❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Expansion of AFU Control Zone East and North of Sumy
What is known as of 5:00 PM on August 8, 2024

Despite attempts by the Russian joint grouping of forces (troops) to stop the advance of Ukrainian mobile groups, the scale of the crisis is widening: unfortunately, the tactics of Ukrainian formations, focusing on high-speed dashes, bypassing fortified areas and maximizing the zone of breakthrough without consolidation in the first stage, in their simplicity surpass the current capabilities of the Russian army to counterattack.

🔻In the Sudzha district, the zone of conditional control of Ukrainian formations has expanded to 30 km along the Diakonovo - Sudzha road.

▪️Pockets of resistance of the Russian army are being cut off and bypassed along the lateral roads. After the occupation of Kazachya Loknya in the north, as well as Mirnoye and Bondarevka in the south, Ukrainian formations entered Martynivka and engaged the troops stationed there in combat. After that, the settlement of Kruglyk was taken.

At the same time, a mobile AFU group moved along the highway further, reaching Bolshoye Soldatskoye and engaging in combat in the settlement. There are reports that clashes with enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups are also taking place further along the highway.

▪️Fierce battles are raging in the surrounding settlements 15 km south of Lgov.

▪️In the context of active use of enemy electronic warfare in certain areas, the "fog of war" still prevails, so it would be premature to speak of the complete destruction of the strongholds that the enemy has passed or bypassed.

🔻In the Korenevo district, the AFU do not abandon attempts to capture the administrative center.

Simultaneous battles were fought at the entrance to Korenevo, and attempts were made to capture Olgovka and Kremyanoye. For part of the Ukrainian troops advancing in this area, it is necessary both to pin down the forces of the Russian Armed Forces in combat and to break through to the Rylsk - Lgov highway in order to expand the scale of the operational crisis of the Russian Armed Forces and stretch the forces of the Russian troops.

📌At the same time, Ukrainian formations have already begun digging in on the reached lines, introducing a second echelon. The capture of Sudzha has become an inspiring factor for the AFU, with which they are now trying to make up for their losses and demonstrate that the game is worth the candle.

The biggest problem in organizing the defense in the Kursk tactical direction remains the fragmentation of units and the lack of the proper number of forces, which are now allegedly being withdrawn from other directions. At the same time, Russian information resources, which are racing to write the names of brigades and divisions that are about to arrive (but never do), are adding chaos to the information space.

- NEWS - Blinken called Putin's announcement of a change in nuclear doctrine 'irresponsible' - BBC

"I think a lot of people in the world were clear about that when he rattled off nuclear weapons earlier, including China (PRC)." - the US secretary of state added.

In his opinion, it is necessary to declare the inadmissibility of such nuclear rhetoric - especially when the UN General Assembly is taking place in New York, where the need for non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is being discussed, among other things.
