Russia Claims Control of Polna, Novoalexandrovka to Cut Ukrainian Supply Lines in Kharkiv

Russia's Defense Ministry asserts that capturing Polna and Novoalexandrovka in Kharkiv Oblast will disrupt air supply to encircled Ukrainian forces. The claim is unverified and part of ongoing offensive operations, indicating a potential tactical shift to isolate Ukrainian units. If confirmed, it could signal a deterioration in Ukrainian defensive positions in the area.
