Russians are trying to capture Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi

The Russian Federation troops, constantly replenishing their forces, are trying to capture a strategically important railway junction on the Kupiansk front - Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi. Source: Denys Yaroslavskyi, Commander of the intelligence unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on air of Radio Liberty Quote: "The enemy is trying to storm us around the clock.

Attacks do not stop. They are trying to recapture Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi. This is really a strategic railway junction, which they are trying to grab hold of and are striking at the crossings, at all the facilities that can cut us off from Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi.

Yes, they are really trying to encircle Kupiansk.

This is their goal. We understand this goal. The enemy is suffering losses, but is quickly recovering from them by deploying additional forces.

We do not feel that there are fewer Russians. We know that they are trying to repeat the assault in the near future. The situation is very difficult."
