According to its own statements, the Russian army has recaptured more than 1100 square kilometers in the Kursk area. Moreover, 430 Ukrainian soldiers were captured. These would have “acted actively,” said it.
“The Ukrainian soldiers saw that it makes no sense to fight further,” said the Russian staff chef Waleri Gerassimow. The Ukrainian units in the area were surrounded, their plans failed. The tip Ukrainian army even indicated a partial withdrawal. The army had moved to the Russian area of Kursk in August 2024 and had conquered at least 1300 square kilometers. In the meantime, the Russian troops have recaptured more than 110 square kilometers, it said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Kursk for the first time since the Ukrainian rise. “In fact, we must finally beat the enemy that has anchored in the Oblast in Kursk and still undertakes defense actions in the shortest possible time,” he said. The “systematic destruction” is already “in progress,” said Gerassimow.
Treatment “such as terrorists”
The captured soldiers must be “(…) how terrorists are treated”. In recent days, the Russian army has started a large -scale parachute -offensive from different directions to cut off the supply lines of Ukraine and possible retreat routes.
“In the most difficult situation, it was and is my priority to save the life of Ukrainian soldiers,” said Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr Syrkyj on Wednesday. “For this purpose, the units of the defense, if necessary, go into cheaper positions.” This formulation is usually used to announce a withdrawal.
At the same time, the army chef emphasized that the troops would continue their use “as long as it is appropriate and necessary”. For example, the fights on the edge of Sudscha would stop in Kursk. The Russian army stated that he had recaptured five villages in the area. Sufscha is the most important position of the Ukrainian army in the region.
