Quote from Fito: "Right, the Russian invaders have never abandoned their intentions to march on Kupiansk and seek to recapture it.

Ukrainian defenders repelled four enemy attacks in the area near [the settlements of] Synkivka and Ivanivka.

The enemy is trying to reach Synkivka in order to expand its further advance on Kupiansk.

We see that the enemy is stepping up their activity, regardless of the losses in military personnel and equipment, and does not give up their plans, trying to push through the Ukrainian defence and find some weak spot there."
