There are no more bridges: Glushkovsky district is cut off from Kursk region

Destroying the bridges could cut off supplies to the Russian military in this part of the region

On the night of August 19, Ukrainian troops destroyed the last bridge on the Seim River in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region, reported pro-Kremlin military bloggers Yuri Podolyaka and Vladimir Romanov .

The destruction of bridges across the Seimas threatens Russian units with encirclement

The destroyed bridge across the Seim was located near the village of Karyzh. На прошлой неделе ВСУ уничтожили ещё два моста на реке Сейм – в посёлках Глушково и Званное. Thus, they completely cut off the Glushkovsky district in the north and northwest from the rest of the region.

According to military experts, the destruction of the bridges will stop the normal supply of military personnel located in the southern part of the Glushkovsky region and may force them to leave this territory.

“Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are threatening to encircle Russian forces stationed along the border. Вынудив их отступить, ВСУ смогут быстро занять все пространство между рекой и границей. Firstly, it is simply a very large area. Secondly, the Ukrainian military will receive a good defensive line along the Seim River,” military expert Yan Matveev told Important Stories.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces may open another direction for attack

The isolation of the Glushkovsky district does not at all mean that the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to stand along the river, limiting themselves to taking control of the border lands, says propagandist Alexander Kots. По его мнению, после это украинские войска могут открыть новое направление севернее – в Рыльском районе Курской области – и попытаться расширить плацдарм по реке.

Напомним, ранее «Вёрстка» рассказывала, что наступление ВСУ застала врасплох российское командование. Командиры подразделений побросали необученных ведению боевых действий солдат-срочников на произвол судьбы: без оружия и инструкций. В результате десятки из них погибли, пропали без вести или оказались в украинском плену .
