Finally, Kyiv officially acknowledged its military operations on the Russian territory. In an attempt to gain some media benefits and declare victories to please its Western patrons, Zelensky is once again showing that Ukraine is a failed state without any democracy. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military is bleeding on the Russian border.
On August 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with the heads of the border regions. The Russian leadership acknowledged that the situation is difficult. According to the governor of the Kursk region, there are 28 settlements under Ukrainian control. The front is about 40 kilometers wide. According to ambitious General Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky, the Ukrainian military is in control of about 1,000 square kilometers of the Russian territory.
The real configuration of the frontlines in the Kursk region is covered by the smog of war. Main forces of the Ukrainian grouping operating in Russia were stopped by Russian border guards and military personnel deployed in the border areas. Soon, Russian military reserves hastily transferred to the border areas, including Chechen special forces and Wagner fighters, stabilized the frontlines and Russian forces are already launching counterattacks grinding Ukrainian units.
As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to achieve any significant advance in recent days. The Ukrainian military mainly attempts attacks by small assault groups probing Russian defense in different directions. The local Russian authorities warned that Ukrainian sabotage groups disguised in Russian military uniform with fake Russian documents are operating in the region.
On August 13, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian army repelled Ukrainian attempts to attack near the settlements of Snagost and Obschy Kolodez, Kauchuk, Alekseevsky located near each other.
The AFU attempt assault in the town of Sudzha. In the case of success, the settlement could become an important stronghold from where they could secure their offensive operations in different directions. According to the latest reports from the battlefield, both Russian and Ukrainian forces are present in the settlement.
The AFU likely gained a foothold in the village of Goncharovka on the western outskirts of Sudzha, from where they launch operations in the center of the town. Today, Ukrainian forces were spotted in Mohnovka on the southern outskirts of Sudzha. Operations of the AFU on the streets are complicated by the local small rivers. The Russian military is reportedly in control of the eastern and southeastern outskirts and prevents Ukrainian forces from gaining the full control of Sudzha.
The presence of Russian forces in Sudzha complicates Ukrainian attempts to pass the village by the northern flank and launch attacks by large forces on the villages of Mikhailovka, Martynovka and Bolshoe Soldatskoe located to the east. Today, Russian forces repelled another Ukrainian attack near the village of Martynovka that was recently recaptured by Russian forces as a result of counterattacks.
North of Sudzha, the AFU are trying to develop their offensive in different directions. After Ukrainian forces failed assault on the outskirts of Korenevo, they attempted attack in the villages of Korenevo and Olgovka located to the east but were also repelled. The ongoing attempts to attack Snagost also bring no results. The settlement is of strategic importance. There are several important roads, including the one leading to Korenevo, control of the road could pave the way for Ukrainian offensive on the town from the western direction.
Northeast of Sudzha, Ukrainian assault groups continue attempts to break through Russian defense in Malaya Loknya to secure control of the road leading to the city of Lgov. Ukrainian propaganda is also spreading fake videos of Ukrainian servicemen allegedly entering Lgov but Ukrainian lies are hastily revealed by attentive viewers. The road sign in the settlement differ from the fake one made by Ukrainians. So far, Ukrainian forces were only spotted in the village of Kromskie Byki, Ivnitsa and Kauchuk, where they were defeated and failed to gain a foothold. So far, Ukrainian forces have managed to take control only of the small village of Victorovka on the southwestern outskirts of Malaya Loknya.
Stopped in all directions, the Ukrainian military attempted offensive southeast of Sudzha. The main goal is likely to advance towards the town of Belaya in order to take control of more roads in the region. So far, Ukrainian forces were seen moving in the village of Giryi, where they were destroyed reportedly by Wagner fighters. Another Ukrainian group was spotted building fortifications in the forest areas near the village of Semenovka in this direction.
Russian authorities also confirmed that Ukrainian forces used chemical weapons, in particular in the Belaya direction in the Kursk region. According to the official reports on August 12, a civilian repair group came under fire of shells were with chemical weapons. Earlier, various military sources warned Russian servicemen that the ene,y deployed shells with chemical substances in other settlements in the region.
