Russia is trying to capture the village of Synkivka in Kharkiv Oblast, hoping to pave the way for the blockade of nearby Kupiansk, Ground Forces Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on Dec. 11. Moscow has been concentrating a large force at the Kupiansk-Lyman axis in northeastern Ukraine since the summer, and heavy engagements and shelling have been a common occurrence.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has claimed that Ukrainian special services were behind the blowing up in June of a gas pipeline in the settlement of Koreiz in occupied Crimea, and that the saboteur has been detained and allegedly admitted his involvement in it.
