The occupiers have recently shifted the emphasis of their actions toward the western direction — specifically toward Raivka.
Russian forces on the Kupiansk sector are trying to increase pressure to the west in order to create broader possibilities for advancing toward Kupiansk from the north. However, at present these attempts are not yielding the expected results for the Russian troops.
This was stated on air on United News by the spokesperson for the Joint Forces operation Viktor Tregubov.
According to him, Russian military forces have recently shifted the emphasis of their actions to the western direction.
"They are trying to apply slightly more pressure in the western direction, toward the same Raivka, to broaden their opportunity to insert directly into the city from the north," Tregubov explained.
The spokesperson noted that previously Russian troops tried to advance through Holubivka. Now they are seeking additional options for developing offensive actions and expanding their capabilities on this stretch of the front. At the same time, the Russians have not managed to implement this plan.
"So far it is ineffective as of now, but at least the plan is understandable. The plan is logical: if it had burned out, it would probably have had some effectiveness for them," the spokesperson said.
He also emphasized that the overall tactics of Russian troops on the Kupiansk direction have not significantly changed. The intensity of attacks periodically rises or falls, depending, in particular, on unit rotations, logistics restoration, and replenishment of personnel.
At the end of July, the Russians intensified offensive actions on the Kharkiv and Kupiansk directions. Currently, significant forces buildup is not yielding substantial results. The occupiers’ goal is to show some success before the end of the summer campaign.
The Russians are systematically applying pressure, attempting to divide the Ukrainian bridgehead east of the Oskil River. There are also ongoing attempts to insert along the state border, in particular from Kozacha Lopan.
