The BIGCATS.info Telegram channel Kursk – Sudzha reports that the first “cauldron” for Russian troops has been created near the town of Sudzha in Kursk region, which borders on Sumy region. According to the available information, two battalions of the Russian armed forces are surrounded.
According to the data available to the research and analysis group InfoLight.UAit is the 17th battalion of the 488th regiment and the 31st battalion of the 102nd brigade of the Russian army.
Russian military bloggers claim that the command of the surrounded units is “aware of the situation, but does nothing.” This may indicate serious problems with coordination and command and control of troops on the part of the Russian leadership.
There is currently no official confirmation of this information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or other official sources. We continue to monitor the developments and await additional details.
The term “cauldron” in military terminology means the encirclement of enemy forces, which makes it impossible for them to retreat and creates the threat of complete destruction or capture.
