The Russian military repelled another wave of attacks by Kiev forces in the region of Kursk, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on August 22.
In a briefing, the ministry said that the military’s Sever Group of Forces prevented Kiev forces from advancing close to the settlements of Komarovka, Malaya Loknya, Korenevo, Martynovka, Olgovka and Russkoye Porechnoye. At least 45 Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded during the failed attacks. One tank and four armored fighting vehicles were also destroyed.
The military also continued operations to locate and eliminate small Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups attempting to infiltrate deep into Kursk, according to the ministry.
In a forest belt one kilometer to the southwest of the settlement of Skrylevka, a group from the 82nd Air Assault Brigade was located and eliminated. The ministry said that two armored fighting vehicles and seven troops were eliminated. Another soldier from the group was captured.
The ministry added that Russian air and artillery strikes also inflicted losses on Ukraine’s 22nd, 115th mechanized and 82nd Air Assault Brigade near the settlements of Apanasovka, Borki, Vishnyovka, Gordeyevka, Mikhailovka, Plekhovo, Snagost and Loknya.
Other strikes targeted the equipment and troops of the 22nd, 41st, 61st mechanized brigades, 80th, 82nd air assault brigades, 1st National Guard Brigade, 103rd, 106th, 107th and 119th territorial defense brigades as well as the 69th Rifle Battalion in the Ukrainian region of Sumy region near the settlements of Basovka, Boyaro-Lezhachi, Vorozhba, Druzhba, Zhuravka, Krasnopolye, Katerinovka, Miropolskoye, Loknya, Obody, Pervomayskoye, Sumy, Starikovo and Chernevoye.
“Over the past 24 hours, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses have amounted to more than 300 Ukrainian troops and 23 units of hardware, including three tanks, 20 armored fighting vehicles, one artillery gun and 15 motor vehicles,” the ministry said.
“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses amounted more than 4,700 Ukrainian troops, 68 tanks, 27 infantry fighting vehicles, 53 armored personnel carriers, 336 armored fighting vehicles, 148 motor vehicles, 32 artillery guns, five SAM [surface-to-air missile] launchers, ten MLRS launchers, including three of HIMARS system and one of MLRS [multiple launch rocket] system, six electronic warfare stations, as well as four units of engineering vehicles, including two counter obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle,” it added.
The ministry also released video footage showing recent strikes by Su-34 fighter bombers and Mi-35 attack helicopters that targeted Ukrainian gatherings near the border of Kursk.
Kiev forces launched their attack in Kursk early on August 6. Western-made weapons and foreign mercenaries played a key role in the attack, which was apparently orchestrated with help from NATO.
Since the start of the attack, at least 31 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 140 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 130,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.

hehehe ukrainian nazis dying on russian soil to honor their german great-grandparents hehehe
send more russians to turkiye (antalya,izmir) (istanbul- adalar, avcilar, beylikduzu , florya, yesilkoy districts)
turkish people , russians are warriors
lgbt send them to france. no lgbt in turkey.
if this is indeed “fact” “ukraine tried to attack kursk nuclear plant to stage provocation: putin”, which we are most certain that it is… why doesn’t the russian federation shut it down until it reinforces it’s troops and the security perimeter to the commercial nuclear facility?… if russia knows and understands the desperation of the north atlantic terrorist organization than why give them an invitation to “finish” wwiii with the ballistic “firecrackers”?…
the ukrainian ownership in new york and london is not desperate. they are getting tremendous mileage out of ukretardism. the ukrainians are still able to keep hundreds of thousands of men in the field, despite whatever losses have been incurred. the related brain disease of polish revanchism can be relied upon to destablize economic integration of russia with europe for some time to come.
” the related brain disease of polish revanchism can be relied upon to destablize economic integration of russia with europe for some time to come.”…
wow!… mr. clyde such a downer given your ever present cheerleader stance of master putin!… so you are saying this could drag on for years???… and with what money to keep it going???? hint: i was thinking china and india too -but at this stage their are limits.
they love their second cottage(s) in north america just like russian and american j**$ love their second home(s) in i$rael!… will be a real pity if russia decides to a call it a day and quits the party for all 3 of those dual national(s) decisions… decisions…
great strawman. congratulations on keeping your derp streak alive. truly, you’re the ironman of derp.
and a further question is, how many red lines need to be crossed before putin realizes the west wants wwiii? or is he still hoping his “friend” trump will win and pull the plug on ukraine?
putin is doing everything he can to prevent www3. he knows, it does not have to happen. so, tell me, did we have this war when trump was president ? no, ukraine is not a nato member, and should never be. they already made a deal, but the skank west laughed at putin after they broke that deal. so, as far as i see it, putin is in the right and has the right to destroy ukraine, and the west’s liars. and that is what he is doing. a no brainer, people.
dumb amerikunt vote for homer simpson
fee fi fo fum… i smell a j** who is increasingly worried about his western bank account(s) and bunker!…
a nuclear power plant is not a cell phone that can be quickly turned off with the push of a button. it has to be shut down and such a step would take a long time and endanger the power supply in the region. in addition, even a shut down nuclear power plant is still vulnerable to a meltdown if it is attacked.
so after 16 days it looks the front stabilized and the real neutralizing of nazis and equipment begins. hopefully many forced conscripts will surrender and survive!
stabalized in what way? the ukrop keep advancing all over the place in kursk.
according to girl maths, taking two steps forward and one bullet in the head… is “advancing” all ovet….r..i..g..h..t….
my gay amerikunt hillbilly banka believe cnn
ukraine is dying, in russia, thats all. you are dreaming, wake up dumbass.
when i am prez ilugoyuf tyidyd5 sleazykunt. jensholm
the russians aren’t doing a very good job repelling, they are losing more territory in kursk every day. the ukrop are developing a full blown offensive and not much of anything is being done to stop it.
it sure seems that way. however as soon as putin is told about this battle going on in russia he’ll make sure the russian army does their job ..!
if not much of anything is being done to stop it, why haven’t the ukrainians made it farther than 40km from the border? are they all walking?
do you take meds ? i think you forgot them today… russia is cleaning up the bodies of over 5000 dead morons that thought they could “advance” into russia. you have been lied to and you believed it. go get your bb gun and go help them “advance” some more if they are doing so well. lol.. at some point, you losers will have no choice, but to face reality.
i feel sorry for those civilians there. who knows how many civilians were kidnapped by the nazis.
yeah, that’s the sad part of the whole failed debacle. should get busy handing out shot guns and radios to all the lads in border towns so at least they can shoot down fpv drones and call in the troops if needed.
