Ukrainian forces inflict losses on the Russian army in Kursk

A Ukrainian military official confirmed that his forces inflicted losses on his Russian counterpart in Kursk, southern Russia, the day after the latter announced that Ukraine had begun a counterattack in this region.
On Sunday, the Ukrainian government announced that its forces had begun a new attack in the Kursk region in western Russia, following its sudden incursion into the region last summer.

“Kursk region, good news: Russia is getting what it deserves,” Andriy Yermak, director of the Ukrainian President’s Office, explained via the Telegram application, referring to reports by military bloggers about a new advance in Kursk.

Andrei Kovalenko, head of the Anti-Disinformation Center of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, noted that Russian forces were surprised by the attack in the Kursk region.

He pointed out that the Ukrainian attacks are continuing in several directions, while the Ukrainian army did not initially release any information about the attacks.
This comes as Moscow announced that Kiev had begun a “counterattack” in the Kursk region in southern Russia, where Ukrainian forces have controlled hundreds of square kilometers since the attack it launched in August 2024.
