While the Kremlin claims that Russian forces control the city of Kupiansk, Ukrainian military observers report that Russian troops are hiding in basements and stone bunkers. Ukranian military commentator Denys Popovych offered his analysis of this situation, noting that the Russian military's presence in such conditions highlights their vulnerability. The city has been a focal point of intense fighting in the Kharkiv region since Ukraine's successful counter-offensive in late 2022.
Popovych stated that the fact Russian soldiers remain in shelters allows Russian generals to claim control over Kupiansk. He emphasized that even pro-war Russian propaganda outlets are beginning to express frustration, as they receive information that does not match reality.
'Even Russian pro-war propaganda is outraged by the lies it is being fed' - Denys Popovych adds.
Popovych also pointed out that Russian soldiers have been largely abandoned in this situation, with limited choices available to them:
'They were left to either surrender or die' - Denys Popovych says.
This indicates a crisis for the Russian army in this region, which has become a symbol of the Kremlin's failed strategy.
The Washington Post says that Ukrainian troops have successfully repelled Russian attempts to seize Kupiansk, a critical rail hub in northeastern Ukraine, denying Moscow a potential bargaining chip as peace negotiations continue. Russian soldiers attempting to infiltrate the city through an abandoned gas pipeline are being systematically hunted by Ukrainian drone operators in what commanders describe as "search and destroy" missions. Washington Post reporters witnessed one such operation from an underground command center, where analysts from Ukraine's Khartia Brigade tracked a lone Russian soldier who had survived an earlier drone strike that killed his unit. After seeking shelter in an abandoned house, smoke from his fire revealed his position, and he was killed by a drone-dropped bomb.
"He's cooked!" shouted a Ukrainian soldier as the strike landed.
This intense pursuit has become central to Ukraine's strategy for maintaining control over most of Kupiansk, marking a dramatic reversal after the city appeared on the verge of falling last summer. Russia initially captured the strategically important rail hub in 2022 but lost it during a Ukrainian counteroffensive later that year. Moscow intensified efforts to retake the city in 2024 as Ukrainian defenses weakened and peace talks began.
The fight for Kupiansk represents one of Kyiv's few concrete battlefield victories over the past year, demonstrating that Ukrainian forces can still push back Russian troops when properly equipped and organized. Moscow's willingness to expend massive resources in manpower and equipment indicates that Vladimir Putin's war aims extend beyond the Donbas region currently at the focus of peace negotiations.
"We understand that we need to create proper conditions to give our president more leverage at the talks, because our foreign policy is primarily based on our success on the battlefield," said Col. Maksym Golubok, chief of staff for the 2nd National Guard Corps. Ukraine's success in Kupiansk, he added, "gives our president one of those cards."
