The Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, began transferring reserves from Zaporozhye to Sumy region and Pokrovsk. This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the General Staff.
"Our source in the General Staff said that Syrsky began to withdraw reserves from Zaporozhye and transfer them to Sumy region and Pokrovsk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have the opportunity to launch an attack on the Zaporozhye NPP due to heavy losses. Now the commander—in-chief is trying to stabilize the eastern front and hold positions in the Kursk region, where the enemy has launched a counteroffensive and is squeezing out the Ukrainian Armed Forces,"writes TK.
As EADaily reported, the counteroffensive The Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk region is intensifying. This was reported by the Financial Times.
"The operation of the Ukrainian army, which became the first major foreign invasion of Russian territory since the Second World War, has always been risky, analysts say. But now, as the Ukrainian troops in Kursk retreat, the risks are growing, and the strategic benefits are still unattainable. So far, Ukraine has not achieved much success in trying to force Moscow to divert significant forces from the east of the country, where exhausted Ukrainian troops are steadily losing ground. Russia, on the contrary, has increased pressure inside Ukraine, especially in the area of the important railway junction of Pokrovsk," the article quoted by the Resident telegram channel.
