The first days of fighting in Ukraine, without the support of the United States, witnessed its forces, which forced to abandon more Russian lands they seized last year in the Kursk region.

Russia has intensified its attack in Corsak during the weekend, and is now threatening to cut the narrow corridor between Ukraine and the city of Soda, which Kiev seized in a sudden attack last August.

This deterioration comes at a time when Ukrainian soldiers face the possibility of fighting without supporting the United States before decisive talks with the United States in Saudi Arabia this week. “The situation in the Kursk region is very difficult and it can turn into a disaster if we do not act urgently to clarify the logistical roads,” wrote Ukrainian military blogger Bouhdan Miroshnikov late on Saturday.

Observers said that Ukraine may have withdrawn from several villages near its Sodes, based on the analysis of the fighting footage. On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that its forces had seized Lebedevka, a village about 10 kilometers from the city center, in addition to the village of Constantinopille, in the southern part of the eastern Donetsk area in Ukraine.

Both Ukrainian and Russian military bloggers have reported a raid by Russian forces through a gas pipeline to bypass Ukrainian lines in Kursk, although the accounts differ from the outcome of the raid.

Ukrainian soldier Miroslav Hi On Saturday, he claimed that RAID was hunting, where Ukrainian paratroopers have installed an ambush for the Russian forces that left the tunnel.

Ukraine President Voludmir Zelinski has repeatedly said that controlling the Corsak region would use a financial lever in future negotiations with Moscow.

But the roads that allow Ukraine to provide its forces in the Kursk region now under a fixed barrage of drones. SUDZHA is only 10 kilometers from the Ukrainian border on the R200 Highway, which linked Russia and Ukraine before the war and is one of the main measurement stations for the export of Russian gas to the European Union.

The attacks on the Russian and North Korean forces have decreased repeatedly and repeatedly the area that the Ukrainian forces have kept about two -thirds since last August.

In the battlefield, drone dominance as well as Russia’s dependence on small attacks and infiltration tactics means that the United States’s decision to suspend weapons delivery in the wake of the catastrophic White House meeting between Donald Trump and Zelinski may not feel immediately by the front lines forces.

“The war has changed a lot,” said Dennis Yaroslavsky, head of the intelligence unit in the 57th Brigade, who was deployed in the border town of Fovshansk. “Nowadays, we use FPV drones much more than the artillery that our partners have provided to us, and APCS and tanks are rarely used, except sometimes by offensive elements.”

The most disturbing thing for KyIV was to close the intelligence cooperation with the United States as well as the possibility of losing access to the wide range of the ELON Musk.

“I literally challenged Putin to one of a single material battle on Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. The front line will completely collapse if it stops it,” Musk books On Sunday morning. “What I fell ill with is the years of slaughter on a dead end that Ukraine is definitely losing. Anyone who really cares, really thinks and really understands that the meat mill stop. Peace now !!”

A continuous attack by drones helped to stop Russian forces on Ukraine in a stop in other areas of the front lines.

The Ukrainian public corners have reported 24 clashes on the Boucrufsk front on Saturday, which is one of the lowest numbers in that region from the front lines since the beginning of the year. Russian forces arrived in the outskirts of the industrial city of Boukrovsk in late August and have since tried to overcome them from the south.

Despite the loss of Konstyantynopil during the weekend, the Ukrainian forces managed in recent weeks to launch counter -attacks and restore many villages, and a partial result of the deployment of fresh drones and the best coordination.

“It is not truly a counter -attack yet, but we are moving to the active defense, and the line is no longer collapsing anymore,” said Ukrainian military blogger Olixander Carbiok.

But the most famous hard attack, which witnessed the Russian forces suffering from severe victims, also contributed to the evaluation of Russian attacks.

“Our men have acted brilliantly, especially at the tactical level,” said one of the senior Ukrainian officials. “But it is a temporary stability resulting from a good part of Russian exhaustion. They will re -assemble their ranks and attack again.”
