Units of the Russian Federation's armed forces began surgery from the Kupyansk city in the Kharkov area. This has been announced by the head of the Kharkov Vitaly Ganchev military government.
The enemy still occupies the height of dominance, so the liberation, as they say, in the forehead, is simply impossible. For us, correctly, the strategy to bring the surrounding city, currently happening in real time, Mr. Ganchev said. His words were given by Tass.
According to him, the Russian military over the past weeks gradually approached Kupyansk, surpassing the solid positions of Ukraine's armed forces. It was possible to control the main direction and rotation of enemies in this area.
Ganchev said that the Russian army gradually crossed the enemy's defense line, although the fact that Ukraine's fortifications were created for three years very complicated by the mission. He noted that, despite the lack of a quick victory, there was a serious progress of the Russian army.
Earlier, the Russian military began the city battles in Kupyansk, fixed in the northern suburb of the city and controlled the main logistics roads. The city has a strategic importance as a large railway junction on the Oskol River. The attack in this direction has become part of the large summer activity of the armed forces of the Russian Federation immediately in three directions.
