Russia says she has resumed two other locations in Kursk
The Russian Defense Ministry has assured this Saturday that the towns of Rubanshchina and Zaoleshenka, in the border region of Kursk, have resumed Ukrainian hands. The Ukrainian army, meanwhile, has officially confirmed that it has retreated from the city of Sudzha, whose taking had announced the forces of Moscow on Thursday.
In a map published by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the area under Ukraine control in Kursk has retracted towards the border, leaving Sudzha in Russian hands. Under Ukraine control, the Russian towns of Oleshnia and Goholivka are maintained, between five and six kilometers from the border, according to this map, and, to the south, that of Güevo, a scarce kilometer from the border, and where there have been no changes in recent days.
kyiv’s troops also keep a small area to western Southzha, separated from the other, although adjacent to the Russian-Ukraine border, where the small town of Nikolaevo-Darino is located.
President Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, acknowledged on Friday that the situation is “very difficult” in Kursk, where the Russian army yesterday gave the town of Goncharovka, 3,000 inhabitants and on the outskirts of Sudzha.
According to the part of the Ukrain Staff this Saturday, in the last 20 hours 20 clashes were recorded in Kursk and the enemy made 19 bombings with 28 guided air pumps and fired 232 artillery projectiles.
Ukraine conquered a part of Kursk’s Russian border region in a surprise offensive last summer, but in recent days he has been forced to retreat almost completely from the area. (EFE)
