Today (Friday), the Ukrainian army registered more successes in the counterattack it is conducting against the Russians in the occupied Kharkiv district in the northeast of the country, and managed to reach the outskirts of the city of Kupyansk, an important road and rail junction connecting the Russian sector of Isium to the Russian border.
Photos of Ukrainian soldiers standing near the entrance sign to the city were placed by netizens at one of the entrance points to the city and reports on the Telegram networks confirmed that the Ukrainians are near the city and have already managed to place artillery around the city, which has been under Russian control since February, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
The Ukrainian attack is progressing on two axes, to the northeast and south, with the force moving south advancing to the valley of the city of Isium, where the base of the Russian force is located in the Kharkiv region and in the west of the Donbas region.
The Ukrainian army is advancing more slowly towards Isium, this is based on the assumption that the humidity of the occupation of Kupyansk will force the Russians to abandon Isium and retreat east towards the Donbass.
The Russian army began pouring large forces of armor and artillery into the Kopiansk and Izion area in an attempt to stop the attack, the Russian media reported.
Additional evidence on social media indicates that the Russian army has lost large amounts of artillery, armor and soldiers in recent days.
According to various videos that were circulated, dozens of Russian soldiers surrendered while the Ukrainians liberated dozens of settlements, including the city of Liakila.
Released videos also showed civilians standing by the roadside cheering on the advancing Ukrainian forces.
