“But Ukraine claimed its forces had shot down one of these drones for the first time last month near the city of Kupyansk in Kharkiv.”

“The strategic significance of Kupyansk cannot be overstated. It serves as a critical linchpin for Russia’s broader political objective of fully securing the territorial boundaries of Luhansk. At the same time, any potential Russian advance on the regional capital, Kharkiv, even if intended merely to pressure the city and provoke civilian evacuations, remains unlikely to succeed as long as the Ukrainian Kupyansk group continues to threaten Russian forces from the southeast. From Russia’s perspective, both objectives — exerting pressure on both Kharkiv and Kupyansk — are highly valuable and ultimately, interdependent.”
