Kupyansk has fallen, as Russian advances overwhelm Ukrainian defenses.
And so it happened that Russian forces have reportedly conquered (or, as they would prefer, liberated) the northern logistical center of Kupyansk.
We have reported about this battle here in TGP back in September: Putin Says Ukrainian Military Is in CRITICAL Condition, as Russian Forces Break Into Kupyansk and Advance Into Dnipropetrovsk Region (VIDEOS).
Now, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov received a military-clad President Vladimir Putin in the headquarters of the Vostok (Western) military group to announce the conquest of Kupyansk.
According to Gerasimov’s briefing to Putin, Kupyansk is now under Russian control.
Putin said the government in Kiev “cannot be considered political leadership,” describing it instead as “an organized criminal group.” pic.twitter.com/51b5BkdgBr
