Occupation of the city of Kup'yansk
Information from the spokesperson of the Operational and Strategic Group of Troops 'Dnipro' Oleksiy Belsky indicates that the Russian invaders preferred to occupy the city of Kup'yansk in the Kharkiv region. According to him, although the Russians have not yet been able to enter the city, they are using sabotage groups and disguise tactics for their infiltration.
'Officially, the Russians have not entered the city, but there are sabotage groups here. They are violating the laws of war by using disguise tactics, but this tactic has proven effective,' Belsky emphasized.
The Russian troops are trying to concentrate their forces on the northern outskirts of the city through infiltration. They are also conducting counter-sabotage operations, clearing areas of Kup'yansk.
'They are trying to concentrate their forces on the northern outskirts of the city, infiltrating the city itself, many of them in civilian clothes with forged documents. Unfortunately, many local residents refused to leave the city, remaining there under bombardment,' he said.
Use of gas pipes by Russian occupiers
Experts from DeepState reported that Russian occupiers are using gas pipes as a way to infiltrate Kup'yansk, crossing the Oskil River. For this operation, they have mobile beds on wheels, and the route to the outskirts of the city takes about four days.
Ukrainian power units continue active operations in the Dobropilski direction, liberating territories from Russian troops. Recently, the 'Azov' forces liberated the village of Pankivka and adjacent territories.
