The occupiers have begun placing flags in supply packages for their own military, which are being dropped on the city by drone.
“At least one such “operation” has already taken place – we expect a quick and somewhat truncated video at the end in all Russian media,” the military said, calling such a simulation a “Potemkin takeover.”
Literally: “On behalf of the defenders of Ukraine, we declare: the occupation of the city is not something that can be imitated. Despite the statements of Vladimir Putin and the General Assembly of the Russian Federation about the “encirclement” of the city and the Ukrainian forces in it, most of Kupyansk is controlled by the Defense Forces of Ukraine, and groups of Russians in the northern regions are cut off from ground supplies. The current action is an attempt to make a good mine in a bad game and cover up the obvious lies of the head of the Russian regime.”
What preceded: On November 11, Viktor Tregubov, the head of the United Forces group’s communications department, said that the Russian occupying forces are trying to hold positions in the northern districts of the city of Kupyansk, while Ukrainian units are actively conducting counterattacks, knocking the enemy out of fortifications.
