Russian troops have made significant advances from the western flank of Ukrainian positions, and reports indicate a threat of Ukrainian troops being encircled.
The Ukraine could be cut in two if the Russian troops move up perhaps also the national highways linking Sumy with Dnipro, Pokrovsk region.
That would mean the de faco encirclement of Kharkiv.
"Fears of potential encirclement of Ukrainian troops in Kursk come only days after US officials claimed they could hold the ground for months.
As with all war, the losing side tends to implode all at once after a long period of seemingly static and secure defenses," notes Zerohedge

In a separate development, North Korea has destroyed transport links joining it to Sourth Korea s network preventing the rapid mobilization of South Korean troops to enter its territory.
From media
South Korea’s military says it has fired warning shots near its heavily fortified border with the North after Pyongyang blew up sections of the deeply symbolic roads linking the two countries.
At around midday, some parts of the road north of the military demarcation line (MDL) dividing the countries were blown up, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a message sent to media on Tuesday.
In response, Seoul’s military “conducted counter-fire” in areas south of the MDL, it added later.
Since leader Kim Jong-un declared the South his country’s “principal enemy” earlier this year, the North has laid fresh mines, erected anti-tank barriers, and deployed missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads along the already heavily fortified border.
