Kupyansk, MASSIVE cauldron and Donbass accelerated collapse
Kupyansk Secured: Accelerating Collapse Threatens Ukrainian Defenses in Donbass
Understand the confirmed capture of Kupyansk, which signals a potentially decisive collapse in Ukrainian defensive lines across Donbass, bringing the long-feared operational "cauldron" close to formation.
Short Summary
- Russians confirm complete control over Kupyansk, isolating significant Ukrainian troop concentrations east of the Oskil River.
- Simultaneous advances pressuring Lyman, Siversk, and Konstantinovka indicate a coordinated effort to encircle the entire Slavyansk-Kramatorsk grouping.
- US military leadership visiting Kiev may be confronting the severe operational reality, distinct from prior optimistic briefings received by the Trump administration.
- Putin signals uncompromising commitment to achieving all stated objectives of the Special Military Operation, signaling no interest in premature ceasefires.
This briefing synthesizes recent Russian military announcements made during President Putin’s visit to command posts. The focus is on the dramatic shift in the Donbass front, where successful Russian maneuvers are creating deep strategic threats, particularly regarding the pending collapse of fortified positions holding the key urban centers.

Ukraine is cooked. The West is full of copium & struggling to cope with their new reality. Russia is definitively defeating all of NATO.
You two have been with me for the last 4 years now. RIP Gonzalo Lira ❤️
The hell those men went through all for Zelensky's ego and pride.
If the fanatical EU had not brought gasoline and fire into the conflict, no one would have died. This crime by EU + USA will be written into history!
Thank you, gentlemen ❤️ You are the best
All this only with shovels and chips from my dishwasher (Bosch German quality). Incredible.
NATO went from the most feared alliance to a joke.
