The Russian troops are constantly infiltrating the city of Kup'yansk in the Kharkiv region, using civilian cover. The military notes the threat to the civilian population and urges them to evacuate. According to Oleksii Malyarevych, deputy commander of the 429th separate drone systems regiment 'Achilles', dozens of Russian soldiers try to blend in with the local population every day, disguising themselves in civilian clothes.
“Even our pilots have to consider: is this a civilian moving between houses or some Russian? It's very difficult,” Malyarevych explained.
This tactic makes the work of Ukrainian soldiers more complicated and creates danger for the civilian population. In this regard, the military urges residents of the city to evacuate, as Kup'yansk is currently a dangerous place.
An operation to 'cleanse' the area of saboteurs is ongoing, and access for civilians is prohibited. There are about 680 residents who find it difficult to leave, as evacuation is possible only on foot. The head of the local administration called on residents to leave the city since the situation there is very dangerous.
The threatening situation in Kup'yansk continues as Russian troops are constantly trying to capture the city, hiding among civilians. Ukrainian military and local authorities urge people to evacuate to save their lives and safety. At the same time, conducting operations to 'cleanse' the area of enemy forces is complicated due to the risk of harming saboteurs among the civilian population, which poses serious threats to peaceful residents.
