On August 6, fighting continued in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation along the border with Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry initially stated that “the Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group retreated to its territory” after allegedly attempting to break through the Kursk region, and that Russian forces were striking the Sumy region. The Sumy OVA reported that a Russian helicopter had been shot down over the region, in particular.
The Russian agency subsequently removed the information about the retreat, and regional authorities stated that the situation on the border remained tense, but “controlled.”
Videos have also emerged of interrogations of Russian servicemen who say they were captured in the Kursk region. A number of Russian Telegram channels have identified some of them, but the Russian authorities have not officially announced this.
Videos of what were supposedly today’s attacks were also circulated on social networks. There was no footage of Ukrainian soldiers there.
The involvement of Ukraine in these events was neither confirmed nor denied by the member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security Venislavsky on the air of Radio Liberty. Also, the sources of the NV publication in the GUR refused to comment on the topic of the breakthrough.
Russian war correspondents write that the Russians have lost control over at least four border settlements.
The population of the city of Sudzha has been almost completely evacuated, shelling is underway in the area, Russian forces are trying to prevent unknown forces from entering the city.
Several UAVs attacked the Voronezh region; in Kursk, UAVs are constantly in the air.
