"The enemy is actually 2.5-3 kilometers away from the city of Kupyansk," Besedin said.

Every day the aggressor strikes at the community's settlements, terrorizing the local population and destroying critical infrastructure.
According to him, the general evacuation of civilians from the left bank of the Kupyansk community continues.
Due to the destruction of critical infrastructure, the settlements are left without electricity, gas and water supply. The security situation does not allow us to carry out reconstruction work there. We are constantly working to inform people about the possibility of evacuation to safer regions of Ukraine
