Preface:
Trump suddenly used a move to disrupt the world order, catching the world off guard and making this unstable world even more uncertain. While Trump was challenging the world to demand money, he also threatened to attack Iran. At this sensitive moment, Russia suddenly declared that if the U.S. attacks Iran, Russia has no basis for sending troops. Clearly, Russia's main focus is on resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict and does not wish to be overly involved in the Middle East. The current situation is actually favorable for Russia, at least the U.S. has neither the energy nor the intention to meddle in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

After failing to persuade the surrender, Russia launched its final all-out offensive, with artillery, helicopters, bombers, drones, and various types of bombs raining down fury. Russia had attempted to persuade the Ukrainian troops in the last few villages of Kursk to surrender, but the attempt failed. At this time, the U.S. had no energy to pay attention to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which provided the Russian army with the best opportunity for a general offensive. The Russian army had already advanced into Sumy, completely cutting off the Ukrainian army's supply lines and sealing off possible routes for reinforcements.
After making all preparations, the Russian army launched the general offensive. On April 8, 2025, Russia announced the recapture of the last few important villages in the Kursk region controlled by Ukraine, including Gueyovo village. This means that the Battle of Kursk has come to an end. After losing 70,000 elite troops, the Ukrainian army has completely lost control over this piece of Russian territory. This offensive by the Russian army was a destructive attack without sparing ammunition, leaving no chance of survival for the Ukrainian army.
Russian artillery, drones, helicopters, Su-34 fighter-bombers, Hurricane rocket launchers, and almost all available firepower were deployed. According to preliminary data disclosed by the Russian side, the daily fire density reached 1.2 tons per square kilometer. Such fire density indicates that Russia's basic attitude is to completely destroy the Ukrainian army, leaving no hope of survival. Of course, the Russian army destroyed not only the Ukrainian army but also a large number of NATO mercenaries trapped there and some "big fish" from NATO.

The Ukrainian positions fell into a sea of flames; reinforcement troops abandoned rescue efforts; signals from the trapped Ukrainian troops and NATO mercenaries were cut off. Under the intense bombardment by the Russian army, the positions of the last few villages in Kursk held by Ukraine were engulfed in flames. All ground facilities on the Ukrainian positions were almost flattened, and corresponding equipment and supplies disappeared. Undoubtedly, this scene is extremely惨烈, indicating that the Russian army has truly gone all out this time.
The 47th and 61st brigades of the Ukrainian army sent as reinforcements saw the dire situation and immediately canceled their relief operations, turning to other directions. The most pitiful ones are the trapped Ukrainian troops and NATO mercenaries. It is reported that these Ukrainian troops and NATO mercenaries refused to surrender, and the Russian army no longer had any illusions or expectations about them. Before the bombing, the Russian army intercepted open communications from the Gornal Ukrainian commander and foreign mercenaries, but then all relevant signals disappeared, indicating that they were completely missing after the bombing.

One round of Russian firepower output caused cannon fragments to fly everywhere at the Ukrainian artillery base in Sumy. In addition to the bombardment in Kursk, the Russian army also intensified its attacks on the Ukrainian homeland in Sumy. Using Iskander tactical missiles and drone swarms, the Russian army launched a surprise attack on the artillery base of the Ukrainian army in the village of Brazhivka, Sumy region. The scene showed cannons scattered haphazardly, with corresponding fragments flying everywhere. Inside the base, 36 M109 self-propelled howitzers were destroyed, and over 200 Ukrainian soldiers were killed. For Ukraine, the current situation is indeed very difficult. The U.S. cannot be relied upon, and Europe is also unwilling to continue paying attention to Ukraine.
