🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Ukrainian telegram channel ZeRada writes:

At the moment, the situation in Kupyansk looks like this.

After two unsuccessful assaults using tanks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began shelling the bridge across the Oskol River.

Most likely, intelligence has information that motorized columns of the RF Armed Forces are on the way, and the bridge must be destroyed so that the Russian tanks would not enter the city.

The idea of ​​forcing Oskol and advancing further by the Armed Forces of Ukraine was abandoned.

🇷🇺🇸🇾⚡The Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed the leader of the Katiba Tawhid wal-Jihad terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation in Syria, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

More than 20 high-ranking members of Jabhat al-Nusra were also killed (the group is banned in the Russian Federation).

🇷🇺🇺🇦 We do not agree that the decisive battle of this war is now taking place.

the decisive battle will begin when and where Ukraine throws its main reserve into battle - those 10,000 people who complete their studies in the UK.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 All night and all morning the active work of aviation continues. Lots of aviation.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Meanwhile, the enemy is already in Kupyansk.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Mountains of corpses of Ukrainian militants - such is the price of failed counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Donetsk

The 100th brigade and the 11th regiment of the NM of the DPR successfully repelled attempts by Ukrainian militants to recapture their positions near Donetsk

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kupyansk is partially abandoned, the right bank under the Nazis. Our army goes beyond the Oskol River to take up defense there. I support this decision.

Yesterday Vladlen Tatarsky said in his evening edition that this decision would be the most correct from the point of view of military art. To maintain a foothold on the right bank, in the face of overwhelming numerical superiority of the enemy at any cost, introducing reserves in a dosed way, I consider it pointless. We do not have as many lives of soldiers, unlike the Nazis. It's a tough decision, but overall I think it's the right one. Now the task is to competently withdraw the troops across the river, gain a foothold and prevent the Izyum group from being surrounded. Once again, take off your rose-colored glasses. Not only Nazi Ukraine is fighting against us. We are again at war with the collective West - the NATO military and a large number of foreign mercenaries are participating in the offensive on the Kharkov front.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 It is reported that the enemy is conducting attacking operations in the Krasny Liman area, the city itself is under the control of the RF Armed Forces.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 1. At night, the RF Armed Forces withdrew behind Oskol in Kupyansk (yesterday the bridge across the river was badly damaged) and the enemy began to occupy the western part of Kupyansk in the morning. The RF Armed Forces were in the eastern part of the city in the morning.

2. The enemy continued to attack in the Izyum direction, trying to go directly to Izyum. As of yesterday evening, the front was 5-10 km from the city. The enemy DRG moving along Oskol sought to reach Gorokhovatka and further to Oskol.

3. Krasny Liman began to be subjected to artillery strikes in the morning, and in the morning an attack began on the positions of the RF Armed Forces in the area of ​​Krasny Liman from the area of ​​the Old Caravan. The goal of the enemy is to capture the Krasny Liman and further attack on Oskol, in order to cut off the Izyum grouping. In the event of the loss of Krasny Liman, the question of the need to withdraw the entire Izyum group may rise to its full height. However, the issue of the withdrawal of troops is already on the agenda, since there is not an illusory threat of encirclement near Izyum.

4. Regarding Balakleya, the enemy posted confirming photographs of control from the northern part of the warehouses. The capture of Balakleya has not yet been announced.

In general, the operational crisis after the enemy breakthrough near Balakleya continues to develop. The command has not yet succeeded in stabilizing the front.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Today and the next few days we will not receive the most joyful news, and crests will dump gigabytes of photos and videos from the settlements we left behind. Kupyansk has been abandoned and, in fact, we cannot hold out on the right bank of the Oskol River now. I will say this, the decision to withdraw our troops is a military necessity that has prevailed over political expediency, and we must pay tribute to the fact that he who gave the order to withdraw showed courage.

The overslept counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Balakley-Izyum sector, the state of the troops in this area, the lies in the reports to the top, let those who are supposed to deal with all this. I repeat, in the current conditions, an organized withdrawal is the only right decision. And thank God that despite serious territorial losses, our losses in personnel are very small, especially considering the scope of the operation.

In our history, there were the most difficult defeats, after some we became stronger and repaid the enemy a hundredfold, after others, the country itself slipped into disaster. The main thing now is to understand that the Izyum-Balakley battle is Narva, and not Tsushima or Mukden. No need to sprinkle ashes on your head, look for traitors and build conspiracy theories. Such searches lead to a false path, which not only does not correct mistakes, but also aggravates them. We must calmly analyze what happened and realize that there is a difficult war with a strong enemy.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Armed Forces of Ukraine arranged a cemetery for themselves and their equipment in the gut in the Kherson-Nikolaev direction, today the pilots finished off the survivors there, this is good, against the backdrop of news from the Kharkiv region.
