Russia said Monday its troops had advanced three kilometres (two miles) along the Kupiansk front in northeast Ukraine.
“Over the past three days, the advance of Russian troops… amounted to 11 kilometres along the front and more than three kilometres deep into the enemy’s defence,” the defence ministry said.
Russia claimed Monday that its soldiers have advanced three kilometers (two miles) along the Kupiansk front in northeast Ukraine in the last three days, as it strives to reclaim territory lost earlier in the operation.
Last September, Ukrainian forces freed the city of Kupiansk and adjacent parts of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, but Moscow has since restarted its attack on the region.
“Over the past three days, the advance of Russian troops… amounted to 11 kilometres along the front and more than three kilometres deep into the enemy’s defence,” Moscow’s defence ministry said.
It said that it had “improved” its standing along the front line in the area and that it continued to repel Ukrainian counter-attacks.
Russia carried out several waves of attacks on Ukraine overnight, while Kyiv hit bridges in its occupied territories on Sunday.
