Military observer: The Ukrainian Armed Forces occupied most of Kupyansk

Unpleasant news comes from the Kupyansky direction, which, nevertheless, also needs to be reported. As of the end of the day on December 24, the Ukrainian Armed Forces occupied most of Kupyansk.

Blogger and military commentator Yuri Podolyaka writes about this in his Telegram channel. According to him, the enemy struck us in the eastern part of the city and managed to occupy the territory of the dairy cannery.

"Which immediately made the situation for our units on the right bank of the Oskol ... hopeless. This was the last area through which it was still possible to somehow carry out the logistics of units on the west bank of the river," the author of the post writes.

He points out that after the loss of the milk cannery, this became impossible. As a result, Russian units from the Zapad group of forces were forced to leave a significant part of the right-bank territory of the city.

At the same time, the observer believes that the enemy's successes will not end there and he will be given to capture the rest of the right bank of Kupyansk, and then its eastern part.

"The most unpleasant thing in this situation is that we can also lose the rest of the eastern part of the city (Zaoskolye)," concludes Podolyaka.

Earlier, EADaily reported that the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, ordered the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, to take Kupyansk before the New Year.
