Kursk region under attack. Russians angry, Ukrainians advance
Smirnov’s information differs slightly from the feelings of the residents of the Kursk region. A resident of Soga in Kursk Oblast criticized what has been happening in her city in recent days, claiming that there has been no organized evacuation of the civilian population.
Meanwhile, according to Russian sources, Ukrainian forces have advanced about 30 km into the Kursk region of Russia, using two attack routes. Ukrainian forces have successfully bypassed Russian positions, reportedly reaching the cities of Bolshoi Soldatskoye and Ivnitsa.
The Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region of Russia has been going on for three days. The Ukrainians have captured 11 cities in less than 48 hours. About 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers have stormed the Russian border into the Kursk region with tanks and armored vehicles under the cover of drones and artillery. A state of emergency has been in place in the region since Wednesday. The Russian military has also allegedly lost control of the Soga gas metering station, which supplies about half of Europe’s gas supplies.
