Russian forces have broken through the Ukrainian defense lines east of Red Army City. The central Russian group advancing from Razine has reached the suburbs of Rogizhne and even reached the town of Kupiansk (which shares the same name as another important town, Kupiansk). General Shyrskei did not expect the Russians to dare a bold assault, and now the situation is complicated. If a large number of troops are not sent to block them, the Russians will soon capture Rogizhne. If the Russians take Rogizhne, Red Army City will only have one passage to the west and one E50 highway, which has been under Russian drone fire since the beginning of this year, and its logistics capability is far worse than before the war. It's easy to imagine the situation of the Ukrainian forces in Red Army City and its satellite city of Dmytrivka: they will be unable to hold on and suffer heavy losses if they try to escape under the various Russian firepower attacks.
