Russian war correspondents have admitted that the Russian army suffered a crushing defeat near Kondratovka in the Sumy region. The number of killed and wounded is in the dozens, and the village itself, according to several pro-Kremlin sources, has finally come under the control of Ukrainian forces. The Russians were unable to break through to the encircled units, the equipment burned out, the artillery was suppressed by HIMARS strikes, and the remaining personnel fled under the onslaught of FPV drones and assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Panic in Russian Telegrams Channels

Against this backdrop, Russian military Z-bloggers have fallen into their usual hysteria: some accuse the generals of betrayal, others threaten reprisals “under the laws of wartime.” Telegram channels write that the soldiers of the 30th motorized rifle brigade of the Russian army were literally left to die without backup.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are moving further: Alekseyevka is already being stormed

The situation is complicated by the fact that after capturing Kondratovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces began actively storming Alekseyevka, and the Russian side, by their own admission, simply has no reserves. The DeepState map shows that Ukrainian forces have already closely approached a number of populated areas, tightening the ring.

The buffer zone that Putin boasted about in the spring has turned out to be a smoking hole. Instead of a “cordon sanitaire,” there are holes in the defense and dozens of corpses. Russian sources are forced to admit failure: the front in this area is crumbling, there is no coherence, and morale is at rock bottom.
