The Ukrainian General Staff has dismissed the commanders of the 14th Mechanised Brigade and the 10th Army Corps following a scandal over severe supply shortages in the Kupyansk direction. Leaked photos showed frontline troops without food or water, with soldiers reporting fainting from hunger and drinking rainwater after Russian strikes destroyed supply lines across the Oskol River. The previous brigade command was accused of concealing the crisis from higher headquarters as positions were lost. Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov claims Ukrainian units south of Kupyansk-Uzlovy are now encircled, with fighting on the eastern bank of the Oskol concluded.
