According to Ukrainian media reports, the Ukrainian National Guard deployed in Kupiansk is preventing Ukrainian military units attempting to evacuate their positions from leaving the city. Currently, detachments of the Ukrainian National Guard have completely blockaded the evacuation routes out of Kupiansk.
As early as July, Ukraine announced the redeployment of National Guard units to Kupiansk, not to resist Russian forces, but as a supervisory team. According to Russian media reports, incidents have already occurred in Kupiansk where National Guard members opened fire on Ukrainian soldiers. A sniper and drone operator from a National Guard detachment, serving as a supervisory team, killed a group of soldiers from the 144th Independent Infantry Brigade who were evacuating Kupiansk. Russian drones flying over saw only the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.
