The Russia's Defense Ministry reported that hostilities have been ongoing in Kursk Oblast since 8:00 a.m. on Aug. 6.
300 soldiers from Ukraine’s 22nd Mechanized Brigade, supported by 11 tanks and over 20 armored vehicles, approached the border and attacked border guards in Mykolayevo-Daryno and Oleshna. Battles in the Kursk Oblast involve the FSB’s border troops and PKS aviation, with Russian forces allegedly transferring reserves, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
Russian propagandists reported this morning that Ukrainian Armed Forces penetrated the Suzhan district of the Kursk Oblast. Local sources in Kursk mentioned three Ukrainian tanks advancing with infantry towards the villages of Kurylivka and Goncharivka. Authorities in the Kursk Oblast claim the breakthrough has been stopped.
The Ukrainian side has not officially commented on these events.
Raids by Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Border oblasts of Belgorod and Kursk
In March, Russian volunteers carried out a raid in the Belgorod and Kursk oblasts. On March 12, three units comprising Russian citizens — the "Freedom of Russia" Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), and the Siberian Battalion — crossed the border into Russia, announcing an operation to "liberate the Russian Federation from dictatorship." Preliminary reports indicate that the operation, accompanied by mass UAV attacks, is taking place in the Belgorod and Kursk oblasts.
On March 14, the Russian Volunteer Corps announced a massive attack in these areas and called on residents to evacuate, organizing a humanitarian corridor. On March 15, RDK reported that more than 7,000 civilian vehicles from Belgorod and the surrounding Oblast used the humanitarian corridor.
Andriy Yusov, a representative of Ukraine's HUR, stated that Russia's Belgorod and Kursk oblasts have become active combat zones.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
