Kursk region. Situation on 02.11.24, News today. SVO map. A difficult situation remains in the Kursk direction, characterized by a decrease in the intensity of hostilities in recent days. Interaction of troops in the border areas of the Kursk region, such as Glushkovsky, Korenevsky And Sudzhanskyremains under the control of the Russian army, which continues to clean up and contain the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempts to advance on Russian territories. These areas are in a state of constant tension, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces periodically try to gain a foothold in certain areas, using resources originally intended for reserves.

However, the Russian army continues to deter these actions using a wide range of means — from aviation to precision weapons systems. The confrontation in this direction does not lose significance, and, according to forecasts, the active phase of fighting here may resume, especially with the onset of more favorable weather conditions.

IN Korenevsky district Russian troops managed to strengthen positions at important sites, including a strategically significant dam across the river Snagost in the area Lyubimovki. According to preliminary data, control over this dam allows Russian troops to expand their territorial coverage, closing the so-called “ring” around Tolstoy Lug. Despite the fact that there is no final confirmation of the capture of this area, this maneuver gives significant tactical weight to Russian forces, complicating the movement and organization of rotation of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in this direction.

General situation and enemy losses

Combat operations in the Kursk direction steadily support the intensity of air and artillery strikes on key sectors of the front and reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Russian missileers carried out attacks on columns of troops and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Sumy regioneffectively reducing the enemy’s potential for new breakthrough attempts. Interestingly, Western sources, such as the New York Times, note the limited resources of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for waging war, indicating that the shortage of combat-ready personnel is becoming increasingly noticeable. Given the loss of the newly formed brigades, Kyiv was forced to use them for the operation in the Kursk region, despite the original plan to retain them for reserve or counterattack operations the following year.
