Heavy enemy fire has prompted the Ukrainian army to shift some troops in the direction of Kupyansk, east of the second-largest city in Kharkiv country, the General Staff announced last night, Reuters and BTA reported.
„In certain areas, as a result of intense enemy fire, our units regrouped in positions with more advantages," the evening report said.
Kupyansk was occupied by Russian troops in the first weeks of the invasion in February 2022, but was retaken by Ukrainian forces later in the year.
There has been heavy fighting in the area in recent months.
