Consequences of Bridge Denmark: Russian troops near Kursk were trapped (map)

According to the German analyst Julian Ryopke, the Russians will either have to continue the fight for this territory, or retreat to the other bank of the river. But both options for them are fatal. Thousands of Russian servicemen were trapped in the Kursk region after Ukrainian troops have destroyed all three bridges across the Seimas River in Glushkiv district in the last three days. This was announced on August 20 by a military expert of the German newspaper Bild Julian Ryopke.

It is noted that Ukrainian troops are moving deep into Russia from the East and West. Therefore, in conditions where the north of the Seimas was undermined, the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will be difficult to define. In addition, in the west, the Fighters of the Armed Forces have already crossed the border and took control of a small section of the territory of the Russian Federation in 15 square meters. km to the Seimas River, where the bunnie village is located.

"The Russians are now a simple choice: either fight and defend this territory or retreat. Apparently, both options for them are fatal," - writes a German analyst. Thus, after the destruction of the last bridge across the river, the evacuation of the population and the supply of Russian troops now depends entirely on the number of boats and the construction of enough pontoon bridges. According to the analyst, the Ukrainian troops remained 2. 6 km to the Seimas River to close the boiler.

The situation is also similar in the area of ​​root, where the Ukrainian forces are fighting for the village of the same name and a railway station. If the Russians lose this settlement, it will also mean the closure of the boiler, since there is a forest between the village and the Seim River and there are no large roads.

There is currently no accurate data on the number of Russian troops that are on this section of the front, but it is suggested that the total area of ​​the boiler is 700 square meters. Km There are approximately 3,000 Russian servicemen - 1000 fighters in the districts of Totkino and Glushkovo and another 1000 along the border with Ukraine. It is still unclear whether the Ukrainian army has sufficient offensive potential to capture an area of ​​20 by 35 kilometers.

Only in this case will she be able to use the boiler created by her to win the group of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "But it should be said that this battle is not crucial. Because we do not know how much strength is left in Ukraine," Ryopke summed up. We will remind, according to ISW, the Russian command may have decided to relocate units from the direction of the ravine to the Kursk region to strengthen the counteraction to the Ukrainian offensive.
