🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kupyansk direction: Advance on the bridgehead behind Oskol
Active fighting continues in the Kupyansk direction. The greatest successes of the Russian Armed Forces are observed on the western bank of the Oskol, where the zone of control of the Russian Armed Forces has been significantly expanded over the past few days.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
More details about the situation in the Kupyansk direction:
▪️At the Figolovka - Dvurechnaya line, the enemy was driven out of several forests near the Redkodub highway. There were no large-scale advances; it is about strengthening the bridgehead and securing communications.
▪️To the south, between Dvurechnaya and Zapadny, the enemy tried to counterattack several times, but was stopped and destroyed by mines. According to sources, Russian troops already control the territory here not only from the air.
In addition, Russian troops managed to advance on a relatively wide front in the direction of Kondrashovka, occupying several gullies and ravines, as well as most of the territory of the now non-existent village of Kalinovo. There are also reports of a dash to Golubovka, but they have not yet been confirmed.
❗️Of course, it is too early to talk about storming Kupyansk, although further development of the bridgehead will definitely contribute to this in the future. At the same time, battles are also taking place in other areas of the direction, although they rarely make it into publications.

🏳️🇺🇦 AFU POW: prisoners are captured and mobilised again
Aleksandr Chumak was captured during an attempt to invade the Kursk region. He says that Russian servicemen treat him well: 'Feed, give water, and let us wash. It's fine with it here.'
Aleksandr was mobilized by force. The POW notes that it is better not to show up outside due to the TCC. A prisoner is aware of cases where they captured people returned from captivity. 'It happens. They catch everyone,' says Aleksandr.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 The third-ranked candidate for President of Poland Slawomir Mentzen (~16% support), came to Lvov and addressed his fellow citizens standing in front of the Bandera monument.
“We are in Lvov at the monument to Stepan Bandera. He is a terrorist who was sentenced to death by a Polish court for killing Poles.
He founded the Ukrainian nationalist organization and is responsible for the Volyn massacre. He killed 100,000 Poles, and these people erected a monument to him. It's like Germany erecting a monument to Hitler. Ukraine must put an end to the cult of Stepan Bandera as soon as possible.”

Slovakia Calls for Reimbursement of Funds Spent on Ukraine Aid

He emphasized that this is a significant amount for the country and stated that if the U.S., Germany, and France begin demanding repayment of their aid, Slovakia cannot remain on the sidelines.
Earlier, the U.S. proposed that Ukraine repay its $500 billion debt for military and financial assistance using its natural resources. A similar approach is now being discussed within the EU.