Unable to achieve new gains around Sudzha, the Ukrainian military attempts to contain Russian forces with battles in other areas along the border. For example, Ukrainian forces intensified shelling of the town of Tetkino located near the border northwest of Sudzha in the Kursk region. On August 12, Russian forces repelled several waves of Ukrainian attacks in the area of Kolotilovka border crossing in the Belgorod region. LINK
The Ukrainian military command is forced to send additional reinforcements to the Kursk region in an attempt to hold control of the captured settlements. Ukrainian media report that the General Staff of Ukraine proposed to transfer two more brigades to the Kursk direction in order to expand and maintain the created bridgehead on Russian territory. Zelensky reportedly agreed.
Judging by the reports from the front, the main goal of the Ukrainian grouping in the Kursk region is to hastily build military positions to save control of the captured areas for as long as possible, until any political decisions could be taken. Kyiv is set to prolong battles on the Russian territory despite heavy losses and the weakening of its defense on the Donbass frontlines. LINK
The main offensive operations in the Kursk region are launched by roving assault groups that attempt to enter the settlements and gain a foothold, waiting for main forces to come. This strategy allowed the Ukrainian military to gain a bridgehead in the border areas in the first days of the offensive, but it is no longer useful after the Russian military reinforced defense in the region. The assault groups are largely destroyed by Russian drones and missiles and Ukrainian losses grow. More and more Ukrainian servicemen surrender.
On August 13, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claimed that in total, during the fighting in the Kursk region, the AFU lost up to 2,030 military personnel, 35 tanks, 31 armored personnel carriers, 18 infantry fighting vehicles, 179 other armored combat vehicles, 78 vehicles, four anti-aircraft missile systems, two multiple rocket launchers and 14 field artillery guns.
At the same time, the Ukrainian army is suffering heavy losses as a result of constant Russian massive strikes in the Ukrainian border Sumy region, where Ukrainian reserves are pounded by various bombs and missiles.
A large number of foreign mercenaries armed with NATO weapons are involved in the operations in the Kursk region. Kyiv is unlikely to include their victims in the statistics of the losses of the Ukrainian army suffered on the Russian territory.
Unfortunately, the ongoing Ukrainian operations in the Kursk region are also causing civilian casualties. According to the latest official data, the deaths of 12 civilians were confirmed in the region, 121 people were wounded, including 10 children.
On August 13, the UN confirmed the deaths of four civilians in the Kursk region. The official representative of the UN Office for Human Rights confirmed that civilians were killed as a result of military actions on the part of Ukraine.
“We also know that several other civilians, including a journalist and medical workers, were injured. We don’t know exactly the circumstances of each incident,” the UN representative said.
The evacuation of civilians continue in the border regions. On August 12, the governor of the Kursk regions reported that 121 thousand residents out of 180 have already left the region. The fates of about 2,000 residents of the war-torn settlements remain unknown. Taking into account inhumane behavior of Ukrainian Nazis in the captured areas, the number of victims is likely to grow significantly.
Both local residents and captured Ukrainian servicemen testify on horrific war crimes against civilians of Ukrainian servicemen in the Kursk region. Volunteers disappeared after they came to the border regions to help evacuate civilians. Their relatives believe that they were captured by the AFU and taken to Ukraine. People who survived the first days of the attacks share their stories, describing Ukrainian atrocities. The footage from Sudzha shows dozens of civilian vehicles abandoned on the streets after Ukrainian attacks.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation launched criminal cases against Ukrainian military commanders and its specialists are investigating numerous war crimes against civilians in the region. More horrific details of Ukrainian atrocities will be revealed after the Russian army liberates the border areas.
In its turn, the terrorist Kyiv regime has indirectly confirmed its guilt. Trying to be proactive in the media, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that Russian special forces may stage war crimes of the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region. Thus, Kyiv is well aware of murders of Russian civilians, and is trying to hide its crimes blaming Russia for the alleged staged massacre, as Ukrainians did in Bucha.
