In a recent development, Ukraine's military dismissed assertions by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the situation in Kupiansk. Putin claimed that the northeast Ukrainian town was encircled by Russian forces.
However, Ukraine's Joint Forces Task Force countered that while Russian troops are present in the northern sector, no such encirclement exists.
This is corroborated by DeepState, a Ukrainian open-source battlefield mapping project, which shows no signs of an encirclement around Kupiansk.
