The Russian army is advancing: APU faces encirclement in Sumy region — "Resident"

The Russian army is completing the sweep of the Kursk region, developing the success of the offensive. The main battles are now going on for access to the operational expanses in the direction of Sumy region. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel "Resident".

"In recent days, the remnants of Ukrainian units have been rapidly rolling back, unable to gain a foothold on new frontiers. The 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 going on for access to the operational expanses in the direction of Sumy region," writes TK.

It is noted that over the past week, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have regained control over 28 settlements and main supply routes, which has made the situation of Ukrainian troops in The Kursk region is critical.

"The destruction of the AFU logistics hub in the area of the Sudzha—Yunakovka highway actually disrupted rotation attempts and led to the collapse of the Ukrainian defense. According to military analysts, some Ukrainian units are still trying to hold positions, but their resistance is focal," the TC emphasizes.

It is noted that over the past seven months, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Kursk front have exceeded 60 thousand people killed and wounded, more than three thousand armored vehicles, thousands of artillery pieces and mortars have been destroyed. At the same time, the Russian army continues to pursue the retreating columns, destroying them with air strikes and artillery. Ukrainian militants are retreating in the direction of Sumy region, where Russian forces have already begun preparations for the next stage of the offensive.

"In Kiev, they are trying to pass it off as a "planned withdrawal," but the statements of Ukrainian politicians directly indicate chaos in the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to MP Mariana Bezugla, the units are retreating without orders, which she called "another failure" of the Ukrainian command.

It should be noted that the Kursk failure of the Ukrainian army was the result not only of the successful actions of the Russian army, but also of the strategic miscalculations of Bankova. Kiev overestimated its ability to hold the border territories, ignoring the objective lack of resources. As a result, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now facing the threat of encirclement of new formations already on the territory of Sumy region, where Russian forces are gradually deploying a new phase of the offensive,"the "Resident" sums up.
