Russia’s top military officer, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, announced on television that Russian forces had captured the strategic city of Kupyansk in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, with footage showing troops raising the Russian flag. Kremlin media portrayed it as a major turning point, with President Putin praising the military and predicting inevitable victory. However, Ukraine immediately denied the claim, stating that Kupyansk remains under Ukrainian control, with only small groups of Russian soldiers infiltrating northern districts. The city, an industrial hub of 27,000 people, has symbolic and strategic significance: Russia sees it as a gateway deeper into Kharkiv, while Ukraine treats it as a critical line that must not be broken. <br /> <br />#Kupyansk #KupyanskControl #KupyanskFrontline #KupyanskBattle #KupyanskOffensive #KupyanskCaptured #KupyanskRegion #WestKupyansk #EasternKupyansk #KupyanskAdvance #KupyanskFalls #PutinFrontlineUpdate #UkraineRussiaWar #BattleForKupyansk #KupyanskLive<br /><br />~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~
