“ It’s the most violent fighting — I haven’t seen anything like it all along the course of a peculiar military operation, ” says a soldier named Hades, who has about 200 soldiers under his command.
"Bammut 2.0"
Another Russian commander confirms that the cost of fighting for the course circuit is almost unbelievable. “The bloodshed, the victims, is simply unimaginable,” he says.

Struggles for Suja became 1 of the most fierce on the Russian-Ukrainian front. Both sides placed any of their most capable units on that section of the front.
The city is located 9 km from the border. 5,000 people lived in Ukraine before starting a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
There is simply a Gazprom station there. By her, and then by Ukraine, gas was transported to Europe. The only remaining direct way the natural material went to the EU was out of usage as Ukraine halted the transit of blue fuel through its territory in early 2025.
The previously mentioned Hades, a erstwhile vasner, fights in the Chechen Achmat Battalion. This unit, due to its loose structure, is most akin to Wagner's erstwhile Group, the no longer existing mercenary formation under the leadership of Evgeny Prigozyn.
W There are many another vasners who claim that the fighting for Ukraine's occupied territories in the Kursk Oblast will become even more bloody.

At the same time, as the fresh York Times says, the Russian soldiers, with whom journalists of the American paper spoke, were incapable to clearly formulate the objectives and reasons for the war against Ukraine.
Approximately 2-3 1000 civilians stay in Ukraine's occupied part of the Kursk region. They hide in basements and in sheltered buildings. 1 specified building, a boarding school from Suja, was bombed on 1 February.
