11 Ukrainian brigades withdraw from Sumy front line, Russia achieves big goal

Russian army won a great victory at Yunakivka, 11 Ukrainian brigades retreated without orders; Sumy is in danger.

On July 4, Russia announced two important pieces of information. One was that the Deputy Commander of the Russian Navy, the main commander of the Russian Marine Corps (RFAF) in the Kursk-Sumy direction, had died in a Ukrainian missile attack. Several senior staff officers were also killed with him.

According to the analysis, after the Kursk operation, the main combat mission of the RFAF was transferred to the Sumy Oblast of Ukraine and a “security buffer zone” was created in the Sumy border area, bordering the Kursk Oblast of Russia. As the RFAF offensive became more and more fierce, the Russian frontline command gradually advanced, but was suddenly attacked by Ukrainian HIMARS missiles.

Second, on the day the Russian Navy Deputy Commander died, the RFAF also won a great victory at Yunakivka in Sumy Oblast. The Russian Defense Ministry 's battlefield bulletin on that day said that the RFAF on the Sumy front had captured two important strongholds, Yunakivka and Yablunivka.

In particular, Yunakivka was considered a fortress of decisive importance for the survival of the Sumy front. At the end of the Kursk campaign, a large number of Ukrainian remnants, withdrawn from Kursk, were deployed around the village of Yunakivka and reorganized into 11 brigades (none of which were fully staffed) according to the requirements of defense and counterattack.

Yunakivka fortress is less than 20 km from the capital of Sumy region (Sumy city). It is the intersection of two important roads and the only route for the Ukrainian defense forces west of Oreshnya to retreat. It is also the gateway from Kursk to Sumy city.

Once the Yunakivka fortress was lost, the city of Sumy would be in danger, and the Ukrainian mobile forces west of Oreshnya, whose mission was to harass and wait for an opportunity to counterattack Kursk, would be surrounded by Russian troops. In fact, the remnants of the AFU retreated from Kursk, with low morale. To ensure the safety of Sumy, General Syrsky also sent many combat units from Donetsk as reinforcements.

However, Ukraine’s fears came true. As the Russian frontline reached the eastern outskirts of Yunakivka, the AFU defenders put up little resistance and retreated on their own, fearing encirclement and destruction. In the end, 11 brigades reorganized in the Yunakivka area “evacuated at will” without the permission of their superiors.

This scenario has been repeated many times on the Donbass front (like Avdiivka). The biggest problem now is that the AFU has not had time to rebuild its fortified defenses between the west of the Yunakivka fortress and the Sumy metropolitan area, and the RFAF can quickly take advantage of the opportunity and advance to the Sumy metropolitan area along the highway.

The AFU General Staff and NATO military advisers were pessimistic about the situation in Sumy, since almost all of Ukraine's best forces had suffered heavy losses in the Kursk operation. And General Syrsky had no reserves to reinforce Sumy; he even had to send the AFU's only training battalion to this front.

On the contrary, the RFAF is advancing into Sumy at a “slow but steady” pace. In addition, according to the US news agency CNN, if North Korean reinforcements take over the task of defending the Kursk and Belgorod borders, they will “free” at least 30,000 Russian troops on border defense duty to participate in the task of building a security buffer zone in Sumy.

According to analysts, the AFU's air defense capabilities in Sumy are currently very weak, as evidenced by the Russian Su-34 fighter jet approaching the area and dropping the FAB-3000 super bomb on an AFU troop concentration location in the border area.

In a video published online, an AFU troop assembly area in the Kondratovka area of ​​Sumy province was attacked with a barrage of heavy guided glide bombs by the Russian Air Force.

The released video shows that the Russian Air Force first used guided glide bombs UMPK FAB-500 M62 to attack the AFU troop assembly point in the Kondratovka area. And in the next video, the AFU assembly area here is covered by the “super bomb” FAB-3000.

The RFAF is now determined to create a security buffer zone in the Sumy region. The day before, the Russians recaptured the villages of Varachino and Bessalovka. Despite fierce resistance from the AFU and repeated attempts to penetrate into the Kursk region, the Russians are still advancing, pressuring the AFU to the heart of the region.

At the same time, according to military experts, Russian units currently do not have a direct mission to capture Sumy, but they only need to attack the city with firepower, which is enough to make the "existence" of both the Ukrainian army and civilian authorities in the city of Sumy "impossible".
