UKRAINE, KINDRASHIVKA, Jun 9 — The group of Russian troops occupied the center of Kindrashivka village, located four kilometers (two miles) from Kupiansk, a key logistical hub in Kharkiv region, said the analytical OSINT project DeepState that maintains an online war monitoring map.

“Recently, Russians raised a flag in the center of the village, likely to signal they have taken control of the village,” said the statement.

DeepState analysts confirmed, based on reports from Ukrainian units in this area, that Russian troops hold the center of the Kindrashivka but they are isolated from main forces, lacking reliable supply lines.
