The key northeastern Ukrainian town of Kupiansk now lies only 2 kilometers (1.5 miles) from the front line as Russian troops sustain their attacks, Andrii Besedin, head of the Kupiansk town military administration, said on national television on Jan. 9.<\/p>\n

Russian troops ramped up their<\/a> efforts near Kupiansk<\/a> last September and approached its industrial outskirts in the northeast. Ukrainian forces repelled several Russian attempts<\/a> at entering the town throughout December.<\/p>\n

“The situation is very difficult; the front line is 2 kilometers from the town’s outskirts. Russia is constantly attempting to attack,” Besedin said. <\/p>\n

The Russian army<\/a> also conducted 12 attacks on Jan. 8 in the direction of the settlements of Holubivka and Petropavlika, located nearly 6 kilometers (3 miles) from Kupiansk, according to Besedin.<\/p>\n

Russian troops are trying to reach the main Svatove-Kupiansk highway to enter the eastern part of the town, Besedin added.<\/p>\n

“The situation is very difficult and threatens the Kupiansk and Vovchansk sectors (of the front line). Russia is trying to gain a foothold in the town of Dvorichna, on the western bank of the Oskil (River). If they manage to transfer equipment to the western bank, there will be a threat of a rear attack in the Vovchansk<\/a> sector and Kupiansk,” he said.<\/p>\n

Besedin added that residents of the Kupiansk community<\/a>, despite the poor infrastructure, are not in a hurry to evacuate<\/a>. On average, only five people leave the community’s 12 settlements per day.<\/p>\n

Some 900 people, primarily elderly, remain in the eastern part of the community and firmly refuse to be evacuated, according to the local military administration.<\/p>\n
