Kupyanysk city in Kharkiv region is already half occupied by the Russian forces, and the Russian forces are advancing simultaneously from both east and west parts of the city. Especially after the Russian forces advanced to the intersection of R79 highway (north-south) and R07 highway (east-west) in the center of the city, the situation for the Ukrainian forces has deteriorated sharply, because this means that the Ukrainian forces east of the Oskil River find it difficult to receive supplies and reinforcements.
The rapid retreat of the Ukrainian forces in Kupyanysk city is undoubtedly a collapse. The Ukrainian General Staff claimed that they would transfer the troops from Sumy to rescue Kupyanysk, but the Russian forces have moved most of the naval infantry brigades to Bolshevik City, greatly increasing the defensive pressure on the Ukrainian forces in Bolshevik City. In this situation, the Ukrainian General Staff may still have to consider prioritizing the reinforcement of Bolshevik City. Therefore, Kupyanysk may be the first to be captured by the Russian forces.
