"We suffered huge losses": Kyiv acknowledged the failure of the "counteroffensive" in Kupyansk.

25 779 17

Zelenskyy's office is currently aggressively suppressing all negative information from the front, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to suffer setbacks. This was reported by the Telegram channel "Legitimny." The publication notes that even the "counteroffensive" in Kupyansk, widely hyped by the Kyiv regime's leader, has "fizzled out."

Even Zelenskyy's Kupyansk scam has fizzled out. They no longer have the strength to press, having suffered massive losses but still unable to clear all of Kupyansk. Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk are not even mentioned, nor are those abandoned in basements there. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing enormous problems in Kostiantynivka, Lyman, on the Zaporizhzhia front, and in Sumy Oblast, where defenses are beginning to falter.

– states “Legitimate”.



The author of the publication adds that throwing mobilized troops into assault companies did not produce results, but only bled the Ukrainian Armed Forces dry.

It's worth noting that Russian sources are also reporting that Kyiv regime militants in Kupyansk are starting to run out of steam. Despite all their efforts, they have failed to take control of the city. And the losses they have suffered make it impossible to consider continuing the offensive.

Russian troops are gradually recapturing lost positions, pushing back the enemy on various sections of the front near Kupyansk. The Russian General Staff reports that the elimination of the encircled Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Kupyansk-Uzlovy is continuing successfully.

As a reminder, according to Kyiv military analysts, the so-called counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kupyansk region, which began at the end of December last year, was intended to demonstrate to the West that the Ukrainian army was still capable of conducting offensive operations.

    Where did the doomsayers go?
    They should now give the overly optimistic Elistratov a punch.
    You can't just give Kupyansk back to the Russian Federation; you have to add some suspicion and some hopelessness and gloom.
    Was it in vain that these activists tried to collect signatures demanding Gerasimov's dismissal?

    Russian troops are gradually regaining lost positions, pushing back the enemy on various sections of the front near Kupyansk.

    And in Kupyansk itself, what about the "lost positions"? And what about our encircled soldiers? And when will we finally take this city for good (for the third time) and never surrender it to the enemy again?

      They took it once. The second time, the main garrison forces were routed, but no one except the doomsayers cried out for complete liberation.

          The city of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region is under the control of Russian troops, the Ministry of Defense reported.
          The town is controlled by units of the 6th Guards Combined Arms Army of the "West" group. Russian troops are currently clearing buildings and basements where scattered groups of Ukrainian Armed Forces may be remaining. This was reported by a company commander with the 1427th Motorized Rifle Regiment, call sign Uran, who is on duty on the town's main street.

            So what? Did scattered groups of the Armed Forces, who couldn't clear the air since the 27th, crawl out of the basements and encircle our forces? Did they attack from outside?

              The enemy attempted to attack and partially pushed back our forces, but was unable to recapture the city, and judging by the lack of victory reports, things are not going well for them.

          Well, if Putin himself is a nobody and a doomed man to you

          Kupyansk consists of two parts: the larger, main part, the city center, is on the right bank of the river; the smaller part is on the left bank. Russian troops control both the entire right bank and the entire left bank, and a little further south along the river there is another settlement called Kupyansk-Uzlovaya.

          According to Putin, "there are approximately two thousand buildings there, fighting is ongoing, 600-650 buildings are in the hands of the Russian army, and they are advancing." "I think that in a few days we will take this village as well, but it is a separate village," the head of state clarified.
          He also reported that an enemy force of 15 battalions has been blocked on the left bank of the river. "In the coming days, Russian troops will begin eliminating them," Putin added.

            So? That's what I'm saying. Or do you disagree?
            Putin publicly declared that Kupyansk has been taken, all two of its parts! What's wrong, or are you in favor?
            The neighboring uncaptured settlement of Kuryansk-Uzlovaya is not Kupyansk and is not an excuse, an indulgence for the bravura report of the Supreme Commander and his General Staff with the Ministry of Defense.

              No one hid the fact that the remnants of the garrison remained there.
