The United States has been directly informed about the encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Kupyansk and Pokrovske, as well as about the successful test of the nuclear missile “Burevestnik.”
The kremlin spokesperson previously reported that Russian forces have surrounded approximately 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers in two regions.
