Russian troops evacuate women and children from Kupyansk over Ukrainian counterattacks

Russian troops claim they have begun evacuating women and children from the Ukrainian city of Kupyansk, a major transport hub in the eastern region of Kharkiv. “We are being forced to bring the population, at least women and children, to safety because the city is subject to rocket attacks by Ukrainian military units,” said the head of the Russian-appointed military government Vitali Ganchev, according to state news agency TASS.
