Ukraine's Control of Sudzha in Russia Shifts, Map Reveals

KYIV (Reuters) - A widely-used online Ukrainian battlefield map appeared to show Ukrainian forces no longer in control of the town of Sudzha in Russia's Kursk region on Wednesday.

   The Deep State map, which is not an official government document and says it is updated by a team of Ukrainian users with publicly available data, appeared to show Kyiv's forces had left the town in an area where Moscow has mounted an offensive and recaptured territory in recent days.

   A Ukrainian military spokesperson for the Kursk front declined to comment.

   Sudzha is the largest settlement in a piece of Russian territory which Ukraine seized last August to act as a bargaining chip in any future negotiations regarding Moscow's invasion of its neighbour.
