Russia plans to capture Pokrovsk and Kupiansk, which are strategic for them, but so far, the Russians have not been able to force the Armed Forces of Ukraine to surrender. Fierce fighting continues for the cities, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has sent various units to Pokrovsk, so not only the Armed Forces of Ukraine are there, but also the Special Operations Forces, the National Guard, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and other types of Defense Forces.
At the same time, the Kremlin has already announced the capture of Kupiansk, which was denied by the General Staff and the Armed Forces of Ukraine themselves.
