Ukrainian forces continue to liberate Kupiansk from Russian occupiers. Spokesman for 'Dnipro' Viktor Trehubov reported that the enemies are either dying or surrendering, but the city still requires final clearing of enemy presence. According to Trehubov, urban battles are always challenging as both sides highly value the lives of their fighters.
Ukrainian forces encounter not only Russian militants but also mercenaries from third-world countries, who are actively surrendering, Trehubov explained.
Despite the difficulties, Trehubov is confident that Russian forces will not be able to alter the course of events in favor of the enemy army, as the Ukrainian army has gained the advantage.
The President's visit and the reaction of propagandists
In Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, the process of liberating the city from occupiers continues despite claims from Russia about the 'capture' of the city. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky personally visited the city, which caused outrage among Russian propagandists who are trying to spread disinformation about this visit.
