Ukrainian troops show how they surround Russian forces in Kursk region

The two videos - a long one of 3 minutes and a short one of 13 seconds - were posted on the unit's Telegram channel.

"Two of the most modest assault battalions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, accompanied by the immodest us, the Khorne Group, are carrying out a double penitration of Russia and the Russian army. A leaky state with leaky borders," the statement says.

According to OSINT experts from the War Archive, the border breakthrough from the published videos took place "southwest of the village of Novyi Put, southeast of the village of Obukhivka and in the village of Veseloye, Kursk region".

This is a new place where the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the territory of the Russian Federation.

The breakthrough near Vesele on Friday, September 13, 2024, was first reported by paratroopers of the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade.

Ukrainian army surrounds Russians in Glushkovsky district of Kursk region

"The offensive is currently taking place in the area of Novyi Put with the advance towards Veseloye. This is to the west of the area where the enemy was actively attacking just a few days ago. This is an outflanking of the Russian units in the Glushkovsky district. Advancing a few kilometres in this direction will force the Russian army to ease its pressure to the east," commented Serhiy Zgurets, military analyst at Espreso.
