Up to 3,000 #Russian Armed Forces soldiers may end up in a “cauldron” in the #Kursk region — #BILD
The destruction of three bridges across the #Seim was a strong blow to the logistics of a significant group of #Russian troops that remain between the river and the #Ukrainian border. #Russia is urgently building pontoon crossings, but even they do not last long, as was the case in the area of #Glushkovo in #Kursk .
#BILD analyst #Julian_Repke reports that between 2,000 and 3,000 #Russian soldiers remain inside the cauldron. #Ukrainian forces continue to advance, & there are 5 km left until the "closure of the cauldron."
Now, the #Russians have two options: either defend this territory or retreat. Given the destruction of the bridges , both options are fatal. Since the group remaining in the "cauldron" can only be supplied by boats or pontoons. They will also have to retreat by swimming, without equipment.
