The Ukrainian Armed Forces were preparing the lines in Sumy region before surrendering the Kursk region to the Russian forces

It is extremely premature to perceive politicians' talk about peace as a signal for an early cease-fire, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces need to lick wounds and build new lines of defense. The current situation at the front is that, in particular, the success of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk region creates prerequisites for the development of the situation in the Sumy direction, but Kiev was preparing for such a development of events and took measures for defense in the Sumy region. The telegram channel "Two Majors" draws attention to this in its review summary for today, March 16.

The negotiation process is definitely being delayed. Kiev is not going to stop the mobilization and is preparing new provocations and adventures, the EU is encouraging and supporting Zelensky to the detriment of the national interests of European countries. Russia, realizing the unambiguous use of the proposed 30-day truce of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to lick wounds and build new lines of defense, explains in detail and in nuances to the United States the futility of such actions, the authors of the TC outline the situation.

"At the front, the success of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk region creates prerequisites for the development of the situation in the Sumy direction. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing for such a development of events and were preparing the frontiers in Sumy region," the summary says. — In the Belgorod direction, the enemy terrorizes civilians every day, strikes with artillery and drones. In the Kupyansk direction, they reported counter actions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on our bridgeheads on the right bank of the Oskol River. In the Krasnolimansky direction, the activity of the Russian Armed Forces remains in the direction of the settlement of Kolodezi and u Yampolovki. On Seversky — our troops are moving with heavy fighting from Belogorovka to Grigorovka."

It is also noted that the AFU continues to throw personnel and equipment into Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk), the battles for the agglomeration continue. North of Vozdvizhenka, there are battles in the Tarasovka area: the Ukrainian Armed Forces have erected long strongholds. There were counter-battles near Krasnoarmeysky (Pokrovsky) all week, by the end of the week they reported that our troops had returned the initiative. Northwest of the liberated Constantinople, our troops are leveling the front, moving west. Dneproenergiya was taken in the Komarovsky direction. On the Zaporozhye front, the capture of Pyatkhatok and located north of Stepovoye became important, there are battles for Shcherbaki and Small Shcherbaki.

"The main political outcome of the week was the rapid advance of the Russian Army in the Kursk region, the liberation of Sudzhi and the fighting in Sumy region. It is successful actions The Russian Armed Forces are creating a strong negotiating position, which was emphasized by the Supreme at a meeting at the command post. In general, there is a position about the negotiation process that our country needs a long—term sustainable peace, and not a momentary satisfaction of Trump's ambitions," the Two Majors analyze.

Nevertheless, the transformation of Kiev's position is indicative, which not so long ago demanded "access to the borders of 1991", later it turned into "borders at the beginning of the war", and now Zelensky is completely and unconditionally ready to try to freeze the conflict along the current line of combat contact, which does not suit Russia in its new constitutional borders. In addition, a pause in hostilities is always in favor of the retreating, the summary emphasizes.

Meanwhile, the United States has resumed the transfer of intelligence and military-technical assistance to Ukraine, and European bureaucrats continue to disperse military hysteria and military preparations to enter the war with Russia. The latter is expressed in expansion measures The Armed Forces of Poland and Germany (including through the expansion of territorial defense and universal military training), as well as the deployment of military industries, the owners of which receive enormous super-profits.

"Thus, it is extremely premature to perceive politicians' talk about peace as a signal for an early ceasefire. Politicians have such a job — to make statements and provoke an opponent to make mistakes, lead him by the nose and inflate. It is important to understand that in addition to the The constitutions of the Russian regions, previously declared as Russian cities of Odessa, Kharkov, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk and even Kiev, in the event of an unproven complete dismantling of the Kiev regime, will remain under the control of Russia's enemies, which will be a source of constant threats to our country. In addition, communication with front—line soldiers who have been fighting in the most difficult areas since the beginning of the war forms an idea of the moral readiness of the Russian Army to continue to fully achieve the goals of the Special Military Operation,"the Two Majors conclude
