In the Kursk region, the Russian army carried out an “organized retreat” to the eastern bank of the Seim River in the Tetkino area.
The Telegram channel “Ateo Breaking” writes about this, citing a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that all populated areas were evacuated, and two bridges located in Tetkino and Popovo-Lyachy were blown up as the Ukrainian Armed Forces approached.
Russia also stated that troops had occupied new, pre-prepared defensive lines.
Let us recall that yesterday the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a bridge in Glushkovo, Kursk Region. There are still two bridges left in this area.
If all bridges are destroyed, Russian logistics in this sector will only be able to be carried out via ferries or pontoon bridges.
There are also reports that a number of Russian troops have been surrounded in the area.
Earlier, “Kursor” reported that Ukraine’s advance into the Kursk region could radically change the situation in the war.
Ukraine’s recent achievements in this area have become a landmark moment that could significantly affect the course of the conflict. In a short period of time, Ukrainian troops have achieved results that would have taken Russia many months to achieve.
This underlines the determination and effectiveness of the Ukrainian armed forces, which, despite difficult conditions, continue to strike key strategic targets in Russia. Russia has not yet developed an effective strategy to counter the Ukrainian offensive.
The economic situation in Ukraine, with the support of Western partners, is also improving significantly. Unlike Russia, which is facing growing economic problems, Ukraine is confidently moving towards integration with the European Union and NATO.
Western support not only provides current financial and military resources, but also guarantees long-term assistance in rebuilding the country after the conflict ends.
It is also important to consider the defense capabilities of both sides. Russia has reached the limit of its ability to increase the production of military equipment, which, according to analysts, is the maximum level for the Russian economy. While Ukraine and its Western allies continue to increase their resources, using technological advances to overcome Russia’s quantitative superiority. In this arms race, Ukraine has already demonstrated the ability to implement innovative solutions, which gives it a strategic advantage.
