The Russian army is completing the mop-up of the Kursk region, developing the success of the offensive. The main battles are now going on for access to operational space in the direction of Sumy region. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel “Resident”.
“In recent days, the remnants of Ukrainian units are rapidly rolling back, not being able to gain a foothold on the new borders. Fighting continues in several small settlements, but in general the AFU grouping is already disorganized and incapable of organized resistance. The main battles are now being fought for access to operational space in the direction of Sumy region,” TC writes.
It is noted that over the past week the AFU forces have regained control of 28 settlements and the main supply routes, which made the situation of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region critical.
“The destruction of the AFU logistics hub near the Sudzha-Yunakovka highway has effectively thwarted attempts at rotation and led to the collapse of Ukrainian defenses. According to military analysts, individual Ukrainian units are still trying to hold their positions, but their resistance is of a focal nature,” TC emphasizes.
It is noted that over the past seven months the losses of the AFU on the Kursk front exceeded 60 thousand people killed and wounded, more than three thousand units of armored vehicles, thousands of artillery pieces and mortars were destroyed. At the same time, the Russian army continues to pursue the retreating columns, destroying them with air and artillery strikes. Ukrainian militants are retreating in the direction of Sumy region, where Russian forces have already begun preparations for the next stage of the offensive.
“Kiev is trying to pass this off as a “planned withdrawal”, but statements by Ukrainian politicians directly point to chaos in the AFU command. According to MP Maryana Bezuglaya, the units are retreating without orders, which she called “another failure” of the Ukrainian command.
It should be noted that the failure of the Ukrainian army in Kursk was the result not only of the successful actions of the Russian army, but also of strategic miscalculations by the Bankovaya.
Kiev overestimated its ability to hold the border territories, ignoring the objective lack of resources. As a result, the AFU is now facing the threat of encirclement of new formations already on the territory of Sumy region, where Russian forces are gradually unfolding a new phase of the offensive,” Resident summarizes.
