He also spoke about the gas pipeline through which the Russians tried to penetrate Kupyansk.
Regarding the pipe, I will not comment yet, but as of now, they (the Russians - ed.) are not using it. Regarding the DRG, they are constantly trying to penetrate the city, these are usually small groups of 5-7 people. But there can be many of them at a specific period of time. They try to use their numbers, they try to infiltrate through Ukrainian positions and, infiltrating through Ukrainian positions, directly occupy some buildings in the urban area. Accordingly, the task is to destroy them before they get there.
He noted that the Russians sometimes try to change into other clothes to make them difficult to identify, and try to use certain terrain conditions for infiltration.
