500 Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in Kursk region
Up to 500 Ukrainian servicemen were surrounded by Russian troops in the area of Lyubimovka in the Kursk region. According to SHOT, the Ukrainian side has lost almost all of its armored vehicles and has no way to break out of the encirclement. The Ukrainian army's attempts to break through continue, but only lead to new losses of equipment.
Russian intelligence officers are actively blocking attempts by Ukrainian forces to break out of the encirclement. According to available information, three Russian soldiers were encircled for about a month and transmitted data on the positions of Ukrainian troops to their headquarters.
The day before, Russian Su-34 bombers attacked Ukrainian military positions and dropped several bombs. In addition, Russian troops blew up a bridge in the Sudzhanskoye area, disrupting the movement and logistics of Ukrainian troops in the area.
Earlier, after the start of the invasion of the Kursk region on August 6, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it would increase the pace of the offensive in Donbass.
