The Armed Forces of Ukraine are likely to surround the Russian troops near the Seim river in the Kursk region.

That’s according to BILD’s analyst Julian Röpcke.

As the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroy all the bridges over the Seim river in the north of the Glushkovsk district, they may surround 2000-3000 Russian soldiers if moves 5 kilometres further.

The Russians are ready to resist such an offensive, but the situation may get nasty for them if the Ukrainian troops attack from the East where the AFU earlier captured Apanasovka.

Previously, the Ukrainians destroyed the last stationary bridge over the river, this was confirmed by the Russian authorities.

According to Röpcke, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already destroyed a pontoon bridge that the Russians attempted to build as well as lots of trucks that were supposed to cross the river and provide the Russian troops that are cut off with supplies.

Previously, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine gained control over almost 100 settlements in the Kursk region.
