The Kharkiv region has been at the forefront of clashes between the Russian and Ukrainian armies since February 2022. The Russians occupied it and then liberated it on September 10 of last year. Kubyansk is one of the major centers of the region and an important center for military supplies. It is no coincidence that in this region it has been assumed that a new Russian offensive could begin and that there may be an attempt to retaliate by the Ukrainians to continue the counteroffensive that began last fall.
