Today, analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that during January 20, Putin’s army advanced somewhat along the Kupyansk-Svatovo-Kremennaya front line, and was able to capture the village of Krakhmalnoye in the Kharkov region, and now The Armed Forces of Ukraine appreciated the “successes” of the invaders.

About the fact that the occupation of Krakhmalny is just a temporary situation, allowing the “second army of the world” to justify the loss of “manpower” of more than 7,000 people since the beginning of 2024 in this direction, writes “NBN”, referring to the explanation voiced by the head of the public relations service of the command of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vladimir Fityo, during the telethon broadcast on the TSN YouTube channel.
According to Fityo, Kakhmalnoye is a fairly small settlement, in which, before the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation, 45 people lived in 5 houses (already destroyed by the invaders).
The Speaker of the Ground Forces emphasized, that the key goal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is to preserve the lives of the defenders, and therefore the fighters retreated to pre-prepared reserve positions near the village described above, where at the current stage they are holding the defense, preventing the enemies from advancing further, or creating any threat to neighboring units of our army.
Fityo added that the capture of Starch should not be made into a tragedy, since only Kremlin propagandists consider this “victory” to be real, and not “Pyrrhic,” trying to show the loss of 7 ;055 “good Russians” on the front near the Khortitsa responsibility zone are justified.
A representative of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized:
Therefore, less  ;— a meter or two, they are already shouting that they have taken Berlin.
Earlier we wrote that the ISW showed the successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line as of the morning of 20 – January.
