Pavlo Narozhnyi, founder of the Reactive Post organization and a military expert, told Radio NV about increased Defense Forces activity in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.

Military expert Pavlo Narozhnyi told Radio NV that updates from Russia’s Kursk region are limited, with unofficial sources like DeepState often delayed by two to three days. He predicted significant news from Obast within a week.

Narozhnyi said the Defense Forces’ actions are likely aimed at distracting Russian troops, forcing them to shift forces from other areas, such as Kupyansk, to counter Ukraine’s offensive in Kursk Oblast.

He described the operation as a key success, saying it demonstrates Ukraine’s strength and ability to conduct bold maneuvers. He noted that 50,000-60,000 Russian personnel are now tied down in Kursk, reducing their presence in critical areas like Pokrovsk.

Ukraine’s new offensive in parts of Kursk Oblast was initially reported by Russian sources and later confirmed by Andrii Kovalenko, head of the National Security and Defense Council’s Center for Countering Disinformation.

Andrii Yermak, head of Ukraine’s presidential office, also hinted at the offensive, posting, “Kursk, good news, Russia is getting what it deserves.”

  1. This might be as the military expert claims, but it might be that the AFU is seeking another goal.
    Be it as it may, this; “He described the operation as a key success, saying it demonstrates Ukraine’s strength and ability to conduct bold maneuvers,” is very true. Never underestimate Ukraine’s ability and ingenuity.

  2. “He noted that 50,000-60,000 Russian personnel are now tied down in Kursk, reducing their presence in critical areas like Pokrovsk.”

    This 50 or 60,000 orcs have been whittled down somewhat. I think a new evaluation is needed on the strength of the orcs in the area.

    • It would also be interesting to know how many bicycles and electric scooters those roaches have available for their meat assaults.

        • What happens when a gas station masquerading as a country runs out of gas?……….

          Moskovia’s value to the world is approaching zero. Worse for them yet, Ukraine will be in a position to replace practically everything useful in Moskovia.

          Its time to make ruSSia small again.

          • If the people across mafia land weren’t such pathetic worms, they would’ve already tossed off the ruskie yoke, making the shithole a fraction of the size.
