Today, there are a lot of developments in the Kursk region.
As Ukrainians had penetrated deep into Russian territory, Russians transferred a large number of reserves to the area to respond to the quickly deteriorating situation. In response, Ukrainians used a genius tactic to delay these Russian reinforcements. Ukrainians, most of whom can speak Russian without accent, called up Russian civilians in the area, ordering them to evacuate by posing as Russian officials. This caused large traffic jams on the main roads Russians were using to transfer military equipment over, severely delaying the Russian response time to the quickly developing situation.
Ukrainians also sent smaller reconnaissance groups far behind Russian lines to conduct ambushes, sabotage, and report on larger Russian troop movements before directing strikes to destroy the Russian convoys. The Russian media even incidentally helped Ukrainians with this task, broadcasting live on troop movements in a media stunt to improve morale and hold up the façade that everything was under control. Russian military bloggers protested on masse, saying that this was one of the biggest problems in the Russian military, as the commanders continue to live in an illusion while ignoring reality, leading to disastrous consequences.
Unfortunately for Russians, these military bloggers were right, as Ukrainians managed to identify major Russian logistic routes and forces concentrations meant to stop the Ukrainian advance. Ukrainians later released footage of them hitting one of these convoys with a series of high-precision HIMARS strikes. Russian civilians who were evacuating the area recorded the aftermath of the strike, showing dozens of burnt-out or otherwise destroyed logistic trucks filled with hundreds of Russian troops. The original uncensored footage of the Ukrainian HIMARS strikes and their aftermath can be found on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.
Besides conscripts and emergency reserves, Russians also deployed Chechen Akhmat special forces to the area to help stabilize the region and dissuade Russian soldiers from surrendering. As it turns out, after Ukrainians defeated the initial Russian defenders, they went on to strike hard against the Chechen barrier troops. Russian soldiers then posted on Telegram how these Chechen units fled the battlefield as soon as they came under Ukrainian fire or immediately surrendered. These Russian whistleblower soldiers were, however, arrested by the Chechen units and forced to publicly state they were lying and praise the Akhmat soldiers. Ukrainians, in turn, posted videos of having captured large numbers of these Chechen fighters, waiting for Ukrainian transport vehicles to take them into Ukraine.
As Ukrainian sabotage groups effectively delayed many Russian reinforcements, the Russian lines remained thin, allowing Ukrainians to continue to push much deeper into the region. Russian forces shared geolocated footage of a failed Iskander ballistic missile strike on a Ukrainian armored assault group. However, the footage shows the missile had completely missed its target, leaving the only visible Ukrainian armored vehicle operational.
Russian sources state the Ukrainian assault group was operating in the area with over ten armored vehicles and had launched an attack on the settlement of Kachuk, indicating that Ukrainians had severely expanded their area of control northward. Next, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that they were targeting Ukrainians with artillery, drones, and aviation above the Krepna River.
Russian sources also state that Ukrainians had taken control of the settlement of Olgovka. As Ukrainians had active assault groups operating above the river, Ukrainians have likely taken control over both crossing points over the river. Russians additionally state Ukrainians advanced in the forests northwest of Liubimovka.
Ukrainians also launched a series of attacks toward the east, advancing toward Cherkasskoe Porechnoe and capturing the settlement. Russians conducted a series of Lancet drone strikes against Ukrainian armored vehicles here, destroying some but leaving the infantry intact to take up positions in the houses.
As you remember from the last report, Ukrainians took control over the western part of the Russian settlement of Sudzha. Yesterday, Ukrainians launched a pincer maneuver on the...
