Russian forces had advanced to the outskirts of Kupyansk's residential area, taking advantage of adverse weather conditions. However, this was limited to the city's left (east) bank.
The expert stated there are 'weak spots' in the defense of Kupiansk, saying Russia has been given the keys to the city.
