The total territory in the Kursk region of Russia, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have taken over, has expanded to 1,263 square kilometers, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, announced at the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities.
The commander-in-chief also demonstrated the corresponding map.
During the offensive in the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces advanced to a depth of enemy defense from 28 to 35 km, he said.
According to Syrsky, the enemy is conducting a maneuverable defense, trying to prevent further advancement of the Ukrainian Defense Forces deep into Russian territory, building up its forces and moving troops in other directions.
Further actions of our troops in this direction will depend on the development of the operational situation, the commander-in-chief noted.
Around August 14, the Ukrainian Armed Forces captured the city of Sudzha in the Kursk region of Russia. This regional center is the largest settlement that Ukraine has captured during the Kursk operation. Currently, the city is occupied by single civilian families with children and the bodies of dead Russians.
On August 19-20, it became known that the bridges across the Seim River in the strategically important and geographically isolated Glushkovsky District of the Kursk Region were attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as a result of which part of the district’s territory was effectively cut off.
Due to the destruction and critical damage to all three capital bridges across the Seim River in the Glushkovsky District of the Kursk Region, the Russian army is forced to urgently solve the problem of supplying the border cover group, which, according to Russian sources, may number 1,000 or more people.
