As reported by an Ukrinform correspondent, this was stated on television by Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Joint Forces Group. “If we are talking about the city itself [Kupiansk], then, of course, control is being maintained there,” he said. According to Trehubov, the changes in the situation reported earlier mainly concerned the outskirts of Kupiansk. In particular, Russian forces had attempted to exert pressure on the left bank of the Oskil River. On the right bank, however, the spokesperson said that Russian troops had been forced to retreat following several operations. They are now trying to advance toward Radkivka and Kindrashivka in order to create an opportunity to enter the city from the north.
