As per Russian propaganda, "situation in Kupyansk is tough but Russians are holding on".

Update: Russian media reports that Russian troops have left Kupyansk.

Second update: Russia also confirms leaving Izyum. Man, that seems like a rout and propaganda seems out of ideas on how to spin it. They say "we have stopped Ukrainians at Lyman FOR NOW". Seems like a total panic.

"We had to leave Izyum and some other settlements".
"It happened because of strategic failures of higher brass".
"If we didn't leave Izyum, our forces there would collapse"
