Ukrainian bridgehead under attack attacks: what is happening in the Kursk region and what are the risks to the Armed Forces
"The enemy tries to move towards the Sudzha checkpoint to physically block our logistics, since he has established fire control for a long time. The enemy is constantly striking everything that moves, especially on the road by the Yunakovka-Zuja. First of all, the enemy showed activity in the area of the villages of Zhuravka-Nenko along the border. But the situation is different on each site.
In Zhuravka, the forces of Ukraine's defense restrain the enemy in the forest strips without letting him move. At the same time, the situation is more difficult in the new way - the enemy accumulates strength in the village, trying to move, in particular towards Basivka. "The pressure is increasing, the enemy constantly starts new units, and our military has to stop this" horde "to stabilize the situation. Defense forces try to do so, try to stabilize, although it is difficult.
It is very difficult," says Pogorely. According to him, recent cards updates testify to rigid advancement from the eastern part of the Kursk group, in particular in the area of Kuril's settlement along the border. The situation is not easy, because, in fact, it is an event on the other side to the same road, to the same logistics, and a whole trimming in the event in Kurshchyna of Ukrainian fighters.
"Korean military, who have been thrown into this direction, are actively involved in the fighting. According to the expert, the consequences of the operation can be critical, first of all, for the whole grouping in Kur Region when logistics is trimmed. If the enemy manages to move physically, the consequences may be unpredictable.
Military expert Oleg Zhdanov also notes that the logistics situation in the Kursk direction has been difficult for the second week, as the enemy has taken the main route of the Sumy -Court under fire control. At the same time, the overall situation is complicated by the fact that Russia has probably determined the restoration of control over the Kursk region with its strategic priority. The enemy will exert maximum pressure using all available resources.
"At the moment, the enemy managed to cut our group, though not completely, cut off the eastern part of the territory controlled by the Ukrainian forces. They cut off, but both parts of our group are adjacent to the border of Ukraine, so logistics is complicated by the fire of the Russian troops, but it is Focus Zhdanov. Further development will depend on the availability of reserves and the ability of the Ukrainian forces to continue fighting in the region.
The expert emphasizes that it is difficult to assess Ukraine's potential for maintaining positions, since complete information is only in the General Staff. With regard to forecasts, it should be borne in mind that it is strategically important for Russia to displace the Ukrainian forces from the Kursk region, even if there are significant losses.
"For the Kremlin, this is a fundamental task, since the presence of Ukrainian troops in the region deprived Moscow the opportunity to dictate the conditions in negotiations on the principle of" peace in exchange in the territory ". On the Ukrainian side, the task is to hold the positions as long as possible. However, if the situation is developed, more likely to develop.
According to military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko, although the situation of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region is not easy, given the fire control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over logistics, but a similar situation is observed in several areas of the front in the Donetsk region, but this does not mean that the Ukrainian garrison is needed from there.
"From the negative - yes, the situation of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region is not easy, given the fire control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over logistics. On the other hand, no matter how it sounds immoral for someone, the same situation with logistics should be in the area of Pokrovsk, the time ravine, the intention of the city and the intention.
garrisons from these cities? He noted that if the Ukrainian troops were going out every time, the line of fighting would be on the Dnieper River. The expert stressed that at his peak, the Kursk operation made it possible to expand the control zone to 1 300 km², taking into account the gray zone and 7 months later, the control zone and the gray zone are 529 km².
These kilometers hamper a 60,000th enemy group "Kursk" and if the Ukrainian troops are removed from there, this "horde" will probably be immersed in the Sumy region, whether it will be relocated to another direction, such as Pokrovskoye or Kupyansk. Earlier, Focus told why, according to the expert on communication of Sergei Beskrest, the call sign "Flash", it is worth withdrawing the Armed Forces from Kursk region.
