This is without the involvement of a large number of armored vehicles. We managed to stabilize the situation in that direction, and the enemy was pushed back from the city (Kupiansk- ed.)," Voloshyn said.
According to him, the enemy's equipment and vehicles trying to cross to the other side are immediately destroyed by our firepower and FPV drones.
"Everything there is under the control of our Defense Forces. Even if some groups are crossing in the amount of 8 or 10 people, about 2-3 people out of this number make it ashore. That is, the enemy is destroyed there as well," Voloshyn added.
Earlier, DeepState's map showed a possible landing of Russian troops across the Oskil River south of the village of Novomlynsk in the Kharkiv region. Analysts suggested that the Russians could have been crossing by boat from the village of Dvorichne and were trying to gain a foothold in the positions of one of the Ukrainian brigades.
