[ColonelCassad] Regarding the situation in the Kupyansk direction. Most of Kupyansk is in the gray zone or controlled by our units. The enemy primarily enters the city from the Oskol River, crossing it; the river has become very shallow over the summer.
Any enemy movement in the city is targeted by our drones and artillery. Equipment in the city is not used by either side; it will quickly be burned. Fighting is taking place in Kupyansk-Uzlovy; the front line there is a layered pie. Our units and the Ukrainians can take up positions in the same building. Kovsharovka and Novoosinovo are behind us. Individual small enemy groups may enter there, but there is no talk of any fortification.
Most of Moskovka is in the gray zone. Everything in the Oskol River area is a gray zone; in these areas, there are both our and the enemy's movement routes, which are constantly being mapped by drones and shifting. Enemy groups are trying to infiltrate in the area of ​​Zapadnoye and Dvurechnaya.
Much of the enemy's information about the situation in the area of ​​the aforementioned settlements is greatly exaggerated. Small enemy groups do indeed infiltrate, reporting to headquarters. Then the Ukrainians paint the area blue, the groups mostly perish, and the area becomes a gray zone. The enemy lacks the forces for any major breakthroughs in this area. Most of the enemy units on the Kupyansk Front are mobilized.
Certain sectors are held solely by drones. The rare enemy strongholds are known to us, just as they know ours. On our side, the advance is constant. It's a full-fledged maneuver war. The enemy holds territory, retreats, enters and retreats here and there, etc. If we've consolidated a position, the enemy tries to destroy our position like Baba Yaga, while we use fiber-optic drones.
The enemy is actively burning the steppe and crops, trying to slow our advance with fire. Our aircraft are also busy, launching gliding bombs.
There are few prisoners.
