UK MoD predicts possible Russian advance near Oskil River in Kharkiv region

The UK Defense Ministry reports.

“Russian forces are highly likely within several hundred meters of the Oskil River in a narrow salient approximately 20 km south of the town of Kupyansk. It is likely that continued Russian attacks are complicating Ukrainian operations on the east bank of the Oskil,” the statement says.

The report also suggests that Russia could possibly continue to advance in the area in the coming weeks.

It is worth noting that Kupyansk is located on the Oskil River and is a railroad hub that supports Ukrainian operations in the Kharkiv region.
