In Kupyansk, the Armed Forces hit the pipe with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: whether the Russians went to the city center (map)

Focus gathered statements by the Armed Forces on the situation in the settlement. On the morning of September 18, a comment from the Dnipro spokesman Alexei Belsky appeared for the media "RBC-Ukraine" regarding the events in Kupyansk. According to the command, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation penetrated the outskirts of the city by Radkivka and Golubivka, acting in small groups from two to nine people. However, in the center of the settlement there are no Russians, the presenter assured.

"Information about hostilities in the city center is not true. The invaders are destroying, some are captured," Belsky's media said. According to command, Russians who have penetrated Kupyansk have clear tasks. In particular, they have home addresses: they have to capture them, to kill them 18-60 years, and "women and children are used as a live shield.

" Belsky assured that the units of Oron forces do everything possible to clean Kupyansk from the saboteurs of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The commander of the 429th Regiment of Achilles Unmanned Systems Yuriy Fedorenko told "Espresso" that the Ukrainian military is watching the movement of the Russians and disrupting another attempt to penetrate the city. According to him, it was possible to blow up the pipe that the enemy tried to get into Kupyansk.

After that, the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost the opportunity to move underground and again began to cross through Oskil. "Because of this, the enemy is again forced to cross the Oskil River to replenish its bridgehead on the right bank. That is, it is an open terrain that allows you to better identify the enemy and destroy," the military explained.

Fedorenko stressed that it is impossible to clearly say whether the Russian Federation seized some districts of Kupyansk: there are many saboteurs, but they are "constantly detected and constantly destroying. " The military explained why the Russian command seeks to occupy Kupyansk and Kupyansk. The purpose of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is political tasks and logistics. "The situation in this direction is very tense.

Forced to state - the enemy understands the purpose of capture Kupjian both from a political point of view and for logistics purposes," Fedorenko summed up. According to DeepState, as of September 18, the Kupyansk direction line has shifted 1 km near Kivsharivka. On the front map we see that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation overcame a small forest and approached the outskirts of the village.

It should be noted that the day before the analysts published refined data on the emergence of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Kupyansk. There were two red stripes on the map that stretches on the northwestern and northern streets of the city. The Russians are likely to move along the R79 highway: extreme occupied positions - about 1 kilometer from the center.
