On March 9, pro - Russian war bloggers reported that in a large - scale offensive to drive Ukrainian soldiers out of the Kursk region, Russian special forces launched a surprise attack on Ukrainian troops using a natural gas pipeline, and then the Russian army launched a fierce attack on Suja on the 9th.
It was reported that in August last year, thousands of Ukrainian soldiers occupied about 1,300 square kilometers of land in Russia's Kursk region. Kiev claimed that this move was to gain leverage in future negotiations and force Russia to redeploy troops from eastern Ukraine.
Pro - Russian military bloggers said that Russian special forces advanced about 15 kilometers inside a main natural gas pipeline and then launched a surprise attack on Ukrainian troops from the rear near Suja.
Suja is the location of a major natural gas transfer and metering station on a natural gas pipeline. This pipeline used to transport Russian natural gas to Ukraine's gas transmission system and then to Europe.
