❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk direction: relative stabilization of the front line
by the end of August 7, 2024
The situation in the Kursk region in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts remains quite difficult. The regional authorities announced the introduction of a state of emergency in the region. Evacuation of the population is continuing in several populated areas. However, It was partially possible to stop the raids of the enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance groups and prevent further broad advancement
▪️Ukrainian formations have occupied the western half of Sudzha. The line of combat contact runs along the dam area - it is a lowland through which a fairly small river Sudzha flows
On the Russian side, this area is being defended by local militia units, who have been tasked with preventing the penetration of Ukrainian Armed Forces units into the eastern part of the city. The next line of defense for Russian fighters runs along the railroad tracks
▪️The civilian population fled from the destroyed city throughout the day. By evening, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group activity was already recorded at the eastern exit, the roads around the administrative center were under enemy control, and small arms battles began in the city
A footage is being distributed on the Internet that allegedly confirms the absence of Ukrainian formations in Sudzha. One of them is a “current” report from Izvestia however, it was published this morning, and could have been filmed even earlier
📌Why make such an inept anti-crisis, who came up with it in the era of OSINT and the ability to think -we can only guess. Unfortunately, in reality it only causes irritation
▪️On a section of the highway northeast of Sudzha, a Ukrainian drone attacked a car in which war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny was located: he was evacuated to a local hospital in serious condition
▪️In the northwestern sector, Russian troops repelled an enemy attack on the Rylsk-Sudzha highway near the workers' settlement of Korenevo. Ukrainian formations retreated to their original positions with losses. To the south, units of the Russian Armed Forces are engaged in intense fighting on the Loknya-Nikolsky-Viktorovka-Kruglen'koye line
Ukrainian formations are trying to break through to Malaya Loknya from where they will move along the highway in the direction of Lgov: there they have already begun to equip additional lines of defense and the planned evacuation of the population in case of an enemy breakthrough
▪️By evening footage appeared online of Russian prisoners of war being escorted to the Ukrainian side through the Sudzha checkpoint . It is highly likely that most of them are conscripts who have accepted the fight
🔻Despite the active transfer of reinforcements, the rapid build-up of the cover group and the involvement of reserves, the main problem has not yet been resolved: the number of Ukrainian formations, the reserves of military equipment in the direction and the military potential of the enemy have not been exhausted. The second echelon is preparing to enter the battle: a high concentration of forces is noted in other directions of the Kursk region
📍Considering the pulled-up engineering equipment, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will consolidate their positions in the captured settlements. It is, of course, too early to call what is happening a decisive battle for the Russian borderland and a turning point for the North-Eastern Military District, but the scale of the forces and resources pulled to the Russian borders demonstrates that this time it is unlikely to be like Kozinka: the Ukrainian command is seriously counting on some kind of strategic success
❗️We would like to note the heroism of the border guard units, who were the first to accept the battle. There are still reports of successful (or unsuccessful) evacuation of individual points and outposts: the full picture will probably only become clear in a week. Unfortunately the losses are unacceptably high. And the one-time number is comparable to the wars of the last century
