This entry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into the Kursk region differs from the previous ones in the number of forces. This time it does not look like a guerrilla tactic of a sabotage and reconnaissance group. Tanks are participating and at least 2 brigades.

Putin made a statement. He admitted that Ukraine organized "another provocation". A state of emergency has been declared in the region. Information from the Kursk region is currently coming mainly from the Russian side. The Military Group North of Alexander Lapin

is responsible for this direction on the Russian side, but it is currently fighting in the Kharkiv direction. With its advance, the Ukrainian Armed Forces can cut the railway in Sudzha, through which the Russian army in the Kharkiv region receives supplies. By cutting

the railway in Sudzha, Ukraine greatly complicates the logistics of Military Group North. The Ukrainian move was a surprise for everyone. Especially for Russia. The partisans from the "Atesh" movement also noted that Russia in the Kursk region began to use Russian civilians

to fight the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Local authorities have gathered those who know how to operate drones or are studying to be drone operators. They only have to train civilians for 10 hours, since they skip studying the process of soldering and programming drones. At the

moment, Ukraine has been able to advance up to 20 km into Russian territory, capturing many Russian soldiers along the way. The largest surrenders on the Russian side have occurred in this direction. At the moment, in two days around 100 Russian soldiers have surrendered.

Mostly conscripts are deployed in this area. The Ukrainian side has not commented on the operation in any way, maintaining the element of surprise. Such operations have been successful in the past. Russian logistics are poor when it comes to fast action.

Russian tactics have always been to win through mass, not maneuvers. Although it cannot be said that the Russians do not resort to tricks. In any case, the Ukrainian attack caught them off guard.
