Ukraine stated Tuesday that its forces have gained the initiative in opposition to Russian troops on the Kupiansk entrance in Kharkiv
“The enemy offensive in the Kupiansk direction is currently unsuccessful. The fighting continues, but the initiative is already on our side,” Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar stated on Telegram.
Maliar stated Ukrainian forces close to the town of Bakhmut have made advances and that preventing on the northern flank continued in the course of the day.
“The enemy is trying to regain lost positions. Our fighters have to deal with dense mines and intense enemy fire,” she added.
Maliar later commented on the scenario on the southern frontline with Russia, saying offensive actions by Ukrainian forces continued on the Berdiansk and Melitopol fronts within the Zaporizhzhia area.
“In the directions of Mala Tokmachka-Novopokrovka and Velyka Novosilka-Urozhaine, our defenders were successful. They are taking hold at the reached boundaries,” she stated.
Maliar stated the intention of Russian forces within the space is to cease the advance of Ukrainian forces.
In an earlier assertion, Russia’s Foreign Ministry stated its forces within the route of Kupiansk continued their offensive operations efficiently, including they made advances as much as 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) alongside the entrance and as much as 1.5 kilometers (0.93 miles) in depth.
Independent verification of Ukraine and Russia’s claims is troublesome as a result of ongoing battle.
