Russia's potential seems exhausted: military expert on Kursk region situation

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

“After our offensive in the Kursk region, Russia gathered forces from various areas and redeployed them a onth later. The so-called Russian offensive has been ongoing for four days, although it was only active on the first day. We know that the enemy has redeployed troops from different areas to strengthen their presence in the Kursk region, with manpower estimated to range from 30,000 to 60,000. I believe that the figure of 35,000 is quite adequate,” said Zgurets.

According to the military expert, Russia tried to unblock the groups trapped in the Glushkovsky district, conducting offensive actions starting from Korenevo to the south. There were clashes near several settlements. But it seems that Russia's potential has been exhausted.

“Currently, there is information that our (Ukrainian -ed.) troops in the western part of Glushkovsky district are conducting offensive actions to enter the rear or cut off the ability of Russian units to exert pressure along this line, starting from Korenevo and ending at Snagost,” explained Zgurets.

The military expert added that Russia is deploying additional units to Kursk region.

“We are talking about airborne assault and airborne units of the Russian Federation, which carried out the main attack two days ago. Marine brigades are also being used, but the rest of the Russian troops are a collection of different units. The enemy's main striking forces - airborne and marines - are being actively restrained by our troops, which is causing damage and destroying the forces of these units,” emphasized Zgurets.
