The current situation in Kupiansk, the western part of the city across the Oskil River has been basically occupied by Russian forces, and nearly half of the eastern part of the city has also been occupied by Russian forces.
Although the Ukrainian forces have repeatedly sent reinforcements, they have not been able to break through the Russian offensive. Now, the Ukrainian forces no longer hope to recapture Kupiansk, but instead want to bring back the Ukrainian forces on the left bank of the Oskil River, to prevent them from being annihilated by the Russians. However, the Russians are not allowing the Ukrainian attempt to succeed, so they keep attacking the pontoon bridge that the Ukrainian forces have built over the Oskil River. Therefore, the fate of the Ukrainian forces on the left bank of the Oskil River is grim.
