Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has visited Kharkiv Oblast and reported on the situation on the Kupiansk front.

Quote: "During my visit to troop groupings and units in Kharkiv Oblast, I reviewed the operational situation in their areas of responsibility."

Details: Syrskyi stated that work continues to identify Russian soldiers who have "infiltrated through our defences" in Kupiansk.

Quote: "The scale of the lies told by the Russian leadership about the situation in Kupiansk is astonishing. And the truth is that fewer than 40 Russian radio traffic users were recorded in the city in the days following their statements.

Our units are holding the designated lines on the approaches to Kupiansk and increasing fire pressure on the enemy in order to block their supply routes."

Background: On the evening of 21 November, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin claimed that Russian forces had fully captured the city of Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast – a claim that has been denied by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
