Central Front Merger Threat to Orel in Soviet Advances
The Russian offensive in Ukraine recaptured Sumy Akatyrka and Lebedin and pushed Northern Armies toward Orel imperiling German lines west to the Dneiper. Analysts say flanking Orel could isolate the fortress and roll up the central front toward Tula and Moscow. Germans reinforce Bryansk as battles widen from Pavlograd to Kursk with gains near Poltava. The Red Army penetrations mark its deepest drive since winter.
