Ukrainian forces are claiming victories in the Kherson region as they take swaths of territory in the Kharkiv region.
“There is good news: we are advancing….we have advanced on the enemy’s positions from two to tens of kilometers in various areas. But we are not yet announcing the names of settlements and the directions in which we are successful,” Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for the defense forces in the south, said on Ukrainian television Friday.
But she said Russian forces continued to strike from the air.
“They are weak on land, they try to hit civilian positions, populated areas, and rear areas.”
Humeniuk also claimed that some Russian units were refusing to fight.
Very little video evidence has emerged from the southern front in recent days about the battlefield situation.
The Russian Ministry of Defense Thursday claimed that Ukrainian forces had abandoned their positions in two locations on the border between Kherson and Mykolaiv regions due to heavy casualties.
Kupyansk is an important logistical and supply hub for Russian forces not just in Izium and Lyman, immediately to the south, but also for some parts of the Luhansk and Donestk regions.
