Ukrainian units partially left the territory of the Kursk region of Russia and took defensive positions at the ruling altitudes near the state border. Such a step allows the Ukrainian troops to control the situation and prevent the promotion of Russian invaders towards Sumy region.
As the director of Defense Express Sergey Zgurets reported on the air of Espresso , the withdrawal of troops took place in two stages - first to Sudzhi and then in the direction of Sumy. The departure was accompanied by increased shelling by the enemy, but the operation of units is considered successful.
According to Zgurt, during the operation of the Armed Forces, they lost a certain amount of heavy equipment, but these losses are not critical. At the same time, there are no confirmed data on the environment of the Ukrainian military or the creation of "boilers". It is known about the capture of the soldiers in captivity during their entry into the Ukrainian territory, but there are not many such cases - the total number is measured by dozens.
Currently, surgery in the Kursk region is still ongoing, and the Ukrainian military holds individual areas in the Russian Federation. The Russians try to storm the west and east from the road to the amount, but the situation is complicated and for them - logistics restriction operate on both sides.
The Armed Forces are now moving to defense format, using more efficient logistics routes and control of dominant heights near the border. This significantly complicates any possible promotion of Russian troops in the direction of Sumy. Sergey Zgurets notes that there are no signs of a possible offensive of the Russian Federation on the city, since Russian units are exhausted, and geography and logistics restrictions do not give them benefits for active promotion.
According to official data of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, 14 combat clashes took place in this direction last day. The Russians carried out 11 aircraft, dropped 18 managed aircraft and released 289 artillery shelling, including 12 - from rocket launchers.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has informed earlier that the Russian army continues to accumulate forces along the eastern border, which may testify to the enemy's potential attempt to strike in Sumy region. However, the Ukrainian forces are currently controling the situation and are preparing for possible scenarios.
