Ukraine Destroys Key Russian Bridge in Kursk Region
ai generated text
Ukrainian forces have launched a surprise operation in the Kursk region of Russia, resulting in the destruction of a critical bridge and the capture of several Russian settlements. According to reports, Russian forces have struggled to mount an effective response to the attack, which is the largest on the country since World War II. Analysts believe that the destruction of the bridge could hinder Russian efforts to respond to the Ukrainian attack. However, the Russian advance towards Pokrovsk has raised doubts about Ukraine's hopes that its cross-border offensive will prompt Moscow to scale back attacks elsewhere on the battlefield. The situation remains fluid, with conflicting information emerging from different sources.
I thank all our soldiers and commanders who are capturing Russian military personnel, thereby advancing the release of our warriors and civilians held by Russia.
In the Kursk region, we can clearly see how the military tool is being used objectively to persuade Russia to enter a fair negotiation process.
As a result of the attack on the bridge … it was completely destroyed, and volunteers who were assisting the evacuated civilian population were killed.
For the first time, the Kursk region was hit by Western-made rocket launchers, probably American HIMARS.
From 19 August, we are closing access to five settlements, removing residents and helping them bring out their property.
The key, in terms of Ukraine's success, [was that] they managed to penetrate Russian territory quite easily with little to no resistance. It was a complete surprise for the Russians, and it demonstrates that Russian intelligence services really failed to foresee any sort of Ukrainian incursion into the region.
Our pace in the Kursk region is five times faster than a 100,000-strong army!
Ukrainian pilots are conducting precision strikes on enemy strongholds, equipment concentrations, as well as on enemy logistics centers and supply routes.
I think that has a great value in terms of information warfare because these images, videos that we see … that is a really good morale boost for Ukrainians.
