The Sever Group of forces also repelled two counter-attacks by Kiev forces near the settlements of Lyubimovka, Olgovka and Plekhovo, according to the ministry, which said that some 30 Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded.
In addition, the ministry announced that five Ukrainian attempts to break through the Russian border near the settlement of Novy Put were foiled.

my grampa pimped ramses in mulastto gay bar 47 years ago—now ramses need diapers
still fighting on russian territory in kursk.. my goodness it should have been done weeks ago..! will someone please wake up putin..?
that’s what i thought. a single apache helicopter would have taken all those vehicles out in five seconds. in russia you can drive around and even when hit all the soldiers can get out and then russian soldiers have to die hunting them down. what a joke. two months later and these guys are still driving around kursk. someone needs to wake putin up.
single “apache” would be destroyed in minutes, you’re delusional.
you’re thinking of operations against opponents that are not armed and supplied with electronic intelligence by the largest empire in history, which are different from russian operations against the failed ukrainian cia project that enjoys a significant supply of aa missiles and us intelligence.
you know nothing john snow
he should listen to all the people telling him he is a dipsh it and then at least he would be better informed.
the us lost 60,000 over 20 years in vietnam, ukraine has lost 20,000 in a month in kursk alone… stick to the video games… that way you can be a winner…
zombie orchs, nobody counting, but more then 3 millions so far. we can rid of 30 million more, nobody cares.
time to liberate the whole russia
ramses anuz liberated by many taliban peniz
russia should be careful, the exceptionals are preparing something dirty. after ukraine fails they will throw them under the bus and pretend nothing happen and still waging cover wars around the world to improve their power position in their colonies and enslaved goverments. russia should analyze the long term and not convert too many citizens into soldiers because now it’s economic war of attrition and russia contention and russia avoidance.
two decades of a covert war i can see in the future, but the “head of the snake” and the exceptionals and the masters of the empire cannot win, the gods should bless the persians and all who oposses the empire to take them back to hell were they belongs and their fake light religions with them.
uh oh. if i were zelensky, i’d get out of dodge now.
