According to the latest reports, on the Kupyansk battlefield on the Russian-Ukrainian front, the Russian army is continuing to attack the outer positions of the Ukrainian army, and is about to cross the highland area and advance in the direction of the Oskil River, so in this case, the Ukrainian army immediately invested in the 103rd Brigade of territorial defense to stop the Russian offensive, but it was never expected that as soon as this brigade entered the front line, it directly encountered the impact of the 47th tank division of the Russian army. The Ukrainian territorial defense brigades are only light **, anti-tank missiles and mortars, which cannot stop a T72 and T80 tanks with hundreds of units, as well as BM P2, infantry fighting vehicles The elite tank divisions of the Russian army are flanking left and right, and the troops of the Western Military District of Russia are currently continuing to attack in the direction of Kubyansk.
There is news that Russian Chief of Staff Gerasimov has recently directly commanded the battle in this direction, it is worth noting that Kupyansk is a key transportation hub on the northern front, once the Russian army captures this place, it can launch an offensive in the direction of Donbass, and in order to ensure that this direction is not lost, Ugin Commander Sersky has sent Hippocampus rocket artillery, tanks and Leopard tanks to Kupyansk, because the capture of Kupyansk from the Russian army is one of Syrsky's biggest achievements, It is also his political capital, if the Russian army regains Kupyansk again, there will basically be no more upward channels in Ukraine and military circles in the future, but judging from the current situation, Syrsky's move to increase troops seems to be more like sending people to the Russian army, because under the command of Gerasimov, the elite guards of the Western Military District of the Russian Army have all been put into this front, which is an elite unit prepared to defeat NATO.
Just yesterday the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine admitted that in 2023, a total of 100 Bauer tanks will be received, but 25 have been destroyed or killed, and dozens of tanks lack repair and maintenance, and NATO will no longer aid the second batch of Bauer tanks, at this rate, I estimate that in 2024, the Bauer tank unit of the Ukrainian army will also be wiped out.
In terms of the purpose of the war, Russia's purpose is actually to demilitarize Ukraine and establish a strategic buffer zone with NATO, if Russia maintains a military occupation of Ukrainian territory, then Ukraine is directly adjacent to NATO on the front line, then there is no buffer zone either, and the war will continue fiercely until one side suffers irreparable losses, what do you think.
