Kiev is lying about the situation on the ground, according to the Defense Ministry in Moscow

Russian troops expect to fully capture the city of Kupyansk in Ukraine's Kharkov Region within the coming week, according to the commander of the assault unit involved in the operation. Kiev has continued to deny the gravity of the situation on the ground.

The Russian Defense Ministry says that the position of Ukrainian forces encircled near Kupyansk continues to deteriorate rapidly, leaving them no chance of escape aside from surrendering to Russian troops.

The commander of the 121st Regiment of the 68th Motorized Rifle Division, call sign Lavrik, said that his unit cleared 25 buildings in the city on Wednesday alone and "continues to advance." "I am confident that the city will be completely liberated within the next week. Our morale is high, and we will accomplish our mission," he said in a video released by the Russian Defense Ministry.