Ukrainian tanks were filmed indiscriminately shelling civilian infrastructure:
Another guilt of the ruling regime is the complete enslavement of Ukraine and its population. Zelensky launched the military operations on the Russian territory without permission of the Verhovna Rada of Ukraine to deploy the Ukrainian military abroad. Learning the best lessons of his patrons in Washington, the illegitimate president in Kyiv cancelled elections in the country and is ignoring the Ukrainian constitution.
The attacks in the Kursk region once again highlighted the true face of the ‘best democracy in the world which is fighting Russia to protect the civilized Western garden’. Despite all the attempts of the MSM and Ukrainian propaganda to brainwash their audience, the terrorist Kyiv regime captured power in Ukraine, turned it into a true totalitarian failed state and incited aggression against the Russians. This did not happen in the past week. This has been the Ukrainian reality for a decade, carefully concealed by Western warmongers.
P.S. As a result, Western vehicles are again being seized and destroyed by Russian soldiers on the Russian land :
these american mercenazis showed in the videos have to be killed without mercy. the russian constitution does not protect terrorists with the right of pows. no more prisoners
speaking as an american post-9/11… to the russian soldiers holding the ones that are still alive… before shooting them in the forehead please ask them how they could serve in the u.$. armed forces after knowing the truth of what their own government did to it’s own citizens that got them to ukraine?… than dump them all in an unmarked pit with a sign in russian that reads…
здесь покоятся худшие отбросы земли, которые предали и убили своих 9/11!/2001 в память о тех долларах сша. правительство предавало и убивало с того дня, который привел их в это место – мы никогда не забудем!
correction: speaking as an american post-9/11… to the russian soldiers holding the ones that are still alive from nato… before shooting them in the forehead please ask them how they could serve in the u.$. armed forces after knowing the truth of what their own government did to it’s own citizens that got them to ukraine 22 years 11 months and 28 days later -knowing the truth?… than dump them all in an unmarked pit with a sign in russian that reads…
здесь покоятся самые страшные отбросы земли… кто предал своих, узнав правду о событиях 11 сентября 2001 года, и что их правительство сделало в тот день, что не прекращалось с тех пор – мы никогда не забудем!
why would they write broken russian? “страшные” are you praising them ? “предал” -и should be plural. “узнав правду о событиях 11 сентября 2001” so finding the truth was their crime ?
in english – “here lie the most terrible dregs of the earth… who betrayed their own people by learning the truth about the events of september 11, 2001, and what their government did on that day that has not stopped “them” since then – we will never forget!”!…
if by “them” in (what their government did on that day that has not stopped “them”…) you mean the fighters, then it should be остановило . as for “terrible” that’s not what страшный is (you were praising them) should be ужасные or гадкие etc…
damn langley google!…
no reason to shoot any prisoner when they can perform work in gulags.
for decades.
lol but they are more worthy
kill the nazis don’t let them live, the world is grateful for every nato ukrainian killed
i suppsse it is not easy to kill.ukro losers on the spot, even if they deserve it. but mercs should be exterminated, like the rats they are.
they ukro stste should cease to exist as independet country as germany did it after their defeat 80 years ago. please, stop being so mercyful with the ukro nato scum.
you smell sweaty over lip ghey frustration here. so you are at right forum.
only if nazis had a brain, if the grinding on the front wasn’t enough, going into russia to get grinded is a whole new level of idiocy, dam, all they had to do is stay on the front and wait their turn, lmao
i heard this line so many times. yet war has been going on for 2 years and russia has been making snail like gains. russia is just embarrassing
embarassing for whom? the five eyes said russia invaded ukraine in 2014 after the us coup in kiev and the resulting ethnic cleansing ato in donbas. so the americans and nato vassals spent eight years arming, training, advising, supplying and supporting the ukrainians, who then gave up 20% of their territory in a week. the “snail” has left a trail across tens of thousands of square kmk of territory forfeited by the failed ukrainian cia project.
