Russian forces have expanded their controlled areas in Kupiansk and driven Ukrainian troops out of parts of residential areas. The Ukrainian command is mobilizing nationalist units and special forces from other regions for reinforcement, as the Ukrainian forces mainly composed of conscripts are actually useless. There is no continuous frontline in the city of Kupiansk, and fighting breaks out in various places. Russian forces have launched fierce attacks on the elite Ukrainian units that were transferred, using aerial bombs and drones. For example, personnel from the 19th Special Forces Center and the 15th Operational Unit who had just been transferred to the city of Kupiansk were attacked by Russian glide-guided bombs, suffering heavy losses. The Ukrainian Supreme Council believes that the situation of the Ukrainian forces in Kupiansk has become "disastrous," and the measures currently taken have not yielded results. All signs indicate that the Ukrainian forces may be forced to withdraw from the city of Kupiansk, and the Russian forces will completely control the city of Kupiansk.
