Ukraine

From Grok:

As of March 8, 2025, the Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region are not fully encircled but are in a critical and precarious position, described as “almost” or “nearly surrounded” by multiple sources. Russian forces have made significant advances, cutting off most supply lines and isolating a large portion of the Ukrainian force (estimated at 6,500–10,000 troops) with a very narrow land corridor as their only connection to the border. However, Ukrainian forces still hold some positions, such as Sudzha, and have demonstrated the ability to resist Russian moves, as seen in the ambush near Sudzha.

The situation is dynamic, and the encirclement could be completed if Russian forces succeed in cutting the remaining corridor, as indicated by ongoing operations. The X post’s claim of a complete encirclement may be an exaggeration or based on preliminary reports, but the broader context from credible sources suggests the Ukrainian forces are on the brink of being fully encircled unless they can break out or receive support.

Classic Russian tactic. They’ve used that several times so far. Pincer the enemy, then start squeezing, and closing the escape route. It’s been highly effective, so why do it differently?

Very classic tactic. The caldron.

Russians are oddly casualty adverse so drones and glid bombs will clear out this infestation.

When will the “internationals” start screaming about their “Advisers” being slaughtered. A lot of British accents on the Kursk chatter.

Indeed it is a classic Russian military tactic, and it does work. Now the ukies (and others who are there, but not “officially” get to experience the FO part that follows the FA.

This is tragic. Those men are dying for nothing.
This is the kind of thing for which former dictators are dragged through the street and hanged upside down.

You are speaking of the midget asshole known as Zelensky, right?
