The AFU named the next hot direction on the front

Russian occupation troops have started regrouping and are preparing to strike Kupyansk in Kharkiv Region. This was reported by the speaker of the AFU Ground Forces Command, Volodymyr Fityo, on air during a telethon.

The enemy is regrouping. Now the weather is deteriorating, so the use of equipment by the Russian occupiers is somewhat complicated. But their intentions are clear. We have seen their preparations for attacking actions," he said.

Fitio said that the Defence Forces had repelled five Russian attacks in the areas of Sinkivka, Petropavlivka and Belohorivka over the past 24 hours. At the same time, the Russian army used its aviation and also used 15 kamikaze drones for attacks.

During the day, the enemy's manpower near Kupyansk decreased by 156 people and military equipment - by about 30 units. In particular, our soldiers destroyed one tank and one armoured fighting vehicle of the enemy," he pointed out.

The speaker noted that Kupyansk is an important logistical centre through which supplies of provisions and ammunition were delivered to the enemy army during the past occupation.

We will remind, on Tuesday, 14 November, the military reported to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the increase in the number of Russian assaults in Avdiivka, Kupyansk, as well as in the Donetsk direction.

We would also like to note that in early November, Estonian intelligence predicted "hot" weeks on the frontline near Kupyansk and Avdiivka. Colonel Ants Kiviselg, commander of the Intelligence Centre of the Estonian Defence Forces, said that the Russian Federation will continue to advance in these directions without considering losses in manpower and equipment, ERR reported. In his opinion, Russia thus wants to reach the river borders and the borders of Luhansk Region, i.e. to occupy favourable positions for wintering.
