Russian forces have redeployed approximately 50,000 troops to the Kursk region, according to Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. This movement has reportedly weakened Russian positions in other areas, including Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kramatorsk. The shift in troops has led to intensified Russian offensives in the Kursk direction, aiming to control key logistical junctions north of Sudzha. Ukrainian forces have faced significant challenges, including a brutal ambush near Veseloe, resulting in the loss of valuable equipment such as the CV90, Marder, M-2, and Stryker vehicles.
