The head of the Russian General Staff, Gerasimov, claimed that Ukraine has deployed around 1,000 troops with Western Stryker armored vehicles and tanks, as well as UAVs, air defense systems and electronic warfare equipment .

A likely victory of Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk region is consistent with US policy, and Ukraine has the right to use American weapons. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh announced this on Thursday, August 8, in a briefing.

“They are taking steps to protect themselves from attacks coming from this region, which is consistent with US policy about where Ukrainians can use our weapons,” he said.

Singh noted that Washington does not support attacks deep into Russia, however, the events in the Kursk region are “rather a crossfire.”

He added that the United States will continue to support Ukraine in ways that Kyiv needs.

As reported, on Tuesday the Russians announced an attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cross the border in the Kursk region. In Russian social networks they wrote about the “extraordinary border victory” of the Kursk region as a fait accompli. Public pro-government pages also report border skirmishes and attacks by UAVs and artillery. Eyewitnesses also captured on video Su-25s flying over the region, and a fuel tanker burning in the middle of the road.

Representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate did not comment on the situation in detail, but assured that it was “in no way related to the RDK.” Subsequently, the Ministry of Defense of Russia announced that the reserves of the group of Russian troops moved to the state border with Ukraine in the Kursk region. They also noted that Ukrainian troops in the amount of up to 300 people using 11 tanks and more than 20 armored vehicles attacked Russian units near the state border in the Kursk region.

It was later reported that the Russians had lost a helicopter and two tanks in the Kursk region. There is also information about the recruitment of Russian military personnel.