might come as a surprise to you, but russia took the industrial, mineral-rich and arable lands of formerly ukraine in 2 weeks tops. the west and north are worth fook all without the south east and therefore only fun to bomb to prevent reinforcement. 🤡
that is lindsey graham’s and (((blackrock’s))) $10-12 trillion in resources. looks like the amerikunts won’t be able to grab that now. they’ll have to console themselves with stealing a measly 300 billion from russia. meanwhile this little rumble in the ukraine and middle east has already cost them trillions and rekt western economies. pity about monsanto and gates losing all that farmland. shame, really.
ha ha ha as they kick russian trash azz lol most orcs ran away eh
idiot outburst…feel the paaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin of the moron
everybody is so happy ukrainian freedom army comes, people run out of their houses to meet the heroes. for the feudalism nazi red ghey zombie orch army it was a sad day of depression as every ghey hbtq day they have
so it’s allabout freedumbs.
you can’t really blame them, c. the russian army has been completely wiped out and they only have shovels left to fight with. they have to console themselves by getting blind drunk on vodka and running away to find women to rape. the mighty 6,000 strong estonian army has been detailed by nato to invade russia and finish off johnny russian once and for all. they don’t have any tanks, but who needs them against people armed only with shovels?
you mark my words, once they get going they will be hoisting the estonian flag (and probably the lgbt flag and the tranny flag, while they’re at it) over the kremlin within a week. it’s game over for putin.
if russia one of the strongest armies in the world can’t control a 2nd rate army seizing 1000 sq km in a time of war shows you how feeble russia is. was supporting russia in this conflict but now i’m not can’t suppress gross incompetence
li’l nafomosexual rascal, you! the failed ukrainian cia project couldn’t ethnically cleanse donbas in eight years with us and nato vassals arming, training, advising, supplying and supporting the ato. ten years on from the 2014 us coup in kiev, the russians are sitting on several hundred thousand sq km of territory forfeited by the failed ukrainia cia project. can you think of anything more grossly incompetent than the us conduct with their ukrainian puppet?
ha ha ha russia sucks lol eh say bye bye now.
the cankee 51st staters are too busy pleasuring themselves with their hockey sticks to care.
i think nato are brainwashed fools but they are certainly not second rate and they are willing to die for their fuhrer which makes them dangerous. the west is emptying their large stockpiles of weaponry in this war for bankers and other profiteers and they found enough useful idiots to do it. and yes, this war will last to the fuhrer bunker in kiev (but he will leave for his wine estate or other mansion).
all countries are vulnerable to infiltration and are defensless in one way or another. literally hundreds of thousands of people crossed the border of the us in 2023. the incursion into israel last year is an example of effective short range offensive tactics without the long term goal of holding territory. ukraine gave russia now the right to seize far greater areas of its own nation than just certain ukrainan russian areas like donbass, etc. .
obviously you don’t get the big picture. the goals of the smo from day 1 are to destroy the nazi$, their weapons and make sure natostan never gets to occupy the rotten cadaver of rump ukrapland when this slaughter fest is finished. which goal is mother russia not doing?
well, look at you… insulting nato as a second rate army. the russians would agree, nato are second rate war criminals, second rate organ traffickers, second rate child rapists, second rate adrenochome farmers, second rate nazi zionist scumbags targetting civilians with no honour.
according to the telegraph and daily mail, we are all about to be murdered in our beds by the dastardly putin, even though 97% of the russian army has been wiped out and they only have shovels left to fight with. must be high tech shovels.
yes, you’re quite right, r. russia is so weak and incompetent i just can’t understand why nato bothers to exist at all, let alone keep increasing military spending! the russians are so weak that captain mainwaring and the walmington-on-sea platoon could finish off johnny russian before breakfast all by themselves!
ablyablyaboba baba babachushka blyobala bliyobaba babalyunbkiva.
at least one who raises the level to a decent niveau here, -schrumpfkopf!
judging by the attitudes of all the people willing to kill indiscriminately, it looks like earth is really in for it. when people say ‘live by the sword, die by the sword’, remind them of how many worse ways there are to go, especially if you’re captured alive, on a planet of scumbag evil trash. anyone who understands this place should know better than being captured or taken alive here. do you have enough ammo?
