Over the past three days, the situation in the Kursk Oblast of the aggressor country of russia has significantly worsened for Ukrainian troops, who may find themselves surrounded.
This was reported by Reuters on Friday, March 7, citing open-source map data and the opinion of military analyst Psi Paironen of the Finnish company Black Bird Group.
The unstable situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk Oblast arose after the United States suspended the exchange of intelligence with Ukraine. According to the publication, the Ukrainian troops found themselves almost surrounded, which could be a serious blow to Kyiv's plans to use this territory as leverage in negotiations with Moscow.
"The situation in Ukraine in Kursk has deteriorated sharply over the past three days, open-source maps show, after russian troops recaptured the territory in a counteroffensive that nearly cut Ukrainian forces in two and cut off the main group from key supply lines," the article says.
According to Paironen, the situation in the Kursk Oblast is very bad. According to him, there is little time left before the russian occupiers can be surrounded or forced to retreat.
"If Ukrainian troops cannot quickly restore the situation, this may be the moment when the Kursk Bulge begins to finally close in on an encircled pocket," the expert said.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on March 7, DeepState project analysts reported that the russian military had advanced in the Kursk Oblast thanks to the use of military personnel from North Korea.
On March 4, OSINT analysts from the Ukrainian DeepState project stated that the army of the aggressor country, russia, had advanced in the west of the Donetsk Region and in the Kursk Oblast of the russian federation, where the operation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces is ongoing.
