UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Oct 28 —  Russia conducted 20 attacks on the Kupiansk axis. Ukrainian troops repelled attacks near Kindrashivka, Synkivka, Kolisnykivka, Kruhliakivka, Lozova, Zahryzove, Pershotravneve, and Vyshneve, reported the General Staff.

One of the main goals of the Russian full-scale war is to capture the remainder of occupied Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast; their operations on the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line are dedicated to that. From this section of the frontline, they also aim to push into Kharkiv Oblast and re-occupy Kupiansk and Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, important logistics hubs for the region.  

In the Kharkiv direction, Russian troops attacked the positions of the Ukrainian forces four times.

Russia launched a missile strike and 91 airstrikes, dropping 184 glide bombs (KABs) on positions of Ukrainian troops and towns and villages in the region over the past day in total. They also fired over 4,410 times at Ukrainian forces from other types of weapons.
