KYIV: Russia stated Tuesday that its forces checked an effort by Ukrainian troops to increase a surprising weeklong incursion into the Kursk area, as a Ukrainian overseas ministry spokesman stated Kyiv has no intention of occupying Russian territory. Russian military items, together with recent reserves, plane, drone groups and artillery forces, stopped Ukrainian armoured cell teams from transferring deeper into Russia close to the Kursk settlements of Obshchy Kolodez, Snagost, Kauchuk and Alexeyevsky, a Russian defence ministry assertion stated.
In the meantime, Ukrainian overseas ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi stated the cross-border operation was geared toward defending Ukrainian land from long-range strikes launched from Kursk.”Ukraine isn’t all for taking the territory of the Kursk area, however we need to shield the lives of our folks,” he stated, including that Russia had launched over 2,000 strikes from the Kursk area in latest months. The commander of the Ukrainian army, Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated Ukraine now controls 74 settlements in Kursk area. “Ukrainian troops have continued to advance, gaining management over 40sqkm of territory previously 24 hours.”
