Zelensky: we are clearing Kupiansk of Russians. How does the conflict work?

The Russians presently have 3 main operational goals. These are: Pokrovsk, Kramatorsk and Kupiansk. The second 2 are of strategical importance for logistics routes in east Ukraine. I wrote earlier about the mirror image, due to the fact that the Russian advance is besides irregular close Kupiansk. close Pokrovsk, the Russians have an operational initiative south of the city, and north of it, suffering defeats. Similarly, close Kupiański, they break into the city only from the north. Both cities are not formally surrounded, although Pokrovsk is in a worse position, although Russian drones may besides cut off access to supplies to Kupiansk. Both cities were ruined in the course of Russian attacks, both lie in ruins.
