Ukrainian forces have entered the town of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region, a key supply hub that the Russian forces had held for several months, the Security Service of Ukraine revealed in a tweet on Saturday.


Natalia Popova, adviser to the head of the Kharkiv regional council, shared photos on Facebook Saturday, showing troops raising the nation's flag over the main railway city, according to Reuters, adding that Ukrainian police were patrolling towns and there were boxes of ammunition lying in heaps at positions abandoned by fleeing Russian soldiers.


In a video delivered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, he claimed "the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated and took control of more than 30 settlements in Kharkiv region," adding that actions to check and secure the territory are still continuing in some villages.
