In recent days, Ukrainian armed forces have taken control of several other settlements in the Kursk region. According to the Military Research Institute, during the last 24 hours, on August 16, the defense forces advanced to the southeast of the city of Suja.
Specifically, according to Russian war bloggers, it is about their advance to the east of the settlement of Mirnoje and to the south of the settlement of Spalnay, located near this city. Geolocation images also show the activity of the Ukrainian military within the borders of the Borki settlement to the southeast of the city.
Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s anti-disinformation center, said that Russia may be preparing a nuclear provocation.
“Their scenario of accusing us of terrorism and the attack on the Kursk nuclear power plant did not work, now they are lying about the ‘dirty bomb’ and our possible provocation. This is proof that Russia can prepare a terrorist attack,” he wrote.
The White House answered whether Vladimir Putin could use a nuclear weapon in response to the operation of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region.
As of August 15 White House National Security Adviser John Kirby said in an interview with reporters that V. Putin is concerned, but the United States does not see an increase in the Kremlin’s nuclear rhetoric, Voice of America reports.
