Within the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian Army's 151st and 116th Mechanized Brigades, as well as the National Guard's 1st and 13th Brigades, launched six attacks in the Kupiansk direction, attempting to break through the encirclement in the areas of Kupiansk-Uzlovaya, Osinovo, and Sadovo. In addition, the areas of Monachinovka and Nechovolodovka were also attacked by the Ukrainian Army. However, the Ukrainian forces have not achieved any results, and all offensives were repelled by the Russian forces.
Due to the complete cutting off of supply lines for the Ukrainian forces surrounded east of the Oskil River, the Ukrainian forces used "Baba Yaga"-style six-rotor drones to drop ammunition, medicines, and food to the Ukrainian forces east of the Oskil River. Within the past 24 hours, Russian mobile fire groups have shot down a total of 16 supply drones of the Ukrainian forces. The Russian side stated that the losses of these six-axis and eight-axis drones are rapidly increasing, increasingly affecting the operations of the Ukrainian forces, as these six-axis and eight-axis drones are usually used as unmanned bombers at night. In addition, according to Ukrainian sources, due to the proximity of the Ukrainian drone operators to the Oskil River, the losses in recent weeks have been very heavy.
However, the supplies delivered by the six-axis and eight-axis drones cannot meet the needs of the Ukrainian forces surrounded in Kupiansk, especially medical supplies are more scarce, because the supply lines have been cut off, the Ukrainian forces cannot evacuate the wounded, and the number of wounded on the front line is large. Currently, Ukrainian soldiers in Kupiansk are continuously surrendering to the Russian forces, although there are no organized surrenders, but individual or small group surrenders to the Russian forces have continued, and the total number of surrenders is quite significant.
