Ukraine Completing Seym River Blockade, About 3,000 Russian Soldiers Trapped by NgeneUkwenu(op): 4:03pm On Aug 20, 2024
Bild: Ukraine close to completing Seym River blockade, about 3,000 Russian soldiers remain in the ring.

Ukraine is close to completing the Seym River cauldron (blockade) in Russia's Kursk Region, and around 3,000 Russian soldiers remain in the ring, writes the German newspaper Bild.

"From August 16, the Ukrainian troops started blowing up the bridges of the Seym River in the north of the Glushkovsky District of the Kursk Region. It can isolate the Russian Armed Forces group, as the territory is surrounded by the territory of Ukraine from the west and south.

In response, Russia organizes pontoon crossings and an air bridge, while defending the remaining passage in the east. Yesterday, the armed forces of Ukraine had occupied the villages of Snagost and Apanasovka. Ukrainian soldiers have 5 km left before reaching the Seym River and complete the full encirclement. 2-3 thousand Russian soldiers remain inside the cauldron.

The state border of the Russian Federation and Ukraine in the south and west of the cauldron is ready for defense. However, it will be difficult for the Russians to defend themselves if the armed forces of Ukraine start the attack from the east.

In addition, in the west, the Ukrainians have already crossed the border and taken control of a small part of Russian territory: 15 square kilometers to the Seym River. Otruba farm is also there.

The Russians now have a simple choice: fight and defend that area, or retreat. Apparently, both options will be fatal for them. However, it must be said frankly that this battle is not decisive, as it is not known how much strength Ukraine has left," Bild added.

Well, that's the hope! But even if there are only 1000 soldiers and almost all get away (via pontoon bridge or swimming), they'll leave their equipment behind. And the land will be captured with minimal fighting by the Ukraine forces.

Less than 100km of land incursion. You want to trade that with almost 25% of Ukrain territory under Russia control? Why are we like this grin grin grin

Always pushing innocent people to early grave, there is almost no man left again in Ukraine. This madness is not worth it.

Hmmm. See the media spin.

Ukraine that's currently losing so much of its territory to the advancing Russian Military inside Ukraine. Smh.
Seems their incursion into Russia was all President Putin needed to justify further taking of Ukraine territories. The war is not balanced at all and it is skewed against Ukraine. We should be investing time to see how the war can stop not spinning propaganda.

This war is not about who bleeds more, it's about who gets hurt more including ego hurt. Russia will win the fight but not the war.
