After the Battle of Kursk, due to the excessive consumption of war strength and losses, Ukraine was forced to shift from multi-line offensive and comprehensive defense to key defense. Northern Donetsk and southern Kharkiv are the defense priorities of the Ukrainian army. In Pokrovsk (Red Army City), the Dobropilya salient area and Konstantinovka in the north of Donetsk, the Ukrainian military not only invested a large number of elite troops, but also put reserves on it. However, the counter-offensive forces of the Ukrainian Army, including the 1st Azov Army, ultimately failed to recapture the Dobropilya salient.

Starting on October 5, the Russian army resumed the offensive on the outpost of Dubrovnik, and after the transportation supply line of Kucherivar was opened, the Russian army intensified the offensive on the village of Kimi and attempted to restore control of the T-0514 road. From the latest battlefield map, the Russian army has fully controlled the new economic town and relied on attacking Dmitrov, the Russian army dispersed the Ukrainian reserves in this direction, giving the Russian ground offensive of the Red Army City a chance to create. In addition to the panic caused by the failure of Dubrovnik, the Ukrainian army in the Red Army City has been unloved.

As of the evening of October 6, Russian ground forces had captured all high-rise areas in Red Army City with the support of air-ground firepower. Looking north from these commanding heights, you can have a clear view of the Ukrainian defensive positions in the northern part of the Urban area of the miners 'family area. Ukrainian soldiers sent a message on social channels saying that foreign mercenaries and the Azov battalion have retreated to the western suburbs of Red Army City. If the Russian army's progress in Roginsyk accelerates, they will continue to withdraw westward to Dnepropetrovsk."Strengthen defense" on the border. To use the Ukrainian military's consistent saying, the Red Army City is no longer important!

The so-called "not important" actually means "it can't be kept at a glance." The war report of the Russian Ministry of Defense shows that not only is the Red Army City no longer important, but also Kupyansk! The latest Russian war report on October 7 stated that frontline reports from Kupyansk showed that the Russian siege of the city center had been completed. The remnants of the Ukrainian army made little resistance. Currently, fighting is going on in the suburbs leading to Kupyansk-Uzlovaya. The Russian Ministry of Defense revealed that they have controlled 5667 of the 8667 buildings in Kupyansk, equivalent to two-thirds of the city.

In addition, the Russian army has formed a semi-encirclement situation against large Ukrainian troops in Kupyansk. Three brigades under the Ukrainian 10th Army, which is responsible for the defense of Kupyansk, are surrounded east of the Oskil River. The Russian army is currently attracting the 143rd and 144th Ukrainian brigades in the eastern part of the city to come to the rescue. In that case, it can eat up at least 5 Ukrainian brigades at once and reach the gates of Kharkiv. Judging from the current situation, the Ukrainian military will soon say that "Kupyansk is no longer important."
