Apart from taking back large chunks of Kursk from Kyiv, Russia has even managed to seize control of parts of Sumy, a Ukrainian border town that used to be well fortified by Zelenskyy's forces
Russian units from the North group of forces continue to develop an offensive in the Kursk region, regaining significant territories.
Days after Donald Trump cut military aid, and a day after he blindfolded Ukraine’s forces by suspending intelligence sharing, Russia has carved into Ukrainian-held Kursk, escalated air raids and bombed civilian cities.
The situation for the Ukrainian troops, who continue to occupy parts of the Russian border region of Kursk, is becoming increasingly precarious.
"Difficult battles continue in the border area of Sumy Oblast, Russian assault units are attempting to breakthrough and move toward a highway from Yunakivka to Sudzha in Kursk Oblast," said Andrii Kovalenko,
