Oleksandr Kovalenko, military and political analyst with the Information Resistance Group, says that in the Kursk region, Ukraine's forces have expanded control, matching Russian advances

He spoke about this on Espreso TV.

“As for the situation in the Kursk region, we do not know what it is in reality, because the information we have is mostly from Russian propaganda. And no one knows what is happening on the part of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The impression is that the Russians are making some advances in the direction of Opanasovka- Snagost - Lubimovka, which is a maneuverable defense. As for what is happening in the direction of the Glushkovsky district or in the north in the Korenevsky district, on the road to Lgov, no one is talking about it. However, I think we will find out this week. Because the Ukrainian Defense Forces have the same expansion of the zone of control as the Russian occupiers have some advances within their “phenomenal counteroffensive,” noted the military and political observer of the Information Resistance Group.

According to him, if this Russian counteroffensive had had the appropriate efficiency, then control over the overall situation in the Kursk region would not have been transferred from Dyumin (Secretary of the State Council of the Russian Federation - ed.) to Bortnikov (Director of the FSB of the Russian Federation - ed.). Even Dyumin failed to live up to the expectations that the Kremlin war criminal had for him.

“We are now on September 30, another week and it will be the second month of the Kursk operation. On August 6, the Russian group in the Kursk region had a strength of just under 10,000 personnel. Now the Kursk group has more than 41,000 personnel. During this period, the Russians suffered losses of somewhere over 10,000, and this is not according to our data, but from Russian publics. That is, over these two months, 50,000 personnel of the Russian forces were involved in the Kursk region alone,” Oleksandr Kovalenko summarized.

  • On September 27, the American Institute for the Study of War reported that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) may lack training and equipment to respond to the Ukrainian army's offensive in the Kursk region.
  • Bild also reported that the Russians were planning a major offensive in the Kursk region, but it failed.
