The Armed Forces repelled the Russian forces in the Kupyan direction.
In the Kupyansk (Svativsk) direction, during the first eighteen hours of January 26, the fighters of the Defense Forces repelled twelve attacks by the Russian invaders near Tabaivka, Kharkiv region, and Stelmakhivka, Luhansk region.
In turn, blogger and fighter of the 24th separate assault battalion “Aidar” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Stanislav Bunyatov (Osman) told about the news from the northern face of the Kupyansk direction:
“A new reserve of orcs has arrived on Liman, 90% of them are 18-20 years old. They will then complain: “Don’t kill me, I’m only 18.”
“In the direction of the First Estuary, the orcs want to push towards the swamp (Lake Estuary), they really want to get a foothold there.”
