Enemy blocked in Kupiansk and cannot build up its forces, - 125th SHMB

Operation in Kupiansk: Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to clear the city

Russian invaders are present in Kupiansk, but they are few in number and blocked. Ukrainian troops are successfully preventing infiltration and destroying the enemy as they attempt to sneak into the city.

According to Censor.NET, this was reported on Kyiv24 by Bohdan Tyshchenko, head of unmanned systems forces (USF) of the 125th Separate Heavy Mechanised Brigade (125 SHMB) of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He noted that the situation in the city is under control. The enemy continues to use infiltration tactics and, under the cover of fog, is trying to enter the city from the northern part.

"The enemy is also trying to create the impression that it is doing this along the entire front line, when it brings one or two of its soldiers with a flag under the fog, tries to hang it up and film it as if the city or settlement is under their control. They tried to do this several times in Kupiansk, to reach the stela, but they did not succeed, the enemy was detected in advance and destroyed," Tyshchenko said.

The invaders are in the city, but they are unable to accumulate. Those who managed to infiltrate the city have no opportunity to retreat - they are blocked.

"But, in addition, we hear from intercepts that any attempts to retreat will be suppressed by the enemy itself. The enemy says that it will shoot and not allow them to return," said the head of the 125th USF and SHMB.
