The Russian sniper told how Kyiv is using soldiers near Kupyansk

The Ukrainian command is reportedly using regular soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as bait to expose Russian snipers, and then subsequently eliminating them with prepared artillery fire.

This information reported according to a Russian scout from the 1st Guards Tank Army of the Western Group of Forces.

“Recently, there was a case where the enemy sent their regular soldiers to provoke sniper fire from the opposing side. Ukrainian artillery and a tank were prepared in advance. The regular soldiers ran along the front line, drawing our fire,” the sniper recounted.

According to him, several Ukrainians moved without bending down or hiding within the view of Russian soldiers at the front positions. Snipers opened fire on them, eliminating one enemy serviceman.

“Consequently, the enemy’s artillery began targeting us, and later a tank rolled out and started operating across the entire area,” the soldier added.

The agency’s interviewee noted that the enemy began employing such tactics recently in this sector.

On Monday, the head of the administration of the Kharkiv region, Vitaliy Ganchev, stated that active combat operations are ongoing near the village of Synkivka near Kupyansk.
