On Monday, November 13, Russian forces attempted to breach Ukrainian defenses in the Kupiansk sector, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.

Starting at 2:30 PM local time, Russian assault groups launched four waves of attacks on Ukrainian positions, employing approximately 15 vehicles, including tanks, armored combat vehicles, and a UR-77 mine-clearing system.

The General Staff noted that some Russian soldiers were disguised in Ukrainian Armed Forces uniforms. This violates the laws and rules of warfare and constitutes a war crime.

Ukrainian defenders successfully halted the assault, destroying all enemy vehicles and inflicting significant personnel losses.
