Russia prompted the Ukrainian forces from most of the lands they control in the Russian region of Korsk during the past week, raising questions about whether US intelligence cuts for a week helps materially the Russian counter -attack.

The United States has said it had re -participated in intelligence and military aid to Ukraine on Tuesday night, after Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire plan that was discussed in Riyadh for nine and a half hours.

Russian efforts to restore Kursk on March 6, a day after the White House cut off military aid and intelligence to Ukraine.

The Russian forces said 32 times in Kursk.

According to Russian military reporters, Russia gave the priority of that front, moving some of the best drones there and spreading an electronic war to prevent Ukrainian anti -aircraft attacks.

This effort became more clear on Friday, March 7, when Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian border areas in Sumi for the first time since the beginning of the Russian invasion in 2022, in an attempt to surround the Ukrainian forces in Kursk from the south and cut off the supply lines.

On Saturday, the Russian forces seized several settlements north of Soudha, the main Ukrainian stronghold in Kursk, and began shooting at the same regret. One of the Russian operations included the infiltration of the industrial zone by making the soldiers crawl into a gas pipeline.

The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom reported that Ukraine was studying withdrawal to avoid tweet, but the Ukrainian Supreme Commander, Olexander Serski, said on Monday, “There is no threat to encourage the Ukrainian units in the Corsak region.”

However, he sent drone reinforcements and electronic warrior.

By Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had recovered more than 100 square meters (40 square meters) in Corsak, including dozens of settlements.

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Kremlin Dmitry Peskov, told the media on Wednesday that a powder had been edited.

Data from our army shows that our forces have successfully advanced in the Kursk region because they liberate those controlled areas [Ukrainian] Armed men.

Later on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the first time in months and a day later, the Kremlin claimed that the Moscow operation in Corsak was in its last stage.

Ukraine arrested Russia outside its goalkeeper in August last year, and succeeded in benefiting from one section of 11,000 soldiers to design an estimated 78,000 Russian soldiers, which led to the slowdown in Russia’s progress in eastern Ukraine, embarrassing Putin and forcing him to seek help from 12,000 gatherings in North Korea last November.

The Washington -based West Research Institute has evaluated that the Russian forces managed to restore 655 square meters (250 square meters) by last month, more than half of the Korsk lands that Ukraine kept at the height of its work.

Ukraine launched Sudden attacks in early January and February to unify their positions, which indicates the importance she put on your corses as an active defense.

Ukrainian military analyst Petro Chernyk expressed the view that “Putin gave a fixed matter to expel our group from there by May 9, and if this does not happen, that would really be a very serious ideological defeat,” in one of the interviews, referring to the anniversary of the Berlin power by the Soviet forces in 1945.

A source of the Ukrainian government told Time magazine that the role of the United States intelligence was the key to Russian progress, as Ukraine was unable to discover the departure of the Russian striker and aircraft or the use of US intelligence to put the target coordinates of the latest weapons.

After the President-the United States allowed at that time, President Biden allowed Ukraine to use Roxs to hit deep into Russia. Last NovemberMaria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said this step was “direct involvement in the United States and its satellites.”

Europe to save?

The Europeans rushed to find alternatives to the intelligence of the US government and the Starlink satellite system used by the Ukrainian forces to communicate and coordinate a counter fire.

Four satellite operators in France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg told the Financial Times on Friday that they were providing services to replace Starlink.

Maxar Technologies, a commercial satellite imaging company, said that European governments managed to transfer their photos to Ukraine, although the United States has stopped doing so.

Europe has also tried to intensify its connections from weapons to prevent Ukraine from suffering the setbacks similar to those in early 2024, when American military aid was suspended for six months.

On Saturday, Ukrainian Defense Secretary Rostam Omerov met with eight countries in the northern European and Balti – Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania – to coordinate weapons delivery operations.

“We are awaiting important decisions that will help Ukraine to enhance its defensive capabilities,” he said.

Ukraine was holding talks with Poland and Lithuania to intensify joint production of weapons and ammunition.

Umerov has signed two major agreements for the private sector-one with Dehl Defeense in Germany, which makes the IRIS-T air defense system, which he said “will increase three times the width of missiles and air defense systems”, and one with Andrill in favor of the advanced drone advanced by the International Fund of Orkrin.

Germany, which provided 37 billion euros (40 billion dollars) of military and financial aid during the reign of Chancellor Olaf Schools, announced on March 6 that it would raise its defensive spending up to 1 trillion euros ($ 1.09 trillion) under an expected alliance between Christian Democrats and Social Democrats. Opinion polls suggested three quarters of the Germans supported this.

Ukraine also expands its industrial base for local defense in an impressive manner, and now provides 40 percent of its own weapons.

The Ukraine Ministry of Defense said it will three times its purchase of drones from the first person this year.

“The capabilities of the local defense industry in 2025 amount to about 4.5 million FPV aircraft, and the Ministry of Defense plans to purchase all of them,” said Jleib Kenifesky, head of purchases. These numbers did not include long -term drones used to hit deeply inside Russia.

Deep strikes inside Russia and Ukraine

Those deep strikes continued last week, despite US intelligence.

Ukraine said that huge Ukrainian drones had succeeded in hitting Moscow and Air Force Base Diyajilif in Raysan on Tuesday. The government wire service was reported by a total of 337 drones, 91 of which on Moscow. The Russian authorities stated that three people were killed and wounded 18.

The Ukrainian General Staff said that they struck the Rayzan Refine on Sunday, which they said was the production of jet fuel. The next night, the employees said they struck the Novokuybyshev refinery in the Samara area, which they said the fuel production of the northern gathering of Russia. Andre Kovalinko, head of the misleading information center, said the factory was one of the 10 largest in Russia.

Kovalinko also said that the Ukrainian forces struck the NLMK metal factory in Novolitsk, in Kursk. Kovalinko said that rolled steel is used in ships and submarines, combat vehicles, missiles and aircraft.

Russia also struck Ukraine with one of its largest drones in the war.

At least 11 people were killed when Russia has made a joint strike using the Eskander Ballistan missile, multiple launch missiles from Tornado and neighbors in the town of Dobubilia on March 7. The losses were high because the Russian aircraft attacked in two waves to kill the first respondents.

The DobroPillya attack was part of a country shower of 67 missiles and 194 drones.

The French Mirage Jets, which the French mirage, entered the fight for the first time in the war, as it came out of the Russian KH-101 missiles.

The data collected by ISW showed that there was a huge increase in the size of the Russian drone attacks since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, as Russia has tried to benefit from its position before the expected peace talks.
