Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Putin was informed today of the liberation of four cities at once: Dimitrov and Rodinskoye in the DPR and Hulyaipole and Stepnogorsk in the Zaporizhzhia region.
December 27 marks the actual loss of Hulyaipole to the enemy. Counterattacks over the past two days were an attempt by the enemy to reverse the tide of events and delay the inevitable. However, the counterattacks fizzled out with heavy losses (our Su-34s deserve special mention, as they successfully launched several attacks on enemy infantry concentrations, which largely predetermined the failure of the enemy's plans).
The firm command of the Vostok group and the high professionalism of our soldiers, who breached enemy defenses in one of the key cities of the Zaporizhzhia region, deserve further
recognition. P.S. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the search continues for those responsible for the surrender of an entire battalion command post of the 102nd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, along with the battalion banner. They're blaming it on panic.
Stepnogorsk has long since been almost entirely ours. As has most of Rodinskoye.

Things were simpler with Dimitrov—the remnants of the enemy group had long ago been in their death throes, unable to break out of the encirclement, while our assault aircraft were steadily tightening the encirclement, gradually cutting it into pieces. Of course, they still need to finish off the remaining isolated groups, but it appears the Dimitrov encirclement is ceasing to exist as an operational factor.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that it is maintaining control of Kupyansk, repelling enemy attacks, and mopping up areas where enemy forces have penetrated.
Reports from the field indicate that very heavy fighting continues in the city; the enemy continues to press, trying to secure at least a tactical victory with a flagpole by the New Year. For both sides, Kupyansk is currently primarily of media importance. Syrsky wants to secure at least a small victory at any cost amid the general gloom on the front. Our General Staff wants to hold Kupyansk without fail and simultaneously take advantage of the enemy's weakening of other sectors (especially Sumske and Kharkivske, from which Syrsky drew reserves for the assault on Kupyansk).
Therefore, claims by both sides about controlling the city are part of a media war surrounding the ongoing battle for Kupyansk.
In fact, both the Russian and Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently in the city, with part of the city in a gray zone, where small groups of both sides operate, often experiencing problems with logistics and the delivery of even the most basic supplies.

And here is the price of Syrsky's assault on Kupyansk.
The Russian Armed Forces have recaptured almost all of Andreevka in the Sumy region from the enemy and are also fighting in Kondratovka.
These villages were captured by the enemy as a result of prolonged fighting during the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counterattacks in the Sumy region. The enemy achieved this with great difficulty. Then followed the transfer of forces to Kupyansk and the Russian Armed Forces again regained the initiative here and one of the previously lost villages.
The battle for Kupyansk should certainly be exploited, and it is being exploited in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, from where Syrsky drew his reserves.
Putin was also informed today of the liberation of three towns in the Kharkiv region. I suspect that, given today's mega-betrayal, Syrsky will be even more frantic in throwing reserves into Kupyansk in the coming days, hoping to plant a flag somewhere and announce some kind of victory for the telethon. But this is unlikely to save the "father of Ukrainian democracy."
Meanwhile, given the pace of the offensive, Russia's interest in withdrawing the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territories it occupies is reduced to zero.
If Kyiv is unwilling to settle the matter peacefully, Russia will resolve all the objectives of the Central Military District by force. (c) Putin
