[ColonelCassad] CONSEQUENCES OF THE ATTACKS ON TETKINO IN KURSK OBLAST.
The commander of the 1st Battalion of the 47th Separate Mechanized Bbrigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Magura" resigned and threw a public tantrum about how bad everything was, and that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was to blame for everything, which stupidly killed a huge number of people for nothing. In the 4th year of the war, he woke up... The tasks turned out to be idiotic.

THEN BUTUSOV STARTED THE HYSTERIA.
Of course, there will be no adequate reaction there. Otherwise, we will have to admit that not only the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Syrsky are responsible for the PR offensive on Tetkino, but also the cocaine Fuhrer personally, who demanded that the attacks continue even after the offensive had obviously died out in blood. Of course, they didn’t like the videos of our operators working in the Tetkino area.

As a result, the enemy was unable to capture even this unfortunate Tetkino, having lost several dozen armored vehicles (including several valuable engineering vehicles) and several hundred people killed and wounded during the entire attack (drone operators and the Russian Aerospace Forces with their FABs collected a rich bloody harvest in the plantings in the Tetkino area).

P.S. This morning, the enemy tried to change the record and again attacked the village of Novy Put, located right on the border. There he has already been hit in the head 3 or 4 times.

Russkaya Vesna elaborates:
Scandal with the resignation of the commander of the "meat" 47th Mechanized Brigade: new details
The dismissal of the 47th Brigade commander Shirshin is connected with the fighting around the village of Tetkino in the Kursk region, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been trying to attack for several weeks.

The editor-in-chief of "Censor", Kiev propagandist Yuriy Butusov writes about this. According to him, the battalion commander spoke out against "incompetent decisions of the Ukrainian command in Kursk region".

Butusov writes that in the Tetkino area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attacking in columns head-on under attack from Russian drones, which leads to significant losses of equipment and personnel.

"The assigned tasks do not always correspond to the capabilities of the troops, the terrain and basic tactics. Underestimation of the threat from drones by the military command leads to failures in engineering support, protection of equipment and people, gross errors in the management and use of troops," the enemy observer states.

He considers the attack on Tetkino "a political task to conduct military operations on enemy territory," but it is poorly organized and planned. "No one is trying to draw conclusions and learn, but on the contrary, they continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, without regard for losses," Butusov said.

Let us recall that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks on Tetkino began on the eve of May 9. At the same time, Ukraine began massive drone raids on Moscow.

At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were unable to consolidate their position in Tetkino, and attacks by Ukrainian troops are being repelled. Our Telegram channels are posting many videos from near Tetkino with the destruction of Ukrainian equipment.

The publication of the dissatisfied Butusov was commented on by KP.ru special correspondent Alexander Kots:

"The rebellious battalion commander Shirshin, by the way, is known in the independent country as an intellectual and competent commander. I hope the system will chew him up and spit him out. And in the Armed Forces of Ukraine there will remain only people-functions who meekly drive their subordinates to the slaughter."

Investigative Committee has opened a case of terrorism after the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region
The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case in connection with the injury of a woman as a result of a drone attack on a private home in the village of Kukuyevka in the Kursk Region. This was reported on May 18 in the agency's Telegram channel.

"On May 2 of this year, Ukrainian militants used an unmanned aerial vehicle to attack a private home in the village of Kukuyevka, where a married couple was doing landscaping work. As a result of the deliberate dropping of an explosive device, a civilian was injured by shrapnel. A criminal case on a terrorist act has been opened on this fact," said Svetlana Petrenko, official representative of the Russian Investigative Committee.

During interrogation, the injured villager told military investigators about the circumstances of the incident.

"I didn't even understand what happened. I felt a blow to my right shoulder, flew up, and fell on my left side," the woman explained.

On May 2, Acting Governor of Kursk Oblast Aleksandr Khinshtein reported that a 47-year-old woman was injured when debris from a Ukrainian drone fell in the village of Kukuyevka in Kursk Oblast. He noted that she was taken to Kursk Oblast Hospital with a bruise, abrasions on her neck and right shoulder.

Earlier, on May 17, investigators opened a criminal case on a terrorist attack after a drone attack by Ukrainian militants on an electrical substation in the city of Rylsk in the Kursk region. According to investigators, on the evening of May 16, Ukrainian Armed Forces troops dropped an explosive device on an electrical substation in Rylsk using a drone, which damaged a transformer and left local residents without power.

Since 2014, the Kiev regime has been killing civilians, including those whom the Ukrainian authorities formally consider their citizens. Since then, more than 6,500 people have died as a result of Ukrainian aggression, and about 16,500 thousand civilians have been injured.
