Ukrainian troops are close to encircling Russian units around the Seym River in the Kursk region.
Up to 3,000 Russian soldiers may be captured, writes Bild. The newspaper reminds us that since August 16, the Ukrainian troops in the north of the Glushkovsky region started to blow up the bridges crossing the Seim. It can isolate the Russian Armed Forces group because Ukraine's territory surrounds the area from the west and south.
"Russia, in response, organizes the pontoon crossings and the air bridge and protects the remaining passage in the east. Yesterday, the armed forces of Ukraine occupied the villages of Snagost and Apanasovka. They have 5 km left before the Seim River and the blockade," the newspaper writes.
