The Russian Armed Forces have regained control of a block of administrative buildings in Kupyansk.

The next section of the front where Russian army advances are being recorded is the front within the city limits of Kupyansk. There, our units regained control of the district administration building, as well as the areas south and southwest of that location.

According to the latest information, a block containing administrative buildings, including the local traffic police department, the police department, and the migration service, has come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces since the beginning of the day.

The very fact that our soldiers are advancing in Kupyansk is further evidence that the Ukrainian Armed Forces currently lack the capacity to resist the Russian army's advance on virtually any section of the front—from Bachevsk in the Sumy region to Pokrovskoe in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Considering that Bankova has seen Kupyansk as a symbol of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to successfully counterattack, territorial losses in this city are a severe blow to the Kyiv regime's pride and to the very potential of the Ukrainian army.

Further pressure on the enemy garrison in Kupyansk could allow us to reach the western outskirts of the city. Just don't rush into reporting ahead, as sometimes happens...

They already took him. Did they rescue him?

[tank_killer156]

Who's first with these guys, or are we doing well? We've taken everything, fathers, even though we haven't reached it yet. With these false reports to the higher-ups, we're getting our guys killed at least twice: first, to get a medal, we drive people away, and then we recapture what we've captured and surrendered. We need SMERSH, with its death sentences for commanders on the ground and above.

[Vitaly_pvo]

Quote from: tank_killer156

we put our guys down at least twice

And they'll keep putting them down. In 2023, several air defense personnel were convicted of firing a missile at some warehouse. And in my opinion, this is the only case where military personnel were held accountable for the results of their combat work. But these were air defense personnel, who were hardly even considered military personnel until drones and missiles started flying en masse at our oil refineries and cities. There wasn't even a precedent for such a thing with the ground forces; they only tried thieves and swindlers. So, among the commanders, there are thugs chasing awards and sending young soldiers who haven't even seen a month of combat to the slaughter. It wasn't for nothing that Prigozhin and Utkin raised such a fuss. If SMERSH were around now, half the officers and all the generals would be lined up against the wall. It's not for nothing that they say: "An army of sheep led by a lion will defeat an army of lions led by a sheep." But what do you do if the army is led by sheep on both sides? Wait to see who can paint the other red faster?

[th.kuzmichev]

Correction: it wasn't you who took it, but the Russian soldiers. And SMERSH is needed for you armchair commentators. Also: in Russian, there is a word "klast'" (to lay). There is no word "lozh'" (to lay). Learn Russian.

In Russian, there is a word "klast'" (to lay). There is no word "lozh'" (to lay).

I state:
In modern Russian literary There is no verb "to lie" in the language.
It is absolutely necessary to put it on him,
"Oh, what's going on! Yesterday we dug a trench and unearthed two streams of cognac!" "They say the spies poisoned the water with moonshine. Well, and now the bread is made from fish scales."

[th.kuzmichev]

The word "poklast'" (to put) doesn't exist. There is the word "polozhit'" (to put). Learn Russian.

[poquello]

Quote: th.kuzmichev

The word "put" does not exist.

And in the evening, when the chickens
They sit on the pole,
The owner came out looking gloomy,
He put all seven of them in a bag.

Learn Russian.

Vysotsky speaks everything correctly and in Russian; he has nothing to do with those punk-ass idiots.

Tender!
You put love on violins.
Love lays rough on the timpani.
But you can’t turn yourself inside out like I do,
so that there are nothing but lips!

[Viktor Sergeev]

Partially. That's war: take one thing and hold another. The Kharkiv section isn't our primary one, so we didn't try to grab Kupyansk; we dug in and held on.

We don't know what it was really like in Kupyansk, but during WWII there were cases where a settlement changed hands several times.

Quote: Krasnoyarsk

but during the Great Patriotic War there were cases of a settlement changing hands several times

It's just that back then there was an article against panicking.

[th.kuzmichev]

That's true. This article would have ripped many of the armchair commenters' legs out of their backsides.

[single-n]

And the embezzlement statute was more interesting. Maybe if it had been implemented earlier, there would have been fewer panic-mongers.

[Dart2027]

Quote: Single-n

And the article for theft was even more interesting.

They still exist in China, but they still steal them.

