Russia Close to Cutting Off Ukrainian Troops Fighting in Kursk

Thousands of Ukrainian troops in Russia's Kursk region are nearly surrounded by Russian forces, marking a significant setback for Kyiv, which aimed to leverage its presence in peace talks.

Military analysts report that if Ukrainian forces do not restore the situation quickly, the Kursk salient may close into an encircled pocket, leading to a difficult retreat.
