Separately, Russian media released several videos showing some of the strikes that hit Kiev forces in the Kursk direction in recent days.
Kiev forces launched a surprise attack from Sumy into Kursk last August, relying mainly on foreign mercenaries and Western-made weapons.
Since the start of the attack, at least 56 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 266 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 144,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.
The Russian military launched a counter-attack in Kursk in September. Nearly half of the settlements initially occupied by Ukrainian troops have been already liberated.
According to the Russian MoD, since the start of the battle in Kursk Kiev forces have lost 27,150 troops, 177 tanks, 97 infantry fighting vehicles, 106 armored personnel carriers, 1,014 armored fighting vehicles, 693 motor vehicles, 229 artillery guns, 40 launchers, including 11 American-made HIMARS and six MLRS systems, nine air defense systems, seven transport-loading vehicles, 57 electronic warfare stations, 11 counter-battery radars, three aerial radars, 22 engineering vehicles, including 13 counter obstacle vehicles, one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle and three armored recovery vehicle.

looking on the maps, it really doesn’t look like half of the settlements were liberated. it looks pretty much as a stalemate and it will not change until the next year spring as winter is not a good season for big offensive. so again, it is a lot of propaganda and very limited information. we are not imbeciles. sorry.
“we are not imbeciles. sorry.”
i’d rethink that if i were you.
the truth is that russian generals = morons overlooked 20,000 ukrainian troops and hundred of vehicles, the ukraine attack caught them completely off guard, a lot of russian soldiers died there, 200,000 civilians fled as best they could, because russia completely f*cked them up. then it took a month or so for the relevant orders to bubble up and down, and after a month or so it’s still in the same state, so it’s a mess
and you could stuff that damn propaganda with your damn putin in your ass.
kursk is the reason why nazis losing villages after villages everyday in donbass. dumbasses
some times it seems that clown zelenskyy is more inclined to help putin than anything else
