Analysts of the DeepState project report that for the third time after the incidents near Sudzha and in Avdiivka, Russian troops have used pipes of the local gas pipeline network to infiltrate their groups, FOCUS reported.
"The entrances to the pipe are located in the Liman area. Specially designed wheeled beds are used to move around the pipe, as well as electric scooters, where the height allows. The route to the vicinity of Kupyansk takes about 4 days, so special places for rest and supplies have been made along the way".
In this way, the organized enemy groups reached Radkovka without serious losses, and from there they moved south into the forest controlled by them. Then they disperse to Kupyansk and reach the railway line.
According to analysts from the Ukrainian project, in Kupyansk itself there are already positions for the take-off of Russian FPV drones.
It is also reported that a problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the lack of forced evacuation of local residents who are in the same houses as Russian troops, which is why a strike cannot be carried out.
The "Shkval" battalion of the 425th separate assault regiment "Skelya" conducted a successful offensive operation on the administrative border between the Dnepropetrovsk and Donetsk regions. This was stated by the press service of the 425th regiment in their Telegram channel.
""As a result, the village of Filiya was liberated from Russian forces and the Ukrainian flag is flying there again". It is noted that the main battles were fought in agricultural land. In this case, the Russian DRG (Sabotage Reconnaissance Group) tried to raise the Russian flag, but Ukrainian forces destroyed the group.
A Ukrainian soldier was wounded as a result of a drone attack, but upon returning from the mission, the stormtroopers killed a Russian soldier.
According to the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 168 battles took place over the past 24 hours.
