What preceded this?

We will remind you that on 20 November, Russian media circulated a statement by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov, about the alleged occupation of Kupiansk.
However, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refuted the statement by Russian Chief of General Staff Gerasimov in his report to Putin about the capture of the settlements of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region and Yampil in the Donetsk region.
After that, Russian propaganda resources also acknowledged that the "capture" of Kupiansk by the Russian army was not true.
On 12 December, the DeepState project reported that the north-western outskirts of the city had been cleared of ruscists and that the occupiers in Kupiansk had been blocked.
On the same day, 12 December, President Zelenskyy arrived in Kupiansk.
