The Russian Defense Ministry stated in a statement: “Russian forces are located near the city administration building, in the area of Spartak Stadium on Sportivni Street, and at the city’s power station.” The Russian Defense Ministry released drone footage confirming Russian forces’ control over approximately half of the territory of the city of Kupiansk. This began on February 24, 2022, to protect the residents of Donbass, who have been subjected to persecution and extermination by the Kyiv regime for years. Among the equipment were German Leopard 2 tanks, many American and British armored vehicles, as well as numerous tanks and vehicles provided by NATO countries, which were ultimately destroyed by Russian strikes.
