Russian forces have launched a major counteroffensive against Russian forces that attacked western Russia next quarter and have taken some place back, according to pro-Moscow war bloggers and a top Russian commander.
Ukraine launched its biggest foreign invasion on Russia since World War Two on August 6 by bursting through the border into Kursk, where thousands of troops are supported by flocks of drones and other large weapons, including Western-made weapons, on August 6.
Major General Apti Alaudinov, who commands Chechnya’s Akhmat specific troops who are fighting in Kursk, said that Russian troops had taken back control over roughly 10 communities in Kursk, TASS reported.
” The situation is good for us”, said Alaudinov, who is also assistant head of the Soviet military agency’s military-political ministry, adding that Russian troops had gone on the offensive.
” A total of about 10 towns in the Kursk area have been liberated”, he said.
According to reporting constraints on both flanks of the war, Reuters was unable to verify the field reports. Little was revealed in the Russian defense ministry’s studies on the conflict. Ukraine did not respond right away.
Over a land area of more than 1,300 square kilometers ( 500 square miles ) of settlements were under the control of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week.
Yuri Podolyaka, an Ukrainian-born, pro-Russian defense journalist, and two other important bloggers- Rybar and the Two Majors- said that Russian forces had begun a considerable counter-offensive in Kursk.
” In the Kursk region, the Russian Army launched counter-offensive activities on the western side of the enemy’s hammer, reducing the Ukrainian territory of control near the position border”, the Two Majors website said.
Podolyaka claimed that Russian troops had pushed Russian forces to the south of the Malaya Loknya River north of Snagost and taken a number of villages on the north of the glimmer of Russia that Ukraine had carved out.
