The Russian army's operation to recapture Kursk is coming to an end, with fighting in the last houses and wooded areas near the border.
There is talk of a possible future operation towards Sumy that could be exploited by Russia following the weakening of the Ukrainian army on this front. However, the Russian command's priority is still on the eastern front, that is, the seizure of the Donbas, where the bulk of the fighting is taking place.

What we can expect from Sumy is the creation of a buffer zone on the border of a dimension not so different from the area north of Kharkov with the aim of avoiding a new operation in Kursk and further damaging the Ukrainian command in its management and sending of resources to other fronts. This dynamic has already begun in February and has allowed Russian forces to seize some localities. It is possible that the advance will continue a few kilometres further inland, reaching two important points or zones: the first is the Psel River, a natural barrier that would allow them to secure attacks from the south and force Ukraine to send reinforcements that could be used to penetrate Belgorod. The second is the town of Yunakivka, the main urban area in the region, the capture of which would provide a logistical node from which to expand control southwards as a future possibility. However, it is possible that this locality could become a new Vovchansk, ending in a long positional battle.
