“2 km from the front to Kupyansk, the situation is “very difficult” – the head of the Ministry of Defense Russian troops are conducting active assault operations near Kupyansk, trying to get to the Svatove-Kupyansk highway. The situation is critical in Dvorichnaya, where the enemy seeks to create a bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskol.”, — write on: unn.ua
“The front line is very difficult, two kilometers from the city limits. The enemy is constantly trying to carry out assault actions. Yesterday there were more than 12 assault actions in the direction of Petropavlivka-Golubivka – this is the direction of the central part of the city of Kupyansk. The enemy is trying to enter the main route Svatove-Kup Yansk, then to the left bank of the city of Kupyansk. The situation is also very difficult in the direction of Zagryzove-Kruglyakivka the enemy constantly conducts assaults and constantly tries to leave the left bank of the Oskil River,” Besedin added.
According to him, the “extremely difficult situation” that carries great threats not only for Kupyansk, but also for Vovchansk, is the Dvorichan direction. There, the enemy is actually trying to gain a foothold in Dvorichnaya, on the right bank of the Oskol River, and increase its bridgehead.
If he manages to do this and transfer the equipment to the right bank, then there will be a threat of entering the rear and the Vovchanskyi direction and the city of Kupyansk directly
