"We have repeatedly heard from the enemy, who claims that he has allegedly taken full control of the city, but this is absolutely not true, since the Russians are there in very small numbers, they are blocked. But the Russians continue to use infiltration tactics, under the cover of fog, trying to enter the city from the northern part," Tyshchenko told Kyiv24.

"The enemy is clearly in the city, but he is not accumulating. The enemy has not yet received orders to leave" he said.

According to the military, the situation in the city is under control. The enemy continues to use infiltration tactics and, under the cover of fog, is trying to enter the city from the northern part. "The enemy is also trying to create a picture, which he does along the entire front line, when under the fog he brings one or two of his soldiers with a flag, tries to hang it up and film it as if the city or settlement is under their control. They tried to do this in Kupyansk several times, to reach the stele, but they did not succeed, the enemy was detected and destroyed in advance," Tyshchenko said.
