From the editorial board: below information from the mk.ru portal about the advancement of the Russian offensive in the north, the imminent fall of Kupańsk and preparations for the siege of Kharkov. The media in Poland practically does not study the situation on the northern front:
‘Chief of the military administration of the Kupansk region, the Kharkiv region, Andriy Kanashevich, gave orders for mandatory evacuation from 53 villages of the Cherk district. It appears that the inhabitants of the villages nearing the Russian troops will be forced out.
Anyway, the head of the regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov, has already announced compulsory evacuation of children and mandatory evacuation of adults. The strategy is simple, tested in Artemówsk: children are taken distant from families and taken into Ukraine, parents want not to follow them. Or you gotta hide the boys in the basement and not let them leave.
There are flyers around the city with phones where residents explain how to proceed. They guarantee that in another regions of Ukraine they receive temporary free accommodation in the form of a room, free "food" which will supply volunteers, aid with paperwork, and so on. Poltava, Zittomierz, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk are offered to move. However, those who previously traveled west of Ukraine say that local residents are not truly waiting for them there.
It is worth remembering the fresh past of Kupinsk. From February to September 2022, the town was under Russian control. After the arrival of Ukrainian troops in the city began the "cleansing" of the civilian population. They were taken in an unknown direction, beaten, tortured. So people have been under force for a year. The “signalists” who issued the SBU neighbors felt good. They're packing the suitcases now to go to the evacuation points.
The city administration has already been evacuated from Kupinsk. And just present a 1.5-ton bomb hit the building. The facade has survived, inside are mountains of rubble. According to local channels, Ukrainian troops leaving the city. Ukrainian safety Service personnel have already exported all archives. Russian army is 7 kilometres to Kupansk
The residents themselves describe the situation as follows: “In the city people are very intimidated. SBU checks phones, monitors the Internet. They keep people for the least sympathy for Russia. On social networks and chats, the remaining pro-Russian residents compose that they cannot wait for the Russian army to arrive.
Ukrainian troops are gradually retreating to Kharkov, which begins to prepare for a long siege. The latest news shows that. For example: at the beginning of the school year in Kharkov they intend to transfer ... on the subway! "They will be equipped with classrooms where acoustic insulation, air recovery, toilets will be repaired. In addition to teachers, there will be teachers who will aid children come to classes, go to the toilet due to the fact that they will be in abroad territory," said Olga Demenko, manager of the education department of the City Council, Ukrainian portal strana.ua".
