The Armed Forces of Ukraine have reported this Saturday of the seizure of the town of Kupiansk, in the Kharkov region, until now controlled by Russian forces, and continue the advance towards the city of Izium.
“Special forces personnel of the Central Security Service A of the Ukrainian secret service (SBU) in Kupiansk, which was and always will be Ukrainian!”, the SBU itself has published in its official Telegram account.
“We will liberate our land to the last centimeter! We are going further! Glory to Ukraine!” Continues the text, picked up by the Ukrainian press.
In addition, photographs have been published of soldiers from the 92nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces posing with a flag of the country supposedly in Kupiansk.
Kupiansk is a key point of the Russian logistics supply route from Russian territory to the city of Izium, analysts quoted by the Ukrainian press point out.
This advance is part of the offensive launched by the Ukrainian forces on August 29 in the Kherson and Kharkov regions, which has allowed them to recover 30 towns in Kharkov.
