Ukrainian Armed Forces Repeating ‘Kherson Maneuver’ In Kursk Region

The combat zone will increase by 1.5 times.

The situation in the Kursk region has sharply worsened for the Russian Armed Forces today, on August 16.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have begun to repeat their “Kherson maneuver” during their offensive, which will increase the combat zone by about 1.5 times.

The Russian publication “Agency” writes about this.

To the northwest of Sudzha, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed today a key logistics thread of the Russian Armed Forces — a bridge across the Seim River near the village of Glushkovo.

Already 2 of the 3 bridges in this area have been disabled, due to which the Glushkovo district is about to become a “mousetrap” for Russian soldiers.

If the Ukrainian forces completely destroy the logistics of the Russian Armed Forces across the river and occupy part of the Glushkovo district, the combat zone will increase by about 700 square kilometers.

This option is quite realistic, since this area is already surrounded by Ukrainian forces on three sides.

“In 2022, this scenario, but on a larger scale, was successfully implemented by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region,” the journalists noted.

Military observer Yan Matveyev also believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are aiming to take control of these territories.

“The Ukrainian Armed Forces brought down the bridge over the Seim River near Glushkovo. They hit it with HIMARS missiles until it collapsed. A large and important bridge — without it, the logistics of the border area for the Russian army will be greatly hampered. It is likely that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to attack and advance in this area in the near future,” the expert wrote on Telegram.

In the Kherson region in the autumn of 2022, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the supply lines of Russian troops across the Dnipro River, as a result of which the occupiers were forced to flee to the right bank. They had to leave Kherson — the only regional center captured during the “special military operation”.

At the moment, the combat zone in the Kursk region already exceeds 1,150 square kilometers. Ukrainian forces have achieved such impressive results in just 10 days of offensive, and continue to expand the zone of control in the Kursk region.

If the Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to consolidate on the banks of the Seim, the river will cover their flank and allow them to hold the front line for a very long time. It will be extremely difficult for the Russian army to dislodge the Ukrainians from there.

Experts believe that pontoon crossings will not be a salvation for Russia. Most likely, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will identify them and quickly destroy them.
