Russians use Soviet pipelines to infiltrate Kupyansk | 700 Ukrainian forces TRAPPED | WION GAME PLAN

by WION [9-24-2025].

While Europe has been busy dealing with unknown drones flying into NATO airspace in various countries - Russia planned and executed a subterranean ambush in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kupyansk, just across the Oskil river beyond Luhansk. This is a key artery for Supplies for the Ukrainian army.

Russian troops reportedly used carts and scooters to travel 13 kilometres under the Oskil River navigating through extensive Soviet-era underground networks of pipelines. They ambushed Ukrainian troops who were caught unaware.

Russian troops have now sealed off a large Ukrainian group north and west of Kupyansk, trapping 700 Ukrainian troops out of which 250 are eliminated.

How did Russia do it? How important is Kupyansk?

On this episode of Game Plan, Shivan Chanana discusses with DR. GILBERT DOCTOROW FROM BERLIN....HE IS AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ANALYST, AUTHOR, AND HISTORIAN.
