The Russian troops advanced to Suja with the help of North Korea

With the assistance of North Korean forces, the Russian army has moved towards the city of Suja. This is reported by 'Glavkom' citing a report from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

The Russian troops are moving south of Suja. They are also receiving support from North Korean forces and using FPV drones with fiber-optic cables. The Russian army is also penetrating the industrial zone in the northeastern part of Suja.

According to ISW, a Ukrainian soldier reported that the troops of two battalions of North Korean forces operating near Suja exhibit higher training and 'act more coordinated'.

The Russian forces are taking positions in the city along the eastern bank of the Suja River. According to the Institute for the Study of War, the Russians have advanced across the international border from Kursk region into Sumy region.

They have settled south of Suja. Geolocation images obtained on March 8 show that the Russian army has captured Novenke (northeast of Sumy and directly across the international border in the Sumy region).

It was previously reported that if Russia regains all the territory of the Kursk region, it may use this as an opportunity to redeploy troops to eastern Ukraine. Currently, the Ukrainian army has lost about half of the territory of the Kursk region that it previously controlled.

Airborne assault troops destroyed Russian special forces attempting to break through to Suja via the gas pipeline branch in Kursk region.

According to CNN, the situation in the Kursk region is rapidly deteriorating for Ukraine, and soon Kyiv may lose its main advantage in upcoming peace negotiations.
