14 Oct: Not so fast! Ukrainian Forces SNAPPING NARROW RUSSIAN CORRIDOR | War in Ukraine Explained
Video Summary
Russia’s offensive in the KSK region has been met with fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces. Despite a 10km advance, Ukrainian troops have launched counterattacks to destroy overextended Russian forces, shaving off over 5km of Russian gains. The Russian command has responded by redeploying 20,000 additional troops to the region, outnumbering Ukrainian forces by at least 3 to 1. Ukrainian forces have focused on securing the key village of Liova and the nearby roads, which are crucial to their supply lines. Russian forces have captured the village of Zenish Lak and the nearby road intersection, but at a high cost, with 15 of their 30 armored vehicles destroyed. The situation has worsened, with Russian forces stretching their lines over 30km, leaving them vulnerable to a pincer movement. Ukrainian forces are now attempting to encircle and destroy the Russian assault group, while also reclaiming lost ground. Despite Russian gains, their position remains precarious, and they are at risk of encirclement and destruction unless they intensify their assaults on their flanks.
