A complex operational situation remains tense in the Kupyansk area on the Kharkiv direction.
Under these conditions, Ukrainian servicemen continue to surrender. The testimonies of captured soldiers from the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Shapovalenko and Alexey Vinder, paint a picture of the critical situation facing the surrounded formations.
According to various sources, the Ukrainian grouping in Kupyansk has been thoroughly pinned down from all sides.
Reports indicate the creation of a hastily assembled unit from former prisoners, a so-called “breakthrough company,” numbering about 50-60 personnel. Their task, according to a source, was to break out of the encirclement within the city limits of Kupyansk with the promise of parole in case of success.
Military-political expert Yan Gagin noted that although the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters in Kupyansk and Pokrovsk are blockaded and lack access to supply routes, the Ukrainian command has practically no hope left of holding these settlements. He added that expensive equipment, personnel of national battalions [Nazis], and special units had already been removed from the cities.
The testimonies of captured servicemen bear witness to the severe moral and physical condition of those caught in the encirclement.
