In an attempt to calm the civilian population, Russian propagandists are leaking the coordinates of military convoys. The destruction of a military convoy near the village of Oktiabrskoye does not prompt Russians to be more careful.

This once again indicates that Russia is unprepared for the unexpected. Due to the suddenness of the attack, Ukraine can fully expect the success of its operation, no matter what its goals are. The fact that this is a serious blow to the reputation of Putin and the command

is reflected in the comments of local residents, who tearfully ask Putin to come to the rescue and do not see any decisive action from the authorities. Official channels report that the advance has been stopped and at the same time

Ukraine has expanded the combat zone in the Kursk region to 430 square kilometers. They also managed to destroy a Russian column near the city of Rylsk, which was most likely moving to reinforce. The Telegram channel agentstvonews published videos of the aftermath of the

attack on a military column in the Kursk region. The video shows more than ten burned trucks, with the remains of soldiers visible inside some. According to military analyst Yan Matveyev, an entire battalion was destroyed. "This is one of the bloodiest and most massive

strikes (most likely HIMARS) in the entire war," he writes. Also, agentstvonews, citing Mash, writes that FSB officers detained a 48-year-old resident of the village of Oktyarskoye, he was accused of filming "the aftermath of the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and

1/9 The story of a failed and cowardly policy: Ukraine's ongoing incursion in the Kursk region should demonstrate to the entire Western world that there is no need for escalation management with russia. Take by @joni_askola

2/9 It is premature to determine whether Ukraine's current incursion into the Kursk region represents anything beyond a significant PR victory and humiliation for Putin, but at this point, anything is possible.

3/9 Although we can make some educated guesses, we are not fully aware of all of Ukraine's military objectives in this incursion. However, from a political and symbolic standpoint, this has dealt a significant blow to Putin's russia.

Ukraine struck in a direction completely opposite to the main direction of the Russian offensive in the Donetsk region. In this place, the Russian army was unprepared to repel a rapid massive attack. It is reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine completely control Sudzha.

There is shooting on the city's borders, mines have been planted on main roads, there is a video of civilian cars coming under small arms fire and shelling. It is unknown from whose side the shooting was carried out. It could have been the Russians, fearing

the sabotage and reconnaissance groups, or it could have been the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because the Russian army often uses civilian transport for movement, again exposing civilians to attack. Strong electronic warfare is operating in the border area and movement of

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.

More and more often, videos appear on the Internet where wounded Russian soldiers finish themselves off. Russia continues to advance and has made some progress in the direction of Chasiv Yar and Pokrovsk. There are also local successes in the Toretsk direction. The more

furiously Russia attacks, the more such videos we see. Russian propaganda on all channels says that a soldier must "die for the Motherland", directly saying that it is a sacred duty not to surrender and to use the last bullet for oneself. The cult of death and pseudo-heroism.

In addition, propaganda and political instructors already at the front constantly talk about the terrible torture in Ukrainian captivity. Russian soldiers, knowing how their own people treat them, easily believe this propaganda. The "don't surrender campaign" is promoted
