Ukraine's Joint Forces Group says it is maintaining control of the city of Kupiansk in Kharkiv region, according to spokesperson Viktor Trehubov, as reported by Ukrinform on 10 November. Trehubov said changes reported earlier mainly concerned the city's outskirts, where Russian forces had pressed on the left bank of the Oskil River and were forced to retreat on the right bank after several operations. Russian troops are now trying to advance toward Radkivka and Kindrashivka to create a route into Kupiansk from the north. Trehubov said Russian forces might try to reinforce groups that had previously infiltrated the city via Holubivka or Radkivka, but that this is currently extremely difficult for them. He added that infiltration could become possible in unfavorable weather, when Ukrainian drones would be less effective. Ukrinform reported that Russian forces conducted no assault operations in the Kupiansk sector on 9 November. The sources gave no casualty or territorial figures.
