On the Kupiansk axis, the 43rd Brigade has eliminated over 50 occupiers in the past week, wounded more than 40, and captured three. Around 120 drones were shot down; one tank and one gun destroyed.

This was reported on Army TV by Artur Martirosian, officer of the 43rd Brigade.

Due to intense cold, the Oskil River has frozen, allowing enemy infiltration attempts along its banks.

“As far as we know, about 50 enemy soldiers remain in Kupiansk. Ukrainian Defense Forces control 90% of the city; the enemy is pushed to the outskirts”.

Russians increasingly use long-range drones for logistics disruption. Their loudest recent false claim was the fake about capturing Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi.
