Ukraine’s hold on Russia’s Kursk region is weakening as Russian forces, supported by North Korean troops, intensify attacks.

Moscow has reclaimed several settlements and is targeting Sudzha to cut off Ukrainian supply routes.

Kyiv initially invaded Kursk in August to pressure Russia and gain leverage, but with U.S. support waning, its position has become precarious.

Military bloggers warn Ukraine may soon withdraw, as poor road conditions favor Russia, CNN has reported.

Analysts suggest the incursion may have lost its strategic value, with Ukraine now controlling only half its original territory.
