Similarly ridiculous claims have been made by Gerasimov in the Kupyansk direction.
Based on his wording, it appears that they still consider Kupyansk, Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi, and surrounding settlements as under Russian control, while Russian forces supposedly continue an offensive west towards Shevchenkove.
He also claims that Russian forces captured Kutkivka (yellow square) and are engaged in fighting for Velyka Shapkivka (green square).
