Russia claimed on Saturday that it had retaken the community in its Kursk border area, where Kyiv’s forces launched a shock offensive in August, and that it had retaken the village that is still under Russian control.
More than 1, 000 square kilometers ( 400 square miles ) of territory was taken over by Russian forces as a result of the Ukrainian campaign.
The Russian defense ministry stated on Telegram that” Models of the Northern Group of Troops liberated the town of Oleshnya during offensive activities.”
Only one another community, Gornal, is still under Russian control right now.
In March, Russian soldiers seized significant portions of the area, most notably forcing the Russians to leave Sudja, their main port of call.
Russian forces are currently bordering the Russian region of Sumy, which is facing Kursk, where they have currently launched incursions in subsequent weeks.
A woman was killed and a person and a child were hurt on Saturday when a Ukrainian drone struck a car in the Kursk region, according to provincial governor Alexander Khinstein on Telegram.
