Reports indicate that Ukrainian forces in Kursk are facing a dire situation as Russian troops advance and encircle their positions

The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Saturday that its forces had regained control of three villages previously held by Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region of southern Russia, amid a weeks-long retreat by Kyiv's forces.
The ministry confirmed that the recaptured villages are Viktorovka, Nikolayevka, and Staraya Sorochina.
The Russian army has been working for months to expel Ukrainian forces from the border region of Kursk, which saw a Ukrainian incursion last summer.
So far, Moscow has regained about two-thirds of the territory previously controlled by Ukraine in the area.
According to "DeepState," a specialized website close to the Ukrainian military, the Russian advance followed a "breach" of Ukrainian defense lines near the town of Sudzha, which remains under Kyiv's control.
The site, which has 800,000 followers on Telegram, quoted military sources as saying, "One of our units withdrew from its position, allowing the enemy to reinforce its troops and carry out systematic attacks, and this is the result."
Meanwhile, a military source told the Ukrainian newspaper Pravda Ukrainska that Ukrainian soldiers are trying to hold their positions, but Russian forces have "completely cut off supply lines."
Ukrainian activist Serhiy Sternenko wrote on Thursday on the "X" platform that "the logistical situation in the Kursk region is deteriorating rapidly and has become critical."
Sternenko cited information from army units in the area, stating that "logistical routes to Sudzha are now fully under enemy fire control."
Open-source maps this week also showed a sharp deterioration in Ukrainian positions in Kursk, with its forces nearly encircled by Russian troops.
Pro-Russian military blogger Tomajorz wrote on Telegram on Saturday that Russian forces had launched an attack on Sudzha, a large town located about 9.5 kilometers from the border, noting that the situation for Ukrainian troops in Kursk is "approaching critical."
