Fighting in the Kursk region
The Ukrainian Defense Forces launched an operation in the Kursk region in early August 2024. The Russian forces are trying to push the UAF from their positions.
Since early March, the situation in the Kursk region has worsened. RBC-Ukraine sources report that Russian troops are attempting to cut the Sudzha-Sumy road to create an operational encirclement of Ukrainian forces.
Russian forces have advanced toward the city of Sudzha. The Russian Ministry of Defense has already claimed control over the city.
More information about the battles in the Kursk region and whether the UAF can hold the buffer zone is in the RBC-Ukraine report.
