US EditionLosing grip on Kursk, Ukraine troops make new incursion into Russia’s Belgorod
- On March 18, Ukrainian troops made marginal advances into Russia's Belgorod region, with geolocated footage showing small advances northwest of Belgorod city, though neither Ukraine nor Russia officially confirmed the incursion.
- The incursion into Belgorod, which borders Ukraine's Sumy, Kharkiv, and Luhansk oblasts, follows reports of Ukrainian forces losing their grip on territory in the Kursk region, and may be aimed at diverting Russian troops from other areas.
- Russian military bloggers reported that Ukrainian forces advanced more than two miles into Belgorod, with heavy fighting involving drones and artillery reported in Popovka and Demidovka, while Rybar reported Russian reinforcements moved from Goptarovka in Kursk to Belgorod.
- According to Emil Kastehelmi, a military analyst with the Black Bird Group, Ukrainians have been putting pressure on Russian forces in the Belgorod border area for over a week, and President Zelensky stated that Ukrainian forces had taken 'certain steps' in Russia outside of Kursk.
- While open-source intelligence suggests Kyiv's forces maintain a presence in some parts of the Belgorod region, and Ukraine's General Staff reported repelling 18 Russian attacks in the Kursk region, Russia claimed to have recaptured Gogolevka, though Deep State analysis indicates Ukraine still holds some territory there, and Russia is intensifying efforts to push Kyiv's troops out of Kursk.
