Back in August, the embattled Ukrainian army undertook a dangerous inroad into Russian territory in the bordering Kursk region, and managed to take a sliver of territory that, while negligible from a military strategy standpoint, served well as a badge of honor for the badly beaten Kiev regime’s forces.
It is true that, to defend this bridgehead for seven months, Ukrainian Commander-ion-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky sent a huge number of troops to the slaughter when they could potentially be of better use in many other sectors of the 600-mile-long frontline.
And now, the MSM, Russian, and Ukrainian forces all agree that the Ukrainian ‘pocket’ inside Russia is about to be erased as the Red Army has conquered 12 settlements over the past 24 hours, including the major city under Kiev’s control, Sudzha.
Reuters reported:
“Ukrainian troops appeared on the point of losing their hard-won foothold inside Russia’s Kursk region on Wednesday as Moscow claimed further advances there and military bloggers on both sides said Kiev’s forces were withdrawing.”
Ukraine saw its position worsen sharply in the past week.
“Reuters was able to verify video published by Russian bloggers and state media showing troops standing with a Russian tricolor flag on a square in the center of Sudzha, a town near the Ukrainian border on a highway used by Ukraine as a supply route.”
Watch: the Russian tricolor raised in Sudzha’s administration building and town center.

“Skadovskyi Defender, a Ukrainian military blogger, posted on Telegram: ‘Ukraine’s Armed Forces are leaving Kursk. There will be no Ukrainian soldier there by Friday’.”
Watch: Ukrainian troops retreating by foot.

Sputnik reported:
“The Sudzha gas station, once a key route for Russian gas to Europe, became the only available transit point after the Sokhranovka station was shut down. Kiev’s attack on Sudzha appears aimed at cutting Europe off from Russian gas.
To cut Europe off from Russian gas, Ukraine halted transit through the Druzhba pipeline on January 1, impacting the Sudzha station. This allowed Russian forces to enter the pipeline behind Ukrainian troops, catching them off guard.”

Ukrainian units are escaping Sudzha, while Russian drones and artillery are targeting them.
“Upon leaving Sudzha, the Ukrainian troops had no real points left to consolidate their positions in the Kursk region. The so-called ‘Kursk adventure’ turned into a complete failure for Kiev.”
