Northern Strategic Direction: The ZSU will continue prioritizing offensive action in the Kursk Oblast to wrestle the strategic initiative away from the VSRF. Operational-Tactical Group (OTU) Sumy(?) will shift its focus on the defense of the Sudzhalodgment while advancing towards Glushkovo. OUV Kursk will likely attempt to create a cauldron center on the 38K-4 (R200) Highway to force the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Sudzhalodgment. VSRF and ZSU forces will likely continue positional engagements in the Kharkiv region. Belarus will likely not reduce its troop presence in the Gomel and Breast Oblasts. The ZSU will almost certainly keep substantial forces deployed throughout northern Ukraine to deter incursions or false flag actions launched from Belarus. #Sumy #Belarus #Kyiv
