The Russian military has dealt more blows to Ukrainian armed formations which recently infiltrated the region of Kursk in southwest Russia.
In its August 18 briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that the Sever Group of Forces had located and eliminated multiple Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups in forest belts near the settlements of Alekseyevskoye, Safonovka and Sheptukhovka.
Several attacks by Ukraine’s 22nd, 61st, and 115th mechanized brigades as well as the 82nd Air Assault Brigade were also repelled near the settlements of Komarovka, Olgovka, Russkoye and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye, according to the ministry, which noted that the Ukrainian losses amounted to one tank, five armored fighting vehicles, one engineering vehicle and more than 30 troops.
The ministry also said that air and artillery strikes hit Ukrainian gatherings close to the settlements of Borki, Fanaseyevka, Cherkasskaya Konopelka, Novoivanovka, Mikhailovka, Snagost and to the south of Kurilovka.
It added that an American-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) of Kiev forces was destroyed by a missile strike near the settlement of Bezdrik in the Ukrainian region of Sumy, which neighbors Kursk.
Other strikes on Sumy hit Ukrainian reserves, ammunition and fuel depots of the 22nd Mechanised Brigade, 80th Air Assault Brigade, 103rd, and 107th territorial defense brigades near the settlements of Atinskoye, Belopolye, Vorozhba, Kiyanitsa, Kositsa and Shalgino, according to the ministry.
“Over the past 24 hours, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses have amounted to more than 300 Ukrainian troops and 27 units of hardware, including six tanks, one infantry fighting vehicle, two armored personnel carriers, 18 armored fighting vehicles, four motor vehicles, one MLRS launcher, and two units of engineering vehicles, including one obstacle-clearing vehicle,” the ministry said.
“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses have amounted to 3,460 Ukrainian troops, 50 tanks, 25 infantry fighting vehicles, 45 armored personnel carriers, 262 armored fighting vehicles, 115 motor vehicles, five SAM [surface-to-air missile] launchers, seven MLRS launchers, including three HIMARS and one M270 MLRS, 25 field artillery guns, four electronic warfare stations, four units of engineering vehicles, including one obstacle-clearing vehicle and one UR-77 mine-clearing vehicle,” it concluded.
In addition, the ministry released videos showing recent artillery strikes on Ukrainian gatherings and an attack with a Lancet loitering munition against an armored personnel carrier in Kursk.
Kiev forces launched their surprise attack in Kursk on August 6, relying mainly on foreign mercenaries and Western-made weapons.
The Ukrainian attack claimed the lives of 12 Russian civilians and left more than 120 others wounded. The fate of an additional 2,000 remains unknown. The attack also displaced more than 120,000 civilians in Kursk alone.
The Russian military halted the advance of Kiev forces in the very first days of the attack and is now working to eliminate the infiltrators.

the 10,000 nazis who participated in operation citadel 2.0 have already been killed, wounded or captured summing up the failure of the ukrainian nazis is coming. the best thing would be for the russian army to evacuate more citizens from settlements for the nazis to advance and be killed following the example of the german army in stalingrad
u are an idiot,thx for sharing ur flathead talk.
nafomosexual cosplay boy weighs in again from his mom’s tablet.
so clyde,do u truely believe the 10k kia,wia mia number stated by ur fellow flathead soldestka horde dawarish?
no reason to believe or disbelieve. do you have alternate? if so, what are they and what’s the source?
the krauts deserve a fire throughout deutschland. they forgot the carpet bombings of hamburg, munich, etc. and who conducted them. too carried away with rear-wheel drive. into the furnace.
lol u stupid rashnik flathead subhuman assclown soldestka horde scum…..ur kind is just good at looting,raping
you have a fat ass. twerking for lloyd austin?
cry me a river sigfer germany
i would not recommend to do it like the battles around stalingrad because the axis forces and russia together lost around 1,5 mln soldiers there. operation zitadelle would have been the end of the wehrmacht if they did not retreat, because the red army kept 1 mln soldiers in reserve behind the defense lines just in case. kursk invasion currently will be the end of afu and nato.
not all, but ~3000. nazis are loosing ~2000 every day in all directions, not just one. this is not even close to 1942-43, that’s why huholds are rural nazis — insane copy of the 3rd reich with judeo-banderite, “subhuman” clown instead mad adolf. though adolf was also crazy sectarian with buddhist swastika and “arian” concept. descendants of arians are living in north of india and iran, their language derives from sanscrit — language of arians. germano-scandinavians are not arians.
“kiev forces launched their surprise attack in kursk on august 6, relying mainly on foreign mercenaries and western-made weapons.”
in fact, it is impossible for zelensky to have moved troops from the southern front (in great difficulty).
excellent read “escobar: so what really happened in kursk?”… and we’re certainly hoping that this was not deliberate given the attacks on russian infrastructure that haven’t ceased for months starting with nordstream and now commercial nuclear power facilities.
i also can’t visualize anyone setting up a “trap” that involves irreplaceable soldiers from elsewhere that have been killed and captured in this as well. or for that matter russia maintaining it’s “golden handcuffs” at the un table that includes not on;y the murder of it’s foreign service personnel over the past decade alone, but also theft of it’s assets in foreign banks!
