Russian Forces Face Significant Defeat as Kiev Troops Advance in the Kursk Region
The legendary Battle of Cannae, which took place in 216 BC during the Second Punic War, is still regarded as a paradigm of an encircling battle and a devastating defeat. The phrase “to suffer a Cannae” is often used to describe a crushing defeat.
However, the front lines have shifted in recent days. Intense fighting is currently underway around the Tschassow Jar area and Russian forces have achieved a notable success in the north of the Donetsk People’s Republic after two years of fierce and costly battles.
Meanwhile, significant regrouping of forces is underway on both sides at multiple front segments, according to reports, which are expected to culminate in large and decisive battles in the near future.
