Ukrainian authorities have ordered the mandatory evacuation of Kupiansk city in the north-eastern Kharkiv region as Russian forces press closer and officials face difficulty providing services through the winter. Kupiansk fell to Russian forces in the weeks after their February 2022 invasion, but was retaken by Ukrainian troops later that year. The Kharkiv regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said: “On the east bank of the Oskil River, which divides the city, we can no longer guarantee the restoration of electricity, heat and water supply due to constant shelling. All repair crews immediately come under Russian fire.” The order also applied to the town of Borova, further south and near the city of Izium.
