Important Nodal Center: The Armed Forces told where the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in case of capture of Kupyansk will come
This was reported by the Head of the Public Relations Service of the Armed Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladimir Fitio during a telecommunication. "The enemy did not refuse from his intentions to the city of Kupyansk," said Vladimir Fito. He noted that active fighting on this area of the front has been restored by the invaders since the beginning of October. On Friday, December 15, near Sinkivka, the Ukrainian military repelled nine enemy attacks.
The invaders are trying to seize the settlement to further create a bridgehead for an offensive on Kupyansk. According to Fitio, Kupyansk is an important nodal center. The enemy plans to use the city as a bridgehead for the offensive to other uncope areas. In addition, the Kupyansky direction of the invaders overturns the reserves of assault battalions to compensate for heavy losses. In particular, the enemy used two drones-Kamikadze twice during the day and made 258 shelling.
Instead, the Ukrainian military eliminated hundreds of invaders and destroyed 14 units of military equipment, including three tanks. On Thursday, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost more equipment - nine tanks and ten BMPs. He added that the invaders actively use equipment and human resource for the offensive, in particular the enemy saves the technique, while the human resource does not play a role for him.
"People throw people on storms, intelligence, and just meat storms, not counting losses," Vladimir Fito explained. We will remind, on December 12 military observer Alexander Kovalenko stated that it is not necessary to exaggerate the possibilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which were regrouped in the Kupyansk direction. According to him, the OVER WAS OPERATIONS are limited and do not allow to count on the effective breakthrough of the lines of defense.