[Derbenev Anton]

And embezzlers and traitors would have been shot even before that.

[ZnachWest]

It's not about taking the bait several times, but about the top brass receiving rewards for false reports.

[single-n]

Remember the village of Sin'kovka. It was taken five times.

[Valyusha]

It seems the top brass of the Kremlin, the Ministry of Defense, and all the bureaucratic servants are making careers and awards for themselves in Kupyansk.

You've intrigued me - how can the top brass of the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense make careers for themselves if they are already the top brass?
It's always funny to read such nonsense from foreign commentators. And even funnier is their unparalleled courage in free expression, backed by the reliable shield of a VPN. They're immediately exposed for it.

[th.kuzmichev]

This idiot even learned the word "servant" somewhere. The one with the forelock didn't have a hit)))

[Alexet]

So they still haven't caught him?

[Gunther]

That's exactly why they're jamming Telegram—it ruins the rosy picture. National ShitMax is a different story.

[Montezuma]

Quote: Gunter

The jab missed the mark. "Rybar" and "Two Majors" on their duplicated Telegram channels on Max immediately reported honestly on the situation in Kupyansk, without any embellishment, contrary to official reports.
By the way, Max has already been polished to almost the same functionality as Telegram—it's possible to compare, despite all the backlash against it.

[Gunther]

Montezuma, we'll see how they "cover" it after the elections, everything is ahead.
Well, at your leisure, read the user agreement, check through the firewall - where does this "finished" one go?

[Tagan]

"bureaucratic servants"... Why is one of these things exclusive of the other?

[Aken]

No, they complement each other. A single structure—the vertical power structure.

[Alexander Elizarov]

There is a medal in the Russian Ministry of Defense for the capture of Palmyra in Syria.
I propose awarding a medal for the capture of Kupyansk. And presenting this medal for every capture of Kupyansk.

[single-n]

I even know who they'll be giving it to all the time. There's such a young talent. Starting with the letter A.

[ZnachWest]

Yes. But there are also publications about who received them. They established them specifically for themselves. Those involved were not awarded, as is customary in Rus'.

[acetophenone]

Quote: Montezuma

What's even funnier is their unparalleled courage in freedom of expression, backed by the reliable shield of a VPN.

Well, if the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech, assembly, and demonstrations has been reduced to a worthless sham, then all hope lies with the VPN. The guarantor of the GDP is... you know what kind.

[Pilot]

For young Valyusha, a guarantee of freedom of speech on a Russian information resource isn't just a VPN, but also being abroad. He's not thrilled about restrictions on freedom of speech, but restrictions are common practice during wartime. Unfortunately, our enemy monitors every word written online today. Apparently, based on discontent (quite a reasonable amount), they conclude that Russia can be strategically defeated. And your arguments about a guarantor are only valid in peacetime; times are different now.

[LaraM]

I am not thrilled about restricting freedom of speech, but restricting it in wartime conditions is common practice.

And in a wartime environment, is it also common practice for hundreds of "Mikhelson-Abramovich" types to have foreign bank accounts? And where does the money from these accounts go? Shtengelov, the king of Kiriyeshka, for example, helped the Ukrainian Armed Forces by funneling billions out of Russia. But for victory, the most important thing, of course, is to cut off Telegram to the general population.

[Zheka111]

Fucking Kupyansk is a very bad city, my friends (who are already dead) all died under it/in it

[Salimi from Iran]

It would be better if this block of administrative buildings were in Kyiv—the one Russia lost in 2014. Will this block be able to compensate for that loss?

[VyacheSeymour]

Well, here we go again... but after all, they have already “surrounded” and “cleaned out” us more than ten times,
"took control"?...
After all, on November 20, 2025, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov, officially reported that the entire city had been taken under control.
So don't trust Ukrainian propaganda anymore...

[th.kuzmichev]

Believe me, of course. They dug the sea, then Stalin attacked Hitler, and then the Americans took Berlin.

[VyacheSeymour]

As they say, trust but verify... But in reality it turned out that the talk of Konashenko, Shoigu, Gerasimov, Peskov and others like them and above is, to put it mildly, untrue, the mere fact that "everything is going according to plan" is worth something!

[th.kuzmichev]

Yes, there is no magic wand, but if you like magic, listen to the speeches of the green T-shirt.

