Russian Forces Break Through in Northern Kharkov Region, Heading for Logistics Hub Kupyansk – Ukrainians Order Evacuation of Dozens of Settlements in the Region
After months of positional battles and a real stalemate in terms of the line of contact, there was finally a breakthrough in the northern region of Kharkov. But not, mind you, by the Ukrainian forces.
It was the Russian Federation forces who formed an offensive group and are displacing the AFU from strongholds and villages, leveling the defense line towards the important rail hub of Kupyansk, a few kilometers away.
The assault groups are working in coordination with artillery and aviation, and inflicting heavy losses on the Ukrainian defenders.
And what’s more, Russian officials in the region expressed confidence that the conditions for a ‘global, large-scale offensive on Kharkov’ would soon be set.
