Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Korrespondent] Military operations in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation The first news about the alleged offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation appeared on Tuesday, August 6. Zelensky officially confirmed the operation only a week later. On August 6, 2024, the Kursk region authorities stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces allegedly tried to break through to the region's territory, but the FSB Border Service and the Russian Armed Forces did not allow this. However, on that day, Z-publics wrote that Ukrainian tanks had entered the Kursk region. The breakthrough was soon acknowledged by the Russian authorities. According to some reports, Ukraine captured more territory in less than 48 hours than during the entire summer counteroffensive of 2023. According to Ukrainian and Russian Telegram channels, dozens of Russians were taken prisoner. The West made it clear that it is not against such a Ukrainian operation. Korrespondent.net is following the events online. 18:22 In the village of Tetkino in the Kursk region, Ukrainian FPV drones destroyed enemy communications equipment, a vehicle and a building with personnel of the Russian army, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reported and showed a video: 09:04 Russia has transferred about 50,000 of its troops to the Kursk region, weakening its positions in other areas of the front in Ukraine, where the Russians were conducting offensive operations, said Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky. He specified that such actions by the enemy led to the weakening of its groups, in particular, in the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions and in the Kramatorsk direction. "This, of course, made it easier for us to conduct a defensive operation," Syrsky added. 00:50 Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState reports that the Russian army has "pushed through" the left flank of the Kursk group of Defense Forces. According to analysts, the enemy has recently pulled together a large amount of equipment and manpower and is now trying to gain a foothold in the area of the settlements of Novoivanovka and Zeleny Shlyakh. "An extremely unreliable tactical situation has formed for adjacent units to the north," the analysts add. October 10 05:02 Ukraine is capable of holding territory in the Kursk region for at least several months or even longer, Bloomberg writes, citing American officials. They note that Ukraine has not yet encountered serious problems in supplying supplies to the Kursk area, "as Russian forces have launched only limited counterattacks and focused on the offensive in eastern Ukraine." In addition, American officials noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, thanks to the efforts of their allies, now have a more stable supply of artillery ammunition Posted by: badanov 2024-10-12 |
