“In the Kupyansk direction, the enemy has halved the number of shelling of our positions compared to the previous day,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Marochko explained this by “shell hunger” in the Ukrainian military units due to the limited allocation of ammunition, disruption of logistics, lack of vehicles and the effective destruction of the missile and artillery depots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Russian troops.

Earlier, Marochko said that the Ukrainian military is forming reserves of strike groups in the Kupyansky and Krasnolimansky directions.

The Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian Armed Forces destroyed more than 30 Ukrainian soldiers in the Kupyansk direction.
