Russia's Defense Ministry reported regaining full control of Sudzha, a town in the Kursk region, previously captured by Ukrainian forces in August. Although Ukraine has not confirmed this retreat amidst fierce fighting, the loss would weaken Ukraine's strategic position, particularly with U.S. officials heading to Moscow for talks. Ukrainian military commander Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky affirmed the intention to hold ground in the region, highlighting ongoing military tensions as both sides prepare for potential cease-fire discussions.
"Ukraine's top military commander, Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky, stated that Ukrainian forces would maintain their position in the Kursk region for as long as it is reasonable and necessary."
"Russia's Defense Ministry announced control over Sudzha, a significant town previously captured by Ukraine during its surprise offensive last summer, which may influence cease-fire negotiations."
