Quote: “The heaviest enemy activity is currently on the eastern front, where the katsaps [Russians] have made advances near Mirnoye and Zazulevka [in Kursk Oblast]. The enemy is also consolidating their positions and building up forces in the eastern part of Sudzha. The [Ukrainian] defence forces are holding the appropriate lines to counter the pressure from Muscovites in an effort to stabilise the situation, but it’s incredibly challenging.
On the right flank, in the Guyevo area, we have managed to slow down the advance of the North Korean troops, who are doing all the grunt work for the Muscovites. Time will tell if this hold will last.”
Details: On the left flank of the Kursk front, the Russians are making huge efforts to push towards Basivka in Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast.
“Meanwhile, the defence forces are working to stop these attempts by targeting clusters of enemy personnel and disrupting their movements,” DeepState writes.
Background:
- On 10 March, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reported that the situation on the Kursk front remains under the control of Ukrainian defence forces.
