In the Kupiansk direction, the enemy
continued with the onset of the new

year its attempts to break through from the
north towards Synkivka and Petropavlivka.

The enemy has been attacking the AFU's
forward units in the Kupiansk direction

for more than two months, but for all this
time it was only able to take control of a

part of the forest south of Lyman Pershyi.
And that was achieved only by stopping the

offensive in the direction of Borova and
moving part of the forces from there.

From all the directions where
the enemy went on the offensive

with the onset of the fall-winter
period, it is the Kupiansk direction

that remains the least "productive" for
the enemy in terms of "losses-results".

And it looks a bit strange, because it is
here that the troops of the most powerful

and "exclusive" army of the land forces
of Russia - the 1st "Guards" Tank Army,

reinforced by the main forces of
the 6th Panzer Army - are operating.

There is no tank formation of this
scale in any armed forces of the

world. It includes two of Russia's
three full-fledged tank divisions,

as well as a motorized rifle division of
ground forces and a motorized rifle brigade.

Despite this formidable force, supported by
artillery, for a month now, they have been

trying to break through to the outskirts
of the left-bank part of the Oskil River.

The Ukrainian defense forces
opposing this prevailing force,

both in terms of manpower and the
number of main types and samples of

weapons and military equipment, have
simply nullified all their attempts.

The AFU did not create "Zaluzhny lines"
here, did not organize "mine sowing"

with prohibitive density, and do not
even have an advantage in the air.

But months pass, and the enemy is
still trying to capture Synkivka.

Also, the enemy continues to reinforce
its "Kursk" and "Belgorod" troop groups

at the expense of the forces of the "West"
group deployed in the Kupiansk direction.

Obviously, the enemy has "pulled" to
Kharkiv and Sumy direction a part of

its forces and means in addition to
those already deployed. Currently,

we are talking only about platoons,
battalions, and batteries, no more.

These maneuvers began as early as January
4 and 5 and may well be an element of the

so-called "operational game". However,
making clear conclusions regarding the

content of this intricate plan, which is evidently
implemented by the command of the West group,

will only be possible after some time,
when these unclear maneuvers end and the

extent of the forces and resources
that the adversary will move to the

composition of the Kursk and Belgorod
troop groups becomes more or less clear.

In fact, at the moment it all looks rather
silly. Movement of up to 5 thousand personnel

"for replenishment" from the training
grounds of Kursk region to the north of

the occupied Lugansk region of Ukraine
and simultaneous movement from there in

the opposite direction (to the same Kursk
region) of units and subdivisions seems,

even from the point of view of logic
and adequacy, not quite expedient.

Who and what the Russian command wants to convince

in such an "uncomplicated"
way, one can only guess.

Maybe it is really "so intended",

but from the outside it all looks
like an act of "operational onanism".

I'm going on a long business trip in a
few days and unfortunately new videos

will be released less frequently.
I hope for your understanding.
