Ukraine is tightening control over Kupiansk and blocking Russia’s attempts to use the city as a bargaining chip in negotiations, The Washington Post reports.

Russian troops are trying to enter the city in small groups, crossing the river and even moving through an unused gas pipeline. Ukrainian drones track and eliminate them before they can gain a foothold. According to the article, these are isolated incursions with no territorial control.

Ukrainian commanders say Moscow hoped to leverage Kupiansk in talks, but those plans have failed.

Fighting continues in small groups. Supplies and evacuations are carried out mainly by drones. A full clearance may take several more months, but Russia’s presence remains limited, and heavy equipment is not being brought into the city.

«Поскольку мы импортируем газ из двух основных стран – Ирана и России, в Иране возникли определенные проблемы из-за известных обстоятельств, а проблемы с Россией связаны с Верхним Ларсом, но эта проблема будет решена очень скоро, так как импорт сжиженного газа в Армению начнется по железной дороге, российский сжиженный газ очень скоро будет поступать в Армению через территорию Азербайджана. Обсуждается вариант импорта сжиженного газа из России в Армению по железной дороге», – сказала она.

На вопрос о том, когда это станет возможным, пресс-секретарь ответила: «Скоро», не уточнив конкретную дату.

Отмечается, что в последние дни цена на сжиженный газ в Армении выросла почти вдвое.

بيان إلى الرأي العام بخصوص الأوضاع الأخيرة في سجن الشدادة

منذ ساعات صباح اليوم، تعرّض سجن الشدادة، الذي يضم آلاف السجناء من عناصر تنظيم داعش الإرهابي، لهجمات متكررة نفذتها فصائل دمشق.

وقد تصدّى مقاتلو قوّات سوريا الديمقراطية لهذه الهجمات، وتمكّنوا من كسرها عدة مرات، مقدّمين عشرات الشهداء والجرحى لمنع وقوع كارثة أمنية.

ورغم أن سجن الشدادة يقع على بُعد نحو كيلومترين فقط من قاعدة التحالف الدولي في المنطقة، إلا أن القاعدة لم تتدخل رغم الدعوات المتكررة.

وإذ نحيط الرأي العام علماً، فإننا نؤكد أن سجن الشدادة خرج حالياً عن سيطرة قوّاتنا.
