Forbes: Ukrainian Trap Shuts Down In Kursk Region

Russian troops are close to isolation.

The full-scale war in Ukraine continues, and the defenders of the state are trying to isolate a large chunk of Kursk region in the Russian Federation.

The Ukrainian side is attempting to isolate the part of Kursk region that lies between the Ukrainian border and the Seim River - nearly 300 square miles (1 mile is more than 1.6 kilometres) of the region, Forbes writes.

‘It is not clear how many more bridges - permanent or temporary - Ukrainian forces will have to destroy in order to isolate effectively the large section of Kursk region adjacent to the current offensive zone. But they have probably made a lot of progress,’ the piece noted.

The journalists added that, according to commercial satellite images obtained from Kursk region, ‘the three permanent bridges that the Ukrainians attacked between Friday and Monday were the only major permanent bridges in the area.’

‘The Russians may now be relying entirely on pontoon bridges to cross the Seim,’ the article emphasised.

The publication added that Russian forces are actively building temporary pontoon bridges, but they are flimsy and easier to destroy than concrete bridges.

‘If the Ukrainians have concentrated enough reconnaissance and strike assets to destroy three permanent bridges in four days, there is probably no reason why they cannot also destroy any temporary bridges that appear in the same area,’ the journalists believe.
