The Ukrainian side has not yet commented on the events in the Kursk region.
Channels close to the Ministry of Defense of Russia on the “Telegram” platform say that Ukrainian army units have captured the villages of Nikolayeva-Darzhina, Sverdlikova and Darzhina in the Suzh district of the Kursk region.
Farthest from the border – four kilometers away – is Darjina.
It is also alleged that Ukrainian troops tried to take control of the Rilska-Sudzha highway.
Propagandists claim that the Ukrainian army has moved into the western suburb of Suja, Goncharovka, eight kilometers from the border, where there are unconfirmed reports of fighting.
Battles were also taking place at the border farm “Olešņa”.
According to other reports, Ukrainian army units are located in Daryn, Sverdlikov, Gogolivka, Goncharovka, while Ukrainian soldiers have taken control of Russian support points in Aleshn.
In addition, it is reported that Ukrainian soldiers may be carrying out remote mining of the Suja-Belitsa highway.
Military bloggers claim that the width of the front in the Kursk region is ten to 11 kilometers, and in a narrow section of the front, the Ukrainians advanced ten kilometers west of Suja.
“Telegram” channel “Dva majora” reports that “it is impossible to knock out the Ukrainian forces from the occupied territory” and that the city of Suja has been “practically evacuated”.
According to propagandists, one or two battalions of the Ukrainian army entered the territory of the Kursk region.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on Wednesday that the advance of Ukrainian forces deep into Russian territory was not allowed.
The acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexey Smirnov, said that he informed the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin at night about a possible drone and missile attack on the region, as well as the fact that people are being taken out of the border areas. According to him, the authorities evacuated about 200 people, but several thousand left in their vehicles.
Putin called what is happening in the Kursk region a “large-scale provocation” by Ukraine.
