Situation in the Kursk region
In the Kursk region, Ukrainian troops repelled 22 Russian attacks on Thursday, March 13, and there were 146 combat clashes in the last 24 hours. Earlier, there were reports of a rapid retreat of the Ukrainian army from this region, which was said to have allowed the Russians to regain control over the town of Sudzha.
Some commentators, including those from "Le Monde," suggest that Ukrainian forces may be leaving these areas under pressure from U.S. authorities, who are conducting peace negotiations with Kyiv and Moscow.
