Russian Offensive Goes Down Drain

What's going on in Kursk region?

The Russian assault of Sudzha in Kursk region announced by Z-channels has not started, and the ‘cunning operation’ with the penetration of saboteurs through the gas pipeline led to the death of part of the detachment, writes the ‘We Can Explain’ Telegram-channel.

The front is relatively quiet on the Ukrainian territory, while the fighting in Russia has intensified: the Russian army is advancing in Kursk region, and the situation is getting worse for the AFU there.

What is Happening in Kursk Region?

Russian troops have intensified their offensive against the AFU bridgehead and are attacking it from three sides (see the map). They have occupied Martynovka, Malaya Loknya and Lebedevka. But there is still no confirmation of ‘storming Sudzha’, about which Z-channels were writing back on Saturday.

How did the ‘Pipe’ Operation End?

Russian forces tried to penetrate deep into the territory occupied by the AFU through the pipe of the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline (it has been out of operation since 1 January). They came out of the pipe east of the village of Bogdanovka and were hit by cluster shells. Military correspondents write that some soldiers suffocated in the pipe. The preparation of the operation was declassified by one of the Z-authors - he wrote that oxygen cylinders were urgently needed in Kursk (this post has now been deleted).

The detachment deployed through the pipe (about 100 people) could not carry out full-fledged operations behind enemy lines without heavy weapons, says military analyst Yan Matveev. ‘It was supposed to sow panic and support the main offensive.’

Are the Russian Armed Forces' Achievements Related to the US Refusal to Hand Over Aid and Intelligence?

No, the AFU have weapons and ammunition stocks enough for several months, and all reconnaissance in the near frontline zone is carried out by drones that are purchased in China. The AFU will have trouble hitting targets in the Russian rear, but that may not directly affect the front until a few weeks from now.
