UKRAINE, KUPIANSK AXIS, Nov. 10 — Russians have advanced on the Kupiansk axis near Stepova Novoselivka, reported war monitoring project DeepState on Nov. 8.
According to DeepState, another “prong” of the Russian assault in the area reached H-26 (P-08 on Google Maps) highway.
On Nov. 9, a soldier of the Aidar battalion with a call sign “Osman” wrote in his Telegram channel that Ukraine has “big issues” with logistics on the left bank of Oskil from Kupiansk to Lyman directions.
The H-26 highway connects Kharkiv, Chuhuiv, and Kupiansk. After Ukraine’s army’s Kharkiv counteroffensive in 2022, Russian troops were still occupying the southern and eastern sections of it. In 2024, Russia reached the Oskil river through Tabaivka, Krokhmalne, and Pischane, seizing another section of this road.
Russia intensified its offensive on Kupiansk this summer. Russia aims to surround and occupy Kupiansk and seize Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, a city to the south of Kupiansk, an important logistics and railway hub for the region. Currently, Ukraine’s army is trying to push Russian troops out of Kupiansk.