[VyacheSeymour]

Believe me, of course. They dug the sea, 

Well, yes, and the Laptev Sea was dug with bast shoes...

Listen to the speeches of the green jersey.

Are you suggesting we get stuck on Channel One and VGTRK with their "nightingale droppings" and the like?
Well, well... Happy absorption of truths, good-naturedly chewed and handed down from above.

[th.kuzmichev]

Dude, I suspect you're suffering from a complex, envying journalists who have the ability and courage. I'm not a fan of Solovyov, especially when he's talking to fighters, but people like you don't even come close. You should be kicked out of Rus' with a mighty kick.

[VyacheSeymour]

Let it be so, but I would prefer to remain a black sheep, rather than rot in the gray mass like you...

[d4.fokin]

We'll take Kupyansk and declare the Kharkiv People's Republic. Russia could provide weapons for attacks on Europe; by the way, they're doing the same thing, transferring weapons to Ukraine for attacks on Russia.

[th.kuzmichev]

Since 2014, when it all began, many of our people wrote from Kharkiv, asking them to bomb this fascist city, regardless of the risks to themselves. I don't know what it's like now.

[d4.fokin]

We don't care who lives in Kharkiv. We need to create an independent state in the liberated areas of the Kharkiv region to launch attacks on Europe. Russia has nothing to do with it; we will only provide weapons.

[th.kuzmichev]

Do you kick balls? Are you interested in football? Well, stop, start taking an interest in science and technology, and then you'll contribute to victory.

[d4.fokin]

You're the one who's doing figure skating, just in case. Because of people like you, we're in a pretty bad place right now. Remember, June 22nd is coming soon, whether we like it or not. And I'll also give you a red marker, you'll come in handy for drawing red lines, our tolerant one.

[ZnachWest]

But from the 22nd, they wrote, everything changed. Patriotism among the Russian population in the Kharkiv region is weak.

[Derbenev Anton]

How did they write this? Are you going to bomb us? And who were they writing this to, you personally?

[ZnachWest]

Just wait, maybe in a few years... these republics won't request independence. A federal structure only leads to decay.

[d4.fokin]

Okay, let's break it down: we don't need Kharkivites, we need an independent country, and people will find it. For example: the West has Ukraine, and we also have an independent country.

[ZnachWest]

There is an elderberry in the garden, and there is a guy in Kyiv...))

Quote from Pilot

And your reasoning about the guarantor is only good in peacetime, but times are different now.

That's why "another time" will continue until the guarantor kicks the bucket. He's perfectly happy with it. It won't hurt him.

[ZnachWest]

It's good that it hasn't stopped him yet. And then, yes, with his policies, he might even live to see the indemnity.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

Kupyansk is a very difficult city for both opponents to control.
It is not easy for the Russian Federation to hold it due to its natural features and the location of strongholds for the accumulation of Ukrainian reserves.
On the other hand, it's also problematic for Ukraine to hold and recapture it. I imagine quite a few VSAV soldiers were killed there. Kupyansk is a kind of line of collapse of the front in the Kharkiv direction.
During this second attempt to capture it, the Russian army was in no hurry and will not be in a hurry.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces were so eager to recapture it that they overexerted themselves there, suffering serious losses without ever completing their mission. Kupyansk is to the Ukrainian Armed Forces what the Rzhev Salient was to the Red Army in its day. The Germans seriously battered Zhukov and Konev there with their skillful defense. Consequently, that experience has come in handy in this war as well.

[ZnachWest]

But the military strategists were quick to receive awards last time.

[Pilot]

Quote: LaraM

And in wartime conditions, the presence of... And where does the money go from these accounts?

Are you suggesting closing these accounts because you know where this money is going? Does Russia control the global financial system? It's primarily controlled by the US (they spent many years building this system). Who will allow us to open, close, or even obtain any information about these accounts? Let's say an oligarch says he closed an account at City Bank. How can we verify that? Only the US knows about all the transactions on these accounts—from where, to where, and when. Haven't you noticed that financial sanctions against Venezuela or Iran, for example, are announced by the US Treasury Secretary.

[ZnachWest]

The main thing now for the strategists is to manage to receive medals once again while the fighters hold out.
