The northern Donetsk and Kharkov front, played by the Russian army in a game of chess. On the one hand, in the northern part of Pokrovsk (City of the Red Army), Konstantinovka (Constantinovka of the Don), Seversk and Redman strengthened the offensive, on the other hand, sharply strengthened the offensive on the southern satellite city of Kharkov, Kupyansk. The Ukrainian army is clear that once Kupyansk this outer defensive fortress, then the second city of Ukraine, Kharkov, faces the problem of not only direct exposure to the Russian offensive line, but the collapse of the entire eastern front.

With the expansion of the scale of Russian drone strikes, the supply lines from Kharkov to Jaipur, in the direction of Seversky, were severely blocked, making the defense of the Ukrainian army in the aforementioned areas extremely difficult. Especially Redman, after the bridge behind which was blown up, the supply was almost interrupted. The Russian army basically completely cleaned the forest area of the Jaipur line, and is accelerating the cleaning of Ukrainian troops hidden in underground work. Redman lost only the problem of time, and the Ukrainian army commander-in-chief Sirsky drafted Redman's 3rd Asia assault brigade to enhance Kupijansk, meaning that there was no hope for Redman.

According to the Russian front reporter, the Russian ground forces have seized almost all of the Kupiyansk industrial district and are rapidly advancing to the city area. Some radical Western sources have even claimed that the Russian military has seized most of Kupiyansk. In their dynamic map of the battlefield, the western district of Kupiyansk has all been put into the hands of the Russian military.

Russian war correspondents said that the Russian military is implementing strict information control on the Kupyansk front, which is regarded as a signal before the decisive battle. Due to local electromagnetic interference adopted by the Russian army, the Ukrainian defenders in Kupyansk had poor communication with Kharkiv and Kiev. If the Ukrainian military wants to understand the situation on the front line, it can only analyze and judge through the Internet and media news. Therefore, Ukrainian Army Commander-in-Chief Syrsky urgently dispatched the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade to reinforce Kupyansk, which also took great risks.

In fact, the attack camp of the 3rd Azov Brigade was unknown, so the night-motioned reinforcement, directly into the pocket of the Russian military, and in the morning it was discovered that the two side wings were all Russian. And the backway has been blocked by the Russian unmanned aircraft forces and artillery firepower, even if the choice of withdrawal, also pay a terrible cost of casualties. In fact, the Ukrainian 3rd Azov Brigade is currently facing a dangerous situation, as they were in the Battle of Avadyvka. The difference is that during the Battle of Avadyvka you can also rely on the resistance of the incinerator, in Kupiyansk, the 3rd Azov Brigade can only rely on luck.
