Quote from DeepState: “In particular, a Russian soldier was even spotted in the city centre, where he wandered around freely for some time. The whole show with rags [Russian flags] took place in areas located in the grey zone. Later, the 10th Corps posted footage of some Russians being struck on the northern outskirts of the city in the grey zone, but it is too early to conclude that the enemy was completely destroyed.”
Details: DeepState pointed out that the Russian presence on the northern outskirts of Kupiansk is not new and the long-standing existence of the grey zone proves this.
It also added that the Russians are making constant attempts to enter the city and are trying to gain a foothold at least on the outskirts to increase their numbers for further advancement.
Quote from DeepState: “The defence forces fighters, of course, try to reduce these attempts to zero, but the enemy’s superiority in infantry is taking its toll.
The enemy is trying to seize the surrounding area to increase their chances of gaining a foothold in the city, which is why fighting is taking place, in particular for the village of Myrove (formerly Myrne), which, like Radkivka, is intended to serve as a place for concentrating infantry.”
Details: DeepState said the Russians are also trying to enter the city and expand their presence by disguising themselves as civilians.
Quote from DeepState: “At present, infantry groups are actively attempting assaults, which the Ukrainian forces are trying to repel.
In September we will be talking about Kupiansk more than once, as the enemy has come very close and is actively probing weak spots, some of which it has identified. And they try to exploit any success immediately.”
