Russia wants to take Kupyansk without going into it: the military opened the details (video)

"Since [the enemy] cannot squeeze the Kupyansk-Lover, cannot squeeze and force in the area of the settlement Kruglyakivka (…), he took himself as a tactic bypassing Kupyansk from the northwestern neighborhood. That is, bypassing it, we will not go to the city. The Left Bank, and thus, taking into the pressure, try to force the forces of defense to leave the city of Kupyansk itself, " - said the military on Radio NV on August 4.

He assured that the defenders understand the intentions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and blocked them. Over the past two weeks, the occupiers have failed to move even a meter. In addition, the Ukrainian forces are working to improve their position and restore positions where possible. The advanced collision line is also compacted. "And Kharkiv - who has been, he knows - it is a region where nature, as behind me, is not the most delicate landing.

There are such landings that you are not visible at all, you stand in front of it," Fedorenko said. According to him, using the landscape, the Russians try to seep between the combat orders of defense forces without a fight. Due to the compaction of the areas of the greatest hostile activity and control of the terrain from the sky due to UAVs, defenders strike and do not allow the Russian Federation to realize their plans.

"And they would very much wanted until August 24, before the Independence Day of Ukraine, to hang that cloth - I mean now the flag of the Russian Federation, somewhere near the city of Kupyansk or closer, let's just say, to these areas," the commander emphasized. He explained that Kupyansk is so desirable for the enemy, because he seeks to get control over railroading, as it was in 2022.

In addition, there is also a political component-Russian President Vladimir Putin is important to show "any result". We will remind, in CNN July 30 reported the threat of the environment for Pokrovsk, Konstantinovka and Kupyansk in the coming weeks. It was noted that this would lead to three separate crises. On the night of August 4, Russian sources began to disseminate information about the capture of the Geptivka checkpoint at the border with the Kharkiv region.
