‼️🇺🇦 🏴☠️Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are making their way dozens of kilometers on foot to get out of the Kursk region, where the Russian army is advancing. Main roads under fire from the Russians
▪️Ukrainian soldier S. Karyakin believes that the problems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces began long before the current breakthrough of Russian troops. The reason was the elongation of the bridgehead, "it was a precarious position, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to hold it," he told the Financial Times.
▪️The objectives of the operation in the Kursk region for Ukraine were changing on the fly, a source told the FT. Initially, the operation was conceived as a deep but short-term raid, but then the plan changed to holding territory, "which exposed Ukrainian troops to greater risk."
▪️According to Karyakin, one of the problems was that Starlink does not work on Russian territory. Then, after a series of offensives by the Russian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were left with only one road to Ukraine.
▪️“Day X” came in late December, when a vehicle on the only remaining supply route was destroyed by a Russian drone, Karyakin said. “That was the beginning of the end of our logistics in the Kursk region.”
▪️From that point on, swarms of drones targeted anything that moved along the road, making it extremely difficult to supply troops. Soon, evacuating the wounded became virtually impossible, and troops were stuck in trenches for weeks without the ability to rotate.
▪️In parallel, Russia transferred its best unmanned systems units to Kursk, as well as North Koreans, who “quickly adapted to the conditions, becoming an effective combat force.”
▪️By February, "it was getting worse and worse." After Sverdlikovo fell, the only route to Sudzha was now under constant fire, as were the roads through the fields. "The advance was always 50-50, and unfortunately, not everyone got there," Karyakin said.
❓Now “the Ukrainians will continue to fight for part of the Kursk region, because, obviously, if they cross the border, Russia may follow them.”
▪️The invasion will likely be viewed in history books as a "gamble," according to military expert Michael Kofman. "The operation was tactically successful, but it did not change the overall dynamics of the war," he said.

‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump Administration Imposes More Restrictions on Russia's Oil, Gas, and Banking Sectors — CBS
▪️These restrictions will make it difficult for other countries to buy Russian oil, which will complicate its supply to world markets. This could lead to a jump in oil prices, the TV channel believes
▪️CBS also writes that by tightening sanctions, the White House is trying to convince Russia to accept the terms of the proposed 30-day ceasefire
▪️The media clarifies that Trump did not introduce new sanctions against Russia. Their tightening, which was written about by a Fox News journalist, is connected with the expiration of the terms of exceptions to the sanctions that were introduced under Biden.
▪️Today, the license issued in January, which allowed foreign companies to make payments for Russian oil through sanctioned Russian banks, expired, explains the CBS News channel.
▪️Trump did not renew this license.
▪️At the same time, no new restrictions that did not exist before Trump came to power have been reported.
However, it will now become more difficult to buy Russian oil.
