The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue their operation in the Kursk region. Ukrainian troops have probably crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border near the village of Tyotkino.

This was reported by Channel 24 with reference to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

What is known about the fighting in Kursk?

Geolocation footage shows Russian forces carrying out airstrikes on a building in the southern part of Tyotkino. This could mean that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have taken control of positions in the settlement.

Russian military sources claim that Ukrainian troops have captured up to two streets in the southern part of Tyotkino. As of May 7, the enemy continued to claim that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were holding positions in the settlement.

Also, one of the military correspondents claimed that the Armed Forces had captured Novy Put, but another military blogger noted that the attacks were repelled. ISW did not observe geolocation footage confirming the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

By the way, the day before, Syrsky reported to Zelensky about the actions of the Defense Forces in the Kursk and Belgorod regions.
