CinC Syrskyi on situation in Kupiansk: information encouraging

According to Ukrinform, Syrskyi reported this on Facebook.

"I worked with units of the search-and-strike group and the Kupiansk tactical group. I had a substantive conversation with the command staff of the search-and-strike group. We discussed measures to stabilize the situation in the Kupiansk area. I listened to reports on the operational situation—the information is encouraging," the commander-in-chief said.

According to him, "our units have managed to significantly improve their tactical position directly in the city. The routes of infiltration of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been blocked. The clearing of the Kupiansk area from Russian invaders, who have been “successful” only in terms of propaganda, continues. We are working on gradually pushing the enemy out of their stronghold north of the city, as well as from a number of other areas where the Russians still maintain their presence."

Syrskyi spoke with the personnel.

He emphasized that he admires the courage and professionalism of Ukrainian soldiers, who demonstrate exceptional resilience and readiness to destroy the enemy, and thanked them for their military service.

The commander-in-chief gave instructions to provide the troops with what they need, including extra stuff to boost their firepower against the enemy.

He noted the close cooperation and coordination of actions in the Kupiansk direction by various components of the Ukrainian Defense Forces—the Armed Forces, the National Guard, etc.

As reported by Ukrinform, most of the city of Kupiansk is under the control of Ukrainian troops.
