Russia says has control of key Ukrainian city of Kupiansk

Russia said Tuesday it was in control of the key city of Kupiansk in northeastern Ukraine, the scene of intense fighting in recent weeks.

"The city of Kupiansk is under the control of the Fifth Russian Army," Leonid Sharov, head of the Zapad group of troops, told state news agency TASS, after Russia claimed to have captured the city in November -- followed by Ukraine saying it had reclaimed parts of it.
