The Economist writes about it.
“A few months after Ukraine occupied Kupyansk, pro-Russian sentiment in the region remains high,” Andrey Besedin, acting mayor of the city, shared with the publication.
In addition, the newspaper, citing the words of the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes that the residents of Kupyansk send pictures of their military equipment to Russian social networks, and also refuse to help.
The article also says that some Ukrainian soldiers have been banned from taking food from local residents for fear that it could be poisoned.
“They still miss the Russians,” a Ukrainian volunteer admitted to the publication.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian troops destroyed up to 30 Ukrainian militants in the Kupyansk direction during the day.
