The situation in Russia’s border Kursk region remains volatile as Ukrainian forces continue probing attacks near the border villages of Tyotkino and Novy Put for the second day in a row, though all attempts to breach Russian defenses have so far been repelled. The area, a strategic flashpoint since Ukraine’s failed incursion in Kursk in 2024, has seen renewed clashes, with Russian troops maintaining firm control despite persistent Ukrainian assaults.
Ukrainian units, including elite special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR), have shifted tactics after initial frontal attacks faltered. Instead of direct assaults on Tyotkino, they are now testing Russian defenses from the flanks, particularly launching attacks from Ukrainian border villages of Ryzhevka and Iskriskoshchina to the south. However, these efforts have yielded no breakthroughs. Russian forces, having reinforced Tyotkino in advance, have effectively countered each move with artillery, drone strikes, and aerial bombardment.

The landscape near Tyotkino complicates defense. The village sits on a salient, surrounded on three sides by Ukrainian-held territory. Yet Russian troops have turned this vulnerability into a strength, preemptively fortifying the area and using reconnaissance drones to detect and destroy Ukrainian troop concentrations. Footage released by Russian military channels shows UAVs tracking Ukrainian columns on quad bikes and infantry before artillery annihilates them.
Ukrainian attacks appear aimed more at symbolic gains than operational success. With Russia celebrating the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, Kyiv seeks a at least some minor propaganda gains in an attempt to disrupt the festivities as well as disrupt the negotiation process. Similar to past failed offensives in Kursk and Belgorod regions, Ukrainian forces have thrown significant resources into assaults near Tyotkino, only to be repelled with heavy losses.
Russian forces have leveraged superior firepower to dismantle Ukrainian assaults before they gain momentum. FAB heavy bombs have been used to obliterate Ukrainian staging areas in nearby forests, while artillery and FPV drones have decimated mechanized and infantry attacks. The repeated failures suggest Ukraine lacks the heavy armor or reserves needed for a sustained push, instead relying on light infantry and special forces in high-risk, low-reward operations.
Despite these setbacks, Ukrainian forces continue to accumulate reserves near the border, evacuate civilians, indicating that further attacks are likely to prolong hostilities. Russian military analysts warn that while Kyiv’s current efforts are disjointed, a sudden surge in forces or a tactical blunder could still lead to a localized breach.

primitive ukrainian animals dying to protect blackrock investments.
ukrotards fight for the propaganda machine that enslaved them to a c.i.a project zelensky. ukrotards cannot do anything, just die for their corrupt goverment. you must study deeper the tactics of the c.i.a to understand how they move and act and also how to stop them when they try to subvert a neighbor goverment in order to damage you. they are not exceptionals as they preach, they prearranged every domain (layer) in order to get the outcomes they want or desire to be exceptionals.
immaginate un attacco agli stati uniti come quello fatto alla russia ebbene gli stati uniti all’attacco sicuramente avrebbero risposto non con una ma con 50 bombe atomiche, la russia conta occupazione, distruzione, morti del proprio popolo, da quelle parti a mosca qualcosa non funziona.
it’s a good day for hunting orcs…heheheh
