Ukrainian forces advance near Kupiansk while Russia claims control of settlements near Sumy amid ongoing front-line clashes.
Intense military developments continue along multiple front lines in Ukraine, featuring contrasting claims from both combatants. Ukrainian troops are currently pushing forward along the right bank of the Oskil River north of Kupiansk, with Ukrainian authorities reportedly preparing to announce the reclamation of nearly 200 square kilometers in the Lyman sector.
Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Defence stated that its forces captured several settlements on the approaches to Sumy.
