There are no danger for Kharkiv. Ukrainian Armed Forces control Kupyansk direction – Fitio
In the Kupyansk sector, the Russians are not successful in advancing, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are on the active defense and are trying to improve the tactical situation by launching attacks whenever possible.
This was stated by Volodymyr Fitio, head of the public relations service of the Land Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the air of the United News telethon.
– Therefore, Kharkiv residents can now be calm. Foreign media reports about an attack on Kharkiv… We understand the enemy’s intentions – it’s Kharkiv, Poltava, Kyiv, the whole of Ukraine. But there are no alarm bells for Kharkiv residents at the moment,” he assured.
According to him, the number of troops on the border and in the Kupyansk sector has not changed, and the Defense Forces have been taking symmetrical measures since October, when the enemy began to actively attack.
– Now we see that the enemy is trying to find a weakness in the defense throughout the entire area of responsibility of the Khortytsia separate military unit. And the emphasis is shifting. For example, it may shift from Bakhmut to Kupyansk, and from Kupyansk to Bakhmut. All directions are important for the enemy,” noted Fitio.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over the past day in the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia operational and strategic group of troops in the Kupyansk sector, Ukrainian defenders repelled five enemy attacks near Synkivka, Kharkiv region.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for 685 days.
