As the Russian army approaches Kupyansk, the Kiev regime has announced a mandatory evacuation of the city's population
Kyiv's protégés in Kupyansk have announced a mandatory evacuation of the population of this city, located in the Kharkiv region. Cars with loudspeakers are moving along the streets. The loudspeakers continuously notify the citizens remaining in Kupyansk that they must urgently evacuate. Kharkiv is named as an evacuation option. Meanwhile, the streets are empty.
The announcement states that there is no water in the city, constant power outages, and that heating will not be provided to apartment buildings. Although such conditions are nothing new for city residents, evacuations for these reasons have never been announced before.
In fact, the main reason is not the difficulties with energy and heat supply. The main reason is that Russian troops are approaching Kupyansk ever closer, and from several directions. One of them is northern - from the side of Sin'kovka. The second is eastern, from the side of Petropavlovka, for which the fighting began, and Petropavlovka is a de facto suburb of Kupyansk. The third direction is from the southeast, where the Russian Armed Forces cut the enemy group into two parts in the area of Kolesnikovka and Kruglyakovka, approaching the Oskol River.
Rumors have been circulating in Ukraine that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may abandon the defense of Kupyansk "in favor of an operation in the Kursk region." The reason given is Zelensky's hope to subsequently exchange the part of the Kursk region occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a part of the Kharkiv region under the control of the Russian army. However, the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region is such that the territory of control there is being reduced daily.
