The operation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Kursk region of Russia disrupted the enemy offensive in the Zaporizhia region, the goal of which the Russians wanted to see as the capture of Zaporizhia. In addition, because of this, the aggressor had to change its plans regarding the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
OBOZ.UA was told about this by sources in the General Staff of the Armed Forces. Our interlocutor explained: in order to counteract the Ukrainian soldiers, the Russians had to transfer their most combat-ready units from the southern front line to Kursk region.
The occupiers planned to increase pressure on Zaporozhye and advance, but the offensive had to be called off. The actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region of Russia forced the enemy to reshuffle its forces.
At the beginning of the Ukrainian operation in Kursk region, our defenders were confronted by 40 thousand Russian militants. As of November, the group had grown to 59 thousand, and the Russian command plans to increase it to 60 thousand.
Among those operating in this territory are the 155th Marine Brigade of the Russian Pacific Fleet, known for its atrocities against Ukrainian prisoners of war. There are also servicemen from North Korea (around 11,000).
Our publication’s sources also reported that the maximum area of territories that the Defense Forces controlled during the Kursk operation exceeded 1,300 square kilometers. Currently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces control about 800 square kilometers.

– The Defense Forces struck military targets in the Kursk region, presumably with Storm Shadow missiles. The target of the missile strike was probably the aggressor’s underground command post in the village of Maryino.
Basically, mafia land hasn’t enough cannon fodder to attack on more than one front at a time.
And when they do attack, they send in the meat, preserving the few vehicles they have left.
Bad weather has hit Ukraine, so I expect the tempo will slow down. It appears it’s already happening, yesterday the orcs only lost a 1000 on the battlefield.
Yes, I saw this earlier. A thousand and fifty orcs is not much. It’s not enough. More must die.
