Kursk front of the Russo-Ukrainian war was opened when Ukraine launched an offensive into Russia's Kursk oblast on 8 August 2024.[6][7] After Russia retook Sudzha on 13 March 2025[8] and the bulk of Ukrainian forces retreated from Kursk Oblast,[9] clashes continued in the region[10] as some units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces remained on Russian territory.[11]
