Russian Kupyansk Offensive continues; Ukrainian lines continue to get pushed back – we believe the lines could break anytime:
"Near Kupyansk, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces "West" group continue their positional offensive. As a result of the attack on the Lyman 1st-Pervomaiskoye sector, Russian fighters knocked out the formations of the 14th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from several strongholds.
At the moment, the Russian army has taken important positions at the landings south of Olshana and Pervomaiske. The control line runs along the forest belts adjacent to settlements."
