According to the spokesman, the Kupyansk forces of the Russian Federation try to penetrate sabotage and intelligence groups of 2-5 people.
“They are trying to use their numbers, leak through the positions of the Ukrainian military and later occupy some buildings,” Tregubov explained.
The spokesman says that the Armed Forces are destroying the forces of the Russian Federation before they have time to enter the residential building, to prevent consolidation in the city.
Tregubov also reported that “the invaders are constantly striking from artillery, drone and other types of weapons.”
“It is actually a front city,” Tregubov emphasized.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said on September 18 that, as part of the Dobropilsk counter -offensive operation, the Ukrainian military freed 160 square kilometers and seven settlements.
At the same time, judging by the DeepState project, the Russian army broke through the Armed Forces of Ukraine east of Kupyansk – near the village of Stepova Novoselivka. The Gray Zone here already covers the Kupyansk -Lysychansk highway, which apparently plays an important role in the defense of the bridgehead of Ukrainian defenders on the left bank of the Oskil River.
On September 5, the operative-strategic group of the Dnipro troops stated that the Russian army has the task of seizing the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd agglomeration in the fall, in particular, it refers to three cities-Dobropillya, Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.
