It is evident that recently, part of the enemy's forward units managed to cross the Oskol River north of Kupiansk-Uzlovoy on the Kupiansk front.
This was reported by military analyst and coordinator of the "Information Resistance" group, Konstantin Mashovets, on his Telegram channel here.
According to the expert, this stronghold of the Russian occupying forces currently measures "battalion-sized," but in the near future, the enemy command will attempt to exploit its tactical success.
Currently, the enemy's nearest objective, as noted by Konstantin Mashovets, is to eliminate the northern part of our stronghold on the Oskol River and to occupy the area of Kivsharivka – Kupiansk-Uzlovoy – Kucherovka – Petropavlivka.
"It is clear that the operational-tactical grouping of the enemy, which is deployed exclusively on the Kupiansk front, likely does not exceed 35,000 personnel (even if we add certain reserves, it may reach up to 37,000). Essentially, this consists of two fully equipped Soviet-era motorized rifle divisions plus a small 'addition'," said Konstantin Mashovets.
Additionally, on the Kupiansk front, the enemy has concentrated up to 400 tanks, 755-760 units of armored fighting vehicles, fewer than 440 artillery systems, and up to 120 units of multiple launch rocket systems, which overall appears rather unconvincing.
