Russian forces have renewed attempts to push into Kupyansk, Kharkiv Oblast, by sending infantry through industrial gas pipelines connected to the town, Ukrainian military spokesman Viktor Tregubov said on April 24.

Tregubov told Suspilne public broadcaster that Holubivka, north of Kupyansk, remains a problem.

"They have again renewed attempts to get through Holubivka and through the pipelines," he said. "The pipelines are still there; despite heavy losses, the Russians are trying to get through."

Tregubov said Russian troops are also trying to attack along the entire contact line on the left bank of the Oskil River, with particularly active operations aimed at Kivsharivka. He dismissed Russian claims that they are already in nearby Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi rail junction as exaggerated.
