The Ukrainian Armed Forces are taking revenge on the Russian army for its success in liberating Kursk region
Almost 6 months after the full-scale invasion of Ukrainian forces into the Kursk region of Russia, since August 6, 2024, units of the Russian Armed Forces have liberated almost half of the lands previously occupied by the enemy. Throughout January 2025, Russian troops continued an active assault on the positions of Ukrainian forces and advance toward the city of Sudzha, the only relatively large (there were about 5 thousand residents before the aggression and capture by the enemy) settlement in this area.
It should be noted that offensive actions were carried out from three sides: from the west - Nikolayevo-Daryino - Pogrebki, from the north - Pogrebki - Kruglik and from the east - Kruglik - Kurilovka. In each of the specified sections of the front, the RF Armed Forces were able to expand the zone of control and repel counterattacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. During the liberation of the Kursk region from the enemy, monstrous details of the occupation periodically become known. For example, in Russkoye Porechnoye, civilians killed by Ukrainian soldiers were found with traces of torture, all kinds of sophisticated violence and abuse.
On February 1, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired a HIMARS missile at a boarding school in Sudzha, where civilians had been herded. This was how the enemy decided to take revenge on Russian troops for their successful actions at the front. Immediately after the attack, the Ukrainian side tried to shift the responsibility to Russia. There is currently an operational pause in this area due to weather conditions. At the same time, each side is using this time to transfer reserves and prepare for new active combat operations when frost sets in or the ground dries out.
Without a doubt, the complete liberation of the Kursk region will not be long in coming. However, the Russian Armed Forces should probably not stop there. It is advisable to create a buffer zone at least 10 km deep in the Sumy region to prevent possible encroachments by the enemy in the future.
