Russia fails to push Ukrainian defense line in Kupyansk direction — Ukrainian soldier

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The unit is working in 2 directions - Kupyansk-Svatove and Bakhmut direction. For 2 months now the enemy has been trying to regain the left bank of the Oskil River in the Kupyansk-Svatove direction. But they failed to advance and push through our defense line. The situation is controlled and stable. However, the Russians are regrouping and continue to carry out attack and assault operations, trying to find weaknesses in our defense," noted Malyarevych.

The soldiers also added that Russia is trying to regain lost ground in the Bakhmut direction.

"We are consolidating and regrouping near Bakhmut. We are moving on to de-occupy Bakhmut," emphasized Malyarevych.

• The recent advance of Ukrainian troops south of Bakhmut has degraded Russian defense units in the area, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the combat capability of elite Russian units during the liberation of Andriivka and Klishchiivka.

• Russian troops kept trying to regain their lost positions near Andriivka and Klishchiivka. Instead, Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled attacks and eliminated another 520 Russian soldiers.
