Ukrainian Forces Face Mounting Pressure in Kursk Region

Russian troops intensify attacks on Ukrainian supply lines, threatening Kyiv's hold on captured territories near the border.

Ukrainian forces, who entered Russia's Kursk region in August 2024, are experiencing increasing strain as Russian troops target their supply routes.
The Russian military has reportedly gained fire control over key logistics pathways, complicating Ukrainian operations in the region.
Military analysts suggest Kyiv has not implemented sufficient countermeasures to address the escalating logistical challenges.
Russian forces have recently regained control of some previously lost areas, with the city of Sudzha now under heightened threat.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had highlighted the Kursk offensive as a strategic bargaining tool, but setbacks in the region mark a significant challenge to this approach.
