Kharkiv counteroffensive analysis, 8 Sept.
Some claims online seem to indicate UA offensive is aimed at Kupyansk. That may be a later objective, but it's not main target now.
Target is Pervomaiske, town southeast of Shevchenkove.

I don't buy claims this is some Soviet-style deep attack. That hasn't been UA doctrine forever. UA doctrine **always** goes after supply lines.
Pervomaiske conforms to UA doctrine because RU is unloading trains there.
