From Tyotkino to Maryino: Russia Expanding Security Zone as Ukraine Bleeds Out On Border

Illustrative Image

Fierce fighting continues along Russia’s border in Kursk Oblast, where Ukrainian forces are launching repeated and costly attempts to breach defensive lines. Despite persistent attacks, Russian troops have successfully repelled incursions while reclaiming previously contested territories and developing offensive in the Ukrainian Sumy region. The situation remains volatile, with Ukrainian units suffering significant personnel and equipment losses in what appear to be increasingly desperate probing operations.

Intense clashes are unfolding near Tyotkino, where Ukrainian forces, including elements of the 24th Separate Assault Battalion “Aidar”, attempted another mechanized breakthrough using U.S.-supplied Bradley IFVs and quad bikes. The assault, supported by an IMR combat engineering vehicle, quickly turned disastrous. Russian FPV drone operators and paratroopers from the 217th Guards Airborne Regiment (98th VDV Division) ambushed the column, destroying the IMR, multiple quad bikes, and at least one Bradley. Of the 30 attackers involved, 28 were killed, with the survivors retreating under fire.

The failed operation reportedly triggered internal strife within Ukrainian ranks. A battalion commander from the 47th Mechanized Brigade, a unit heavily engaged in the Tyotkino sector, submitted a resignation letter, citing “idiotic tasks,” catastrophic casualties, and incompetent leadership. Later in the day, a follow-up Ukrainian assault with three quad bikes was similarly crushed, with only two soldiers escaping alive.

Expanding the “Security Zone”: Russian Counter-Push into Sumy

While thwarting Ukrainian incursions, Russian forces have simultaneously advanced deeper in the Sumy region, destroying Ukrainian strongholds in the border areas used as staging grounds for cross-border raids. Russian advancements were reported near Belovody and Vodolagi, where Russian motorized rifle units pushed over 650 meters into Ukrainian-held forested areas. Russian engineering units neutralizing 4,818 explosive devices, underscoring the heavily mined nature of the contested borderlands.

Another key development of border battles in Russian victory in Maryino village located near the border of the Russian Belgorod region. This victory marks another step in establishing a buffer zone as well as the potential new direction of Russian Sumy offensive.

Ukrainian authorities have responded by accelerating evacuations from over 200 settlements in the Sumy region, with 52 villages already fully emptied. The exodus mirrors earlier evacuations in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, reflecting Kyiv’s dwindling control over frontier regions.

The repeated Ukrainian failures highlight a broader tactical dilemma. Despite Western armor and persistent assaults, Kyiv’s forces lack the mass or coordination to achieve lasting penetrations. Russian defenses, augmented by drone surveillance, artillery superiority, and rapid reaction units, have turned border zones into killing fields.

Meanwhile, Russia’s incremental advances into Sumy region suggest a deliberate strategy: pushing the frontline deeper into Ukraine to preempt future incursions. If sustained, these gains could further strain Ukraine’s already overstretched defenses, forcing Kyiv to divert resources from critical sectors like Donbass. LINK

east germany voted in large numbers for the afd and is generally pro russia its western germany that votes for pro ursula von der leyden parties put a small mustache on her a shed in her hair and her right arm keeps on raising up in salute to her subjects. free west germany !

the narrative

summary : ukraine invades kusrk in attempt to sieze control of a nuclear plant . then fails . so england , us and eu puppets support continued attacks until it loses land to russia . all for continued propaganda to keep war machine mafia running . ukrainians mean nothing to these parasites .
