Ukrainian units now threaten Kupyansk; its acquisition would be a big blow to Russia, as it is located on the front line supply lines in Donbass.
Russian forces around Izyum are increasingly isolated, and the capture of nearby Kupyansk would be a major blow to Russia. This was stated in the intelligence review of the British Ministry of Defense on Saturday, September 10.
The British Ministry of Defense recalls that Ukrainian troops launched offensive operations in the south of the Kharkiv region on September 6 and advanced units advanced up to 50 km along a narrow front towards the territory that was previously in under Russian control.
“Perhaps the Russian troops were surprised. The sector was held of little importance, and the Ukrainian units captured or cordoned off some cities,” the analysis said.
“The Russian forces around Izyum are likely to be more isolated. Ukrainian units are now threatening Kupyansk; its capture will be a major blow to Russia, as it is located on the front supply lines line in Donbass,” British intelligence notes.
As Ukrainian operations in Kherson also continue, Russia’s front defense is under pressure on both the northern and southern flanks.
Recall that today photos of Ukrainian fighters appeared on social networks against the backdrop of the Kupyansk City Council. The Russian flag was torn down and Ukrainian flags were placed there.
The day before, the Office of the President said what role the liberation of Kupyansk played.
