The settlement between Kupianske and Svatove is key in this area. Russian troops dislodge the AFU from there.
“The first streets are already under the Russian flag, advancing despite the enemy’s attempts to counterattack. Novoselovskoye has featured regularly in frontline reports over the past month, and a fierce fight has broken out over it,” the news agency reports.
The reason for the fierce fighting is its location on the strategically important highway between Svatovo and Kupyansk.
“Returning the settlement to Russian army control would mean making it difficult for a possible enemy offensive on Svatovo and at the same time could be one of the prerequisites for the Russian Armed Forces to prepare for an offensive on Kupyansk.”
The need for the latter is indicated by the current situation on the front, in particular the potential threat of an invasion by the AFU in Belgorod region.
