Facts about the Russian town of Sudza claimed by Ukraine as part of its incursion

Associated Press  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that the country’s military has taken full control of the town of Sudzha in Russia’s Kursk region near the border with Ukraine. Natural gas flowing from West Siberian gas fields to Europe via Ukraine passes through a metering station near the border in the Sudzha district. Gas has continued flowing on to Europe despite the 2 ½-year war, allowing Russia’s Gazprom natural gas giant to earn money from the gas and letting Ukraine collect transit fees. Ukrainian forces rolled into Sudzha hours after launching the incursion on Aug. 6, facing little opposition from lightly-armed border guards and small infantry units alongside the border.
