She shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The situation in the Kupyansk direction has been under control for a long time, though it remains challenging. The enemy continuously conducts assault operations, seeking weaknesses in our defenses but failing to find any. When these attempts fail, Russian forces resort to more emotional responses, attacking settlements beyond Oskol. Areas such as Petropavlivka, Synkivka, Kupyansk, and surrounding villages are experiencing artillery attacks and bombardment," noted Zamryha.

The head of the public relations service also added that the brigade destroyed a Russian Grad MLRS in the Kupyansk direction.

"Recently, an enemy BM-21 Grad was firing at our positions. Our aerial reconnaissance detected it in time, and FPV drone operators destroyed the enemy Grad. This is a very difficult, complex and dangerous work of many units," emphasized Zamryha.

  • Over the last day, August 7, 96 combat clashes took place at the frontline. Russian troops attacked in 11 directions, most actively near Pokrovsk.
