Russian Military Push Back Ukrainian Counteroffensive in Kupiansk Ukrainian troops, utilizing small assault groups in high-rise buildings, encountered challenges similar to those faced by Russian forces during the city's capture. They struggled to establish a defense quickly while evading detection. In response, Russian artillery and aviation targeted vulnerable points, such as poorly fortified positions, hindering Ukrainian progress. The Russian military successfully broke through the encirclement near key locations like dairy-canning and sugar factories, Sidorrenko Street, and the city's southwest. Although fragmented Ukrainian assault groups remain in the area, there is now an opportunity to enhance the situation and provide support to Russian army fighters in these sectors of Kupiansk, located in the Kharkiv region.
