Ukraine struck in a direction completely opposite to the main direction of the Russian offensive in the Donetsk region. In this place, the Russian army was unprepared to repel a rapid massive attack. It is reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine completely control Sudzha.

There is shooting on the city's borders, mines have been planted on main roads, there is a video of civilian cars coming under small arms fire and shelling. It is unknown from whose side the shooting was carried out. It could have been the Russians, fearing

the sabotage and reconnaissance groups, or it could have been the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because the Russian army often uses civilian transport for movement, again exposing civilians to attack. Strong electronic warfare is operating in the border area and movement of

equipment has been noticed. The Ukrainians are trying to complicate Russian intelligence in order to hide the scale of the offensive as much as possible. The Ukrainian side is still silent and information comes primarily from Telegram channels. So the veracity of some facts

is difficult to confirm. But at the moment, one thing is clear - such an operation is taking place for the first time and its scale is clearly not small. Ukraine is using drones, tanks, armored personnel carriers, engineering vehicles and air defense in this offensive.

Many Russians have surrendered, with reports of about 300 captured Russians. According to Telegram reports, Russian troops have begun to be transferred from Vovchansk to stop the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Z-channels write that no one knows the real current line of combat

clashes in the Russian Forces. There is no communication, no interaction, the Ukrainians pulled up reserves, equipment, fuel overnight, and strengthened the air defense. in case of serious resistance, it does not get bogged down,

it actively maneuvers, bypassing dangerous areas. The Ukrainians are trying to consolidate their positions in the captured territories. This attack, in addition to being a tactical step, has a strong impact on the morale of the Russians. The mood in the publics is

despondent. Discontent is pouring in towards the Russian leadership, which was unable to organize a defense. In less than 3 days, the AFU captured more territory than Russia did in the Toretsk and Pokrovsk directions in last 2 months. Still Russia is advancing on these

two directions. Sometimes things can change quickly. But it is impossible to say for sure what will be a success for this AFU operation and whether it will be successful. Whatever the plan for the Kursk offensive, we support and believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
