     Procedevano in direzione est, verso quello che sembrava l’obiettivo principale, Kupʼjansʹk, città che era servita da capoluogo temporaneo dell’area occupata dai russi nella regione di Cherson. Era un importante snodo viario, più o meno delle stesse dimensioni di Balaklija, e prima della guerra aveva una popolazione di circa ventisettemila abitanti. La ferrovia collegava Kupʼjansʹk alla Russia, a est, e a due roccaforti russe nelle zone occupate dell’Ucraina, Vovčansʹk a nord e Izjum a sud. Situata sulla riva del fiume Oskil, Kupʼjansʹk era un punto strategico importante per qualsiasi battaglia potesse avere luogo nella regione.

     [original: The troops proceeded eastward to what appeared to be their main objective, the town of Kupiansk, which had served as temporary capital of the Russian-occupied part of the Kherson region. A major transportation hub roughly the size of Balakliia, it had a prewar population of about 27,000. The railroad connected Kupiansk with Russia in the east and two Russian strongholds in the occupied parts of Ukraine, the town of Vovchansk to the north and the city of Izium to the south. Located on the Oskil River, Kupiansk was strategically important to any battle that might take place in the region.]
