russia Strives to Establish Foothold and Advance in Kupiansk Area - Khortytsia Troop Grouping

russian forces are attempting to cross the Oskil River using boats as part of their efforts to secure a foothold in the Kupiansk direction, according to Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Troop Grouping

In an interview on Espreso TV, Trehubov explained, "The enemy is infiltrating across the Oskil River in small groups, exploiting nighttime cover. They use boats to maneuver and assemble their forces in the dense vegetation along the riverbanks. Ukrainian forces are employing drones to target these groups and boats, effectively neutralizing their efforts."

Trehubov added that russian troops remain focused on advancing in the Kupiansk area. Ukrainian forces are responding by ramping up operations to eliminate enemy positions and secure the region.
