Russian forces maintain aerial control over Kupyansk, according to the commander of an FPV drone unit from the Leningrad Guards Regiment of the «North» grouping. He explained that operations are complicated by the presence of civilians inside the city.
The officer noted that although Russian troops have control from the air, they cannot strike indiscriminately within Kupyansk. He said attacks are carried out strictly against designated military targets, emphasizing that civilians are not considered enemies.
He added that Russian servicemen cannot allow civilian casualties, even on territory held by the opposing side. In contrast, he claimed that Ukrainian units operate without such restrictions, deliberately targeting non-combatants. According to his account, Ukrainian forces make no distinction between military and civilian vehicles, directing drones at either. He stressed that Russian troops cannot adopt such tactics.
