Kupyansk has fallen, as Russian advances overwhelm Ukrainian defenses.

And so it happened that Russian forces have reportedly conquered (or, as they would prefer, liberated) the northern logistical center of Kupyansk.

We have reported about this battle here in TGP back in September: Putin Says Ukrainian Military Is in CRITICAL Condition, as Russian Forces Break Into Kupyansk and Advance Into Dnipropetrovsk Region (VIDEOS).

Now, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov received a military-clad President Vladimir Putin in the headquarters of the Vostok (Western) military group to announce the conquest of Kupyansk.

Needless to say, as they’ve done in every single city they’ve lost in this war, Kiev regime denies the information.

Reuters reported:

“The chief of Russia’s general staff told President Vladimir Putin on Thursday that Russian forces had taken control of the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kupiansk, but Ukraine’s military denied the city had changed hands.

Ukraine also dismissed Russian statements that its forces had taken over large parts of two other towns — Pokrovsk, a logistics hub it has been pressing to capture for months, and Vovchansk, near the Russian border.”

Military Affairs reported:

“Russia’s takeover of Kupyansk, described by experts as a major blow to Ukraine’s command and defenses, exposes the gap between official claims and the situation on the ground.”

Russian military analyst Andrey Marochko told RIA Novosti that the loss of Kupyansk will deal a double blow to Ukraine’s command structure — damaging its reputation and destabilizing the entire defensive line in this sector.

He stressed that for Kiev, the fall of Kupyansk is a painful setback. The city served as a pivotal hub, crucial both for logistics and for maintaining the front.”

Meanwhile, Russia’s UN envoy ambassador Vasily Nebenzya says leaked documents show Ukraine lost over 1.7 million troops during the war.
