Currently, the Russian command is directing its main strategic reserves towards the Kursk direction and the "southeastern corner" (Pokrovskoye, Kurakhovskoye, and Vremevskoye directions).
Nevertheless, the command of the enemy's "West" troop grouping is attempting to storm the Kupiansk direction with relatively small forces. This was reported by military analyst and coordinator of the "Information Resistance" group, Konstantin Moshovets, on his Telegram channel here.
"Of course, in this case, the chances of a successful storm are significantly lower than if there were a substantial increase in the volume of forces and resources, both for the entire 'West' grouping and the 1st Tank Army operating specifically in the Kupiansk direction," – explained Konstantin Moshovets.
The military expert reminded that for the storm of Avdiivka, which can be compared to Kupiansk, the occupiers gathered a total force of approximately 110,000 troops, while for the offensive on Kupiansk, they currently have only up to 37,000 personnel. Additionally, issues in the Kursk region are preventing the occupiers from deploying enough troops to the Kupiansk area.
Konstantin Moshovets added that in the Kupiansk direction, the decisive factor will not be the actions of the enemy, but rather the condition and combat readiness of the Ukrainian forces defending in that area, which currently face certain challenges.