‘r. f. will eventually solve the kursk drama. yet very sensitive questions […] simply won’t vanish. heads will have to […] roll. because this is just the beginning. ‘
p escbr (thealtworld)
supporting r. f. isn’t turning a blind eye to its failings. nto’s ukrapuppet leaders squandering lives and murdering r.f. civilians to soften up r.f’s border is serious. p.esc reckons belgorod next, but it could be any ‘pr target’.
zelensky and the ukro-nazi-s must believe they are something more than nato meat for the russian grinder.
the attack shouldn’t have happened. the cost of expenditure vs achievement with such expenditure? showing videos of artillery loading and fired, is not of any value.
that was nato attack as ukraine no longer exists.
ukrainian forces have captured commander of russian 810th brigade and forced that brigade to retreat.
russian military is in poor shape while all red lines are there in putler’s arsehole.
how have the armed forces of the failed ukrainian cia project done since the 2014 us coup in kiev?
you think are such a funny little pufta arnt you,too bad assflogg!
urrainian army have cut off russian supply lines in kursk are and captured now 1500 km2 area.
how are things going on the donbas line of contact for the ukrainians?
minus two zeros silly little butthurt satanic,silly little lieing scumfest with your tranny degenerates,pfft!
those almost 2,000 russian soldiers who have surrendered to afu said they did it to avoid being killed by chechens.
chenchens are used to intimidate russian soldiers who want to surrender. chenchens are new nkvd.
you are a low iq pufta,all yourv rescues are down and out and the muslims will destroy you fknuts!
=z=
source for that claim?
those satanic pufs have one thing in common,they never ever fkn well could (period) frgn seppos!
you are one serious low iq woke dumbassed degenerate lieing sic gai fk indeed,you lowlife loser bum!
no one buys your pathedic comments,get off those filthy synthetic drugs,they will kill you methhead!
russian military has become public joke. 3 days war is putin’s great military blunder.
war started in 2014 after the us coup in kiev. at least that’s what five eyes media and politicians stated. how have the ukrainians fared these last ten years?
good,just simple answer for simpleton offspring of a self confesed problematic mom
poor nafomosexual cosplay boys can never provide any kind of answer. what kind of losses have the ukrainians suffered since the start of the teror operation in kursk two weeks ago? simple stuff.
give it up gimp,nothing more pathedic than you quad vaxxed lieing soros seppos,russia stocks urrp!
ukraine troops extending into russian territory thins out their forces as the front line extends and creates more difficulty in supplying those troops. russia defeated napoleon and hitler by making tactical retreats for this purpose, ukraine will be the same. whilethe ukraine advance into russia means they are in enemy territory, russian advances in ukraine are into friendly territory meaning their supply lines are safe.
exactly and the russian supply lines to the eastern front are shorter. the ukronazis have to travel a long way from western cokeraine to the fight only to get their asses kicked by a far more professional russian army
“the russian military halted the advance of kiev forces in the very first days of the attack and is now working to eliminate the infiltrators.” really? with the straight face? as much as it hurts me, this whole attack of ua, they have been advancing every day, probably even today. at day 7 we were told “up to a 1000 ua soldiers”, now it is 10k? where and when will this end?
oh hiw are you andrija artukovitch?
and while the deluded cocaine sniffing jew in kiev is wasting some competent troops in a futile attempt to cause havoc on the russian side, the russians are at it in donetsk and making progress every day, one village here one field there but accumulated the advances make up some serious areas, soon threatening the entire ukraine.
kpyto kot kupaц.
this clown war is a real joke. just a bunch of globalists test their war making equipment while killing off as many people as they can, and keeping people distracted from the really big war coming in the middle east…!!!
part 1: this reminds me of zelensky following his hero hitler in the battle of the bulge. as ww2 was coming to and end hitler ‘s plan to push the allies back to normandy. as the soviet union was pushing the german army back on the eastern front russia is doing that on ukraine’s eastern front. zelensky decided that kursk would be his great battle, with him using his reserve for one big battle and like ww2 the allies had all the advantages with air, artillery and manpower like the russians.
part 2: they say russia is pulling men from the front but they are not, they are pulling men for there vdv (airborne), spetnaz, chechen, wagner and from kalingrad area.russia knew that zelensky wanted to take kursk nuke plant and that is where they put their best defense and stopped afu. so the afu is hitting the weaker areas but are not moving as fast as before.
part 3: like the bulge the allies moved more and more forces into the area like russia is doing and we will see the afu stopped and then pushed back. right now russia is destroying afu armor, artillery, equipment and men in large numbers and there is no reserve to replace it. it will take a while like the bulge but in the end russia will triumph!
