In this regard, a number of Ukrainian military experts spoke about the further actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In particular, there are options for stabilizing the front line or vice versa, attempts to invade the Sumy region. Since the beginning of the Kursk operation, the head emphasized, Ukrainian troops have caused significant losses to the Russian forces.
From August 6 last year to March 12, the total losses of the enemy were about 55 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Of these, 22. 2 thousand are irreversible losses, more than 31 thousand - sanitary, 942 - captives. In addition, it was destroyed: Syrsky also noted that Russian aviation has made a record number of blows in its own territory. In particular, as a result of Sudzhi Air Force, this settlement was virtually destroyed.
At the same time, Russian troops, together with the units of the DPRK, continue to put pressure on defense forces. "Despite the increased pressure of the Russian-North Korean Army, we will keep the defense in the Kurshchyna as long as it will be appropriate and necessary," he summed up.
Commenting on the situation in the Kursk region, a military expert, a colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Grabsky on the air of TV channel "Kiev 24" suggested that the North Korean soldiers who are fighting in the army of the Russian Federation can try to move to Sumy region. Although it is difficult to predict further actions of Russian troops, because, despite significant losses, the enemy continues attacks. "In the case of the Russians, it is very difficult to predict their actions.
In view of the level of their losses, they should stop with their promotion in the Donbass . . . But they do not count with it," Grabsky said. He also answered the question if the North Korean troops were involved in hostilities in the Kursk region, cross the border and enter the Sumy region. "They can. There is no clear indicator on the border that Russia is here, and here is Ukraine. They perform combat missions.
And the promotion in the new area looks like a task to capture the main logistics highway," the expert said. At the same time, Grabovsky suggested that significant losses suffered by Russian troops in other areas of the front may force the enemy's command to review plans and not risk further promotion. "From a military point, one of the options may be that the Russians will leave stabilization forces and other units can be transferred to other areas of the front," the colonel emphasized.
In this regard, a military analyst from Azerbaijan Agil Rustamzade also said. He assessed the situation in the context of diplomatic processes that were launched in Saudi Arabia, as well as possible future negotiations. "One of the main" trumps "on the negotiating table will be the situation on the front line. Fixing the front line will strengthen the position of Ukraine, and for the Russian Federation on the contrary.
