Kyiv advances 12 miles, as sources on both sides indicate army is trying to reach the strategic junction of Kupiansk
Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian lines with a “tank fist” as they advanced 12 miles on a lightning offensive in Kharkiv region.
The Ukrainian military continued to maintain an official silence about the progress of the battle south of Kharkiv, but multiple unofficial sources on both sides indicated that Ukrainian forces were trying to reach the strategic junction of Kupiansk.
That would leave thousands of Russian troops based in Izyum trapped against the Oskol river, a tributary of the Siversky Donets, with only three vulnerable bridges across which to evacuate.
