Blogger Yuriy Podolyaka reported that the situation in the Kursk region continues to deteriorate: the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are strengthening their positions and, according to the latest data, their units have already entered the village of Makhnovka. According to Podolyaki, objective data confirm this information, which raises serious concerns about further developments.

Sudzha, a key settlement in the area, according to Podolyaki, is in danger of being lost and could be finally captured by Ukrainian troops tomorrow.

“The data of the Ukrainian Armed Forces entering Makhnovka have been confirmed. Now there is objective control data for this. This means that tomorrow we may finally lose Sudzha.”, - said Podolyaka.

In addition, Podolyaka reports that information has been received about the presence of Ukrainian troops in the village of Giryi, and we are not talking about sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRG), but about full-fledged infantry on heavy equipment. This, according to the blogger, indicates that the enemy is deeply enveloping the Russian group in the Sudzha area, creating a springboard for a further attack on the southern and eastern directions.

“There is also information that the enemy was seen in the village. Giryi. Moreover, not the DRG, but the infantry on heavy equipment. If this is so, then the enemy is deeply enveloping our group in Sudzha and preparing a springboard for movement to the south and east,” - he reports.

Podolyaka expresses concern that the density of Russian forces in the area remains low, which creates additional risks for defense. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to build up their forces, despite significant losses. According to Russian intelligence, Ukrainian troops have brought units of four brigades into the territory of the Kursk region and their numbers continue to increase.
