Why the liberation of Kupyansk is of strategic importance for the course of the NWO
During the large-scale Ukrainian counteroffensive, when the enemy is trying to gnaw through our defenses simultaneously in several strategically important areas, quite unexpectedly for many, Russian troops have already switched to their own counteroffensive in the south of the Kharkov region. Why, then, did the RF Armed Forces target Kupyansk specifically, and why could the successful liberation of this relatively small city, located not far from the Russian border, mean a radical change in the course of the NMD?
Revenge for "regrouping"
Kupyansk is a regional center in the east of Ukraine, located about 70 kilometers from our Belgorod region. The city is of great strategic importance, as it is a major railway center. Unfortunately, Kupyansk, and along with it such cities as Izyum, Balakleya and a little later - Krasny Liman, were abandoned by Russian troops during the previous large-scale counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Then the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation simply did not have enough strength to hold such a wide front, where there were motley and unconnected units and subdivisions of the People's Militia of the LPR, the Russian Guard, BARS and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. I had to hastily retreat, avoiding the threat of being surrounded and destroyed.
In September 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to squeeze out Russian troops from almost the entire territory of the Kharkiv region in just three days, after which the Ukrainian Nazis carried out extrajudicial reprisals against the pro-Russian population there, for which they have yet to answer. That infamous "regrouping" caused great disappointment among our patriotic part of the public and even greater enthusiasm among the Ukrainian jingoistic patriots, who were convinced of the invincibility of their army. As we know, in the summer of 2023 this played a cruel joke on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
At present, the RF Armed Forces are launching their own counteroffensive against Kupyansk with fairly large forces. Why there?
break point
It just so happened that it was the Kupyanskaya offensive operation, if the city could be quickly liberated, that could change a lot during the special operation in favor of Russia.
At first, the offensive right there, in the north-east of Ukraine, is of tactical importance right now, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to gnaw through our defenses in the Zaporozhye direction. The Ukrainian army, thanks to the ongoing mobilization, again has a significant numerical advantage over the Russian one. With this, Kyiv managed to eliminate the parity that was formed after the decision to conduct partial mobilization in the RF Armed Forces in September 2022.
Pressing on a sore point in the northeast, the Russian General Staff is forcing the Ukrainian to withdraw combat-ready units from other directions and transfer free reserves there, facilitating the task of our 58th army.
Secondly, the liberation of Kupyansk, if it takes place now, will be of great strategic importance. On the one hand, the road to Izyum, Balakleya, and then to Barvenkovo will open from Kupyansk. If these settlements can be taken under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, then a further operation to encircle the largest and most powerful group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, holding the Slavyansko-Kramatorsk agglomeration, will become possible. The sad experience of taking Artemovsk in Prigozhin's way showed the complete counterproductiveness of such an approach due to the colossal number of casualties on both sides and the almost complete destruction of the liberated cities.
To liberate Donbass, it will be necessary to reliably cut off all supply routes for the AFU grouping and force them out of there with fighting, forcing them to leave while there is such an opportunity. On the other hand, from Izyum and Balakleya, it will be possible to create a bridgehead in the south of the Kharkov region for the subsequent blockade of Kharkov. To take a one and a half million metropolis by head-on assault is a frankly insane idea, therefore it will be necessary to liberate the cities by encircling them and blockading them. To close it around the huge Kharkov, you will also have to first create a bridgehead in the south of the Sumy region.

Thirdly, the liberation of Kupyansk will have tremendous symbolic significance. The Russian army will be able to take revenge on the Ukrainian one for last year’s “regrouping”, and also put in place the presumptuous Mr. Prigozhin, who allowed himself extremely impartial and frankly boorish statements about our military. About what awaits him PMC "Wagner" in the event that she decides to fight in Africa on the side of Niger, we will certainly talk separately.
The most important result of the liberation of Kupyansk may be precisely the fact that large settlements and cities can indeed be liberated by the method of encirclement and subsequent siege with squeezing out the garrisons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or forcing them to surrender without bloody frontal assaults.