we zelensky, aurgh, we need more maney!
just take a look at thkse americans, this one in front is sure a wahhabi waste.🗑 so all over western hemisphere are those so called ‘true’ muslims, and now that american breed of frankenstein monsters are all over the place. once russians take back all this, it will be revealed what war crimes they did.
i think couple of days ago i’ve tild you about those mercenaries from all over the world, freed from mental asylums, high security prisons and elsewhere throng there to kursk. i told you that and you downvoted me. well, now it is quite obvious.
they’ll send say all those imbeciles from pakistan to die in hordes just for weakening russia, and moreover humiliation that is obvious. all sorts of a human trash.
it (zelenskyy presidency) is a terrorist regime and it needs liquidation. no ifs no buts.
deff with ya.
without mobilization there will be not enought soldier for kursk and belgorod. zelensky sends 2 more units to support invation in russian main land. f16 and other nato vehicles supporting ukro troops. more poland and georgian merceneries are on the wsy to support the war zone. america very happy because ukraine controls 1000km2
they need to behead those americans isis style!
nato believe that attacking russia from 3 diffirent weak cities will win over the russian population, therefore at last people of russia i mean russians will down putin
the type of planning and execusion of this invasion smack of nato planning and command. the fact that the invasion happened left the russian red carpet knights with red faces full of eggs…
170 years ago the russians were taken by surprise here as well. it was called the charge of the light brigade.
if i hold by diaper for 2 hours nurse –amerikunt homer simpson–say i can occupy kursk for 3 day and despite failure declare victory
my fuhrer putin, gerasimov has lost 350 square kilometers of russian territory to ukraine. gerasimov lied about the advance being stopped.
***putin road rages in hitler mode!!!*** :)
this can’t be true. putin died of athlete’s foot 2 years ago and has been replaced by a body double.
we’ve gone from taking kyiv in 3 days to losing 350 sq km of russian territory in 3 days! :)
we’re being humiliated by ukraine!!!!!!!
yes, you’re quite right, m. it’s all a complete disaster! nothing can be done about it! everybody except you is completely stupid and totally incompetent!
all is lost! you might as well just jump under a bus or stick your head in the gas oven, m.
gerasimov is going to be thrown out of the windoe for this. he has allowed ukrainians to invade russia easily. no one has done that since 1941! i thought we are the second largest military power in the world.
another lie!!!!!!!!!!!
how we did not know this invasion was coming ? where the hell was the intel? !?!?!?
ukraine has caught us with our pants while playing tetris! now were goin to have to divert forces and resources to defend kursk! were supposed to takeover ukraine easily. now we’re taken over by ukraine! we’re lucky this is not soviet union anymore or else we have been purged by stalin!!!
nafomosexual just gnawing on your pillow! how many times could you fit 350 sq km into the total territory lost by the failed ukrainian cia project since the 2014 coup?
bobo idiota clyde thinking that russia will win the war according to russian bots! cykablyat!
at least clyde doesn’t talk to himself the nonsense of 77th brigade hopium shibboleth…
putin has make russian army a joke just by allow erdogan and usa to todo s their please.putin please western leaders instead of fighting them to respect russia..putin is a useless spy of russia risking russia
russia should start sending either troops or fake troops to the belarus border that is 100 km from kiev.
that’s already happening…
the fact is that vladimir putin is a shameless military amateur who no matter how many times he gets humiliated he always tries to project.
life is hard, son. but its harder when u are ukrainian
as soon as the nazis are discovered it’s game over, they will start to realize soon they will be in a cauldron and will be be target practice.
bulshit. there is no 1000 ukro troops. there is 10000+ ukro troops in the kursk at the moment
who ever said that this troll farm is supposed to be a real news site?
slava russia greetings from the netherlands i support russia but this should never have happend
28 settlements? kursk oblast is not fkn israel, kursk residents are not genocidal settlers. call them what they are, villages
they’re not big enough to be villages. most of them have got a sign outside saying: population 19 (plus one stray cat.)
