Offensive Cancelled! Massive Build-up Struck with HIMARS! | RFU News
Today there are a lot of important updates from the Sumy direction.
Here, along the Sumy border, Ukrainian forces lured Russian units into counterattacks and then traced their movements back to hidden staging grounds across Kursk. With their positions exposed, HIMARS batteries struck hard, delivering devastating blows to troop concentrations, command posts, and infrastructure critical to Russia’s planned offensive.
Over 50 thousand Russian troops have been deployed to the Kursk region along the northern border with Sumy, signaling clear preparations for a full-scale offensive. Ukrainian commanders in the area have confirmed the buildup, noting that these forces are being readied for large-scale operations aimed at breaching the Sumy region’s defenses. The massive Russian forces concentration here underscores their conviction that they can still achieve victory through overwhelming manpower and renewed offensives.
To neutralize this threat as much as possible, Ukrainians needed to eliminate these large forces concentrations before they had the opportunity to move to the frontline. To accomplish this, Ukrainians launched attacks on the eastern flank of Tyotkino to force a Russian redeployment and draw forces away from the town itself. By threatening a potential outflank, they put pressure on Russian positions while conducting swift rotations to keep fresh troops and equipment on the front line. This way, Ukrainians also improve their defensive position against Russian pressure across this section of the front, while their main offensive units threatens a two-pronged assault on Tyotkino.
Combat footage from the area shows Ukrainian armored vehicles rotating efficiently, one withdrawing to resupply while another engages Russian positions, ensuring constant pressure on enemy lines. This tactic prevents Russian forces from massing at strongpoints and forces them into improvised defensive positions in open terrain. As Russian troops rushed forward to plug gaps and prevent a Ukrainian breakthrough, many were eliminated by FPV drone strikes. Even attempts to move in small groups of two or three failed to evade detection, as drones continued targeting them with precision. However most importantly, Ukrainians traced these movements, revealing the locations of Russian troop concentrations and command posts, opening the door for devastating Ukrainian strikes.
This critical intelligence allowed HIMARS crews to lock in their targets and strike several Russian military bases simultaneously. Footage confirms that Ukraine hit two Russian deployment points in Lgov and Rylsk, as local residents report large numbers of casualties among Russian soldiers being taken away in the aftermath. Russians were also spotted gathering their forces in an abandoned hospital building, as the strike completely devastated the building and any Russian soldiers inside. Ukrainians also targeted Russian command posts, to disrupt the Russian offensive preparations and inflict severe losses. Moreover, as reported previously, one of the victims of the recent strikes was the deputy commander of 155th Marine Brigade who was reportedly eliminated by a precision strike on his command post in Rylsk.
These strikes show that Ukrainians are already draining Russian reserves even before they can launch their offensive. They are disrupting Russian preparations and inflicting losses, further limiting what they can achieve. If Russians redeploy their forces further to the rear to try and stay undetected, these forces will not be able to respond quickly to sudden breakthroughs or Ukrainian assaults. This gives Russians a painstakingly tough dilemma, either Russians will have to station their forces much further to the rear, or they must take the blows dealt to them by Ukrainian strike teams, betting on their numbers being enough to still make a breakthrough despite the heavy damage.
Overall, the Ukrainians managed to lure the Russians to expose their forces in the open to discover their critical infrastructure, resulting in a series of devastating precision strikes. Intensification of Ukrainian assaults in Tyotkino incursion will inevitably leave Russians with no other option but to deploy more forces to this area, exposing further forces concentration points to Ukrainian observation and strike teams. As Ukrainians continue to scout behind Russian lines, additional strikes seem inevitable. Furthermore, as Russians suffer logistical strains by deploying and concentrating so such many troops, any movement will be nearly impossible to hide.

I realize this is an extremely minor thing to complain about, but why does everyone use the construction "in the Sumy direction" rather than "near Sumy"?
I'm mostly curious, but it's also simpler to just say "near X."
Thanks.

That recently destroyed Iskander was probably so close to the front in order to hunt HIMARS. But HIMARS seem to have won the duel 🇺🇦

Hope everyone is staying out of the way of the Russian retaliation. Civilians are never a legitimate military target.

Could you please carefully check your sources and stop claiming rocket strikes as being HIMARS all the time? Most of the strikes made on Russian positions with US rocket artillery systems are, in fact GMLRS strikes. Please check your data carefully, because you may lose credibility if you're not careful about your reporting.

Very intelligent use of combined arms resources. But I have come to expect such cleverness from Ukrainian commanders.

NATO, Putin and Zelensky, they all understood each other to make war and to destroy their own countries. To rebuild a country is a business worth trillions of dollars. NATO plays "the good guys", while Putin plays "the bad guy" and ignorant people go to war "to defend" their countries. 😂

interesting update
thank you
Slava Ukraine
It's a shame that this war is still going on. If the Collective West (USA, NATO, etc.) had given Ukraine what they needed at the very beginning then this would have been over in less than a year.
To be clear, I blame both Biden and Trump for this. Biden was afraid of "escalating" which is completely ridiculous since Russia has been escalating from Day 1 and Trump is a Russian agent (Krasnov) who wishes nothing more that a win for his boss buddy Putin.
I am so impressed that Ukraine is still standing and delivering humiliating blows to the Soviet Union, errrrrrrrrr, Russian Empire, errrrrrrrrrrrrr, whatever that sh!thole country is calling itself right now. Orcistan?
❤🎉🎉🎉

Too Expensive to Bury? Ukraine Dodges Reclaiming 6,000 Dead. Russia has called out Ukraine for unexpectedly postponing both the prisoner exchange and the retrieval of fallen Ukrainian soldiers — indefinitely. According to Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky, Moscow is urging Kiev to reclaim the bodies of over 6,000 Ukrainian troops, so their families can bury them with dignity.
Under Ukrainian law, families of soldiers killed in combat are entitled to 15 million UAH (around $365,000 USD) in compensation. With 6,000 dead, that amounts to roughly $2.2 billion USD in payouts.
In a country already dependent on Western aid to function, Kiev may be quietly dodging both responsibility and the bill. Meanwhile, the bodies wait — and families are left in the dark.
Hamas must have trained Russia on the improper use of hospitals.

Also laut dieser täglichen Berichterstattung hätte ja Ukraine den Krieg schon vor 2 Jahren gewonnen. Jeden Tag werden Fabriken zerstört 5000 Soldaten getötet, der Panzer und der Jet abgeschossen etc. Wenn es so wäre hätte der Krieg einen ganz anderen Verlauf als das was an der Front und innerhalb der Ukraine passiert. Nur mal bisschen den Kopf anstrengen und recherchieren
