Description

Scouts of the Russian Armed Forces described the situation in the country’s border region of Kursk amid ongoing Ukraine’s incursion into the territory.

Footage filmed on September 13 shows damaged houses and infrastructure in the Bolshoye Soldatskoye settlement.

"The enemy was stopped, our troops moved up as well as additional groups and FPV surveillance drones. And thanks to this joint work, we got better at stalling the enemy, flying much further into the territory the enemy occupied and disrupting their logistics, the supply of ammunition and such, hindering the enemy’s advance. Now we will adjust our forces and start to crush them," one of the servicemen said.

According to another serviceman, many volunteer groups are operating in the region.

"They drive very well, they help the locals. I know the volunteer formations of the Kursk region, I often meet with them. And that is why I am very grateful to such people, because they help the locals a lot. And the locals help us as well," he added.

Ukraine launched the offensive into Kursk on August 6. Putin called it a 'large-scale provocation', accusing Kiev of "firing indiscriminately using various types of weapons, including missiles, at civilian buildings, residential houses andambulances." Ukraine has previously denied targeting civilians during the ongoing conflict.

The Kursk region's acting government reported that 12 people had been killed and 121 wounded, including 10 children. A counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions on August 9, while more than 133,000 people have been evacuated from the Kursk border districts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as 'purely [a] security issue for Ukraine', with fighting ongoing.

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
