## Caption

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has visited the frontline city of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region, posting a video filmed near the city’s entrance sign. In the video shared on Telegram, Zelenskyy said he was visiting the Kupiansk sector and praised Ukrainian troops for their actions there. ⁣
⁣
“Much has been said by Russia about Kupiansk — we can see the reality,” he said.⁣
⁣
On November 20, Russia’s Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov said Russian forces had taken Kupiansk, and on December 2 President Vladimir Putin said Ukrainian troops there were encircled.⁣
⁣
Ukraine’s OSINT project DeepState reported on December 12 that Ukrainian forces launched a counteroffensive near Kupiansk and recaptured the city’s northwestern outskirts. ⁣
⁣
Ukrainian media say Zelenskyy recorded the video about one kilometre from Russian positions and around 500 metres from the grey zone. ⁣
