Ukrainian forces repelled the attack in the Kursk region, military report on losses of the Russian army

Anastasia Blyshchyk, spokeswoman for the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reported.

“The situation is difficult but under control and there is no critical situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Yesterday was a truly dark day for the Russian invaders, who attempted 5-6 attacks, that is, they tried to enter with troops and raid settlements. However, 10 armored vehicles were neutralized by soldiers of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade. In particular, 3 armored personnel carriers were destroyed by mines, while other vehicles were destroyed by FPV drones and Stugna ATGMs. Additional armored vehicles were neutralized by neighboring brigades with which we currently operate in the same sector. Russian invaders were also eliminated. Those lucky enough to survive dispersed and hid in the surrounding forest area. “So yesterday the Russian invaders attempted an attack but failed,” he said.

Blyshchyk confirmed that the invaders had shot Ukrainian prisoners of war to death, thus once again demonstrating a blatant disregard for the Geneva Convention. He also stated that Ukrainian defenders received information from one of the prisoners regarding the identities of the invaders responsible for torturing and executing Ukrainian soldiers.

“Recently, soldiers of the 47th Brigade captured a Russian soldier from the 155th Brigade, who, according to him, witnessed the torture, shooting and posthumous beheading of Ukrainian prisoners. Then he told us everything; the names of those who gave the order and those responsible for this war crime. “I am sure that the day will come when we will hold these Russian criminals accountable,” Blyshchyk emphasized.

When asked about the deployment of North Korean troops in the Kursk region, he stated that no troops from North Korea were observed in the area of ​​responsibility of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade and related brigades.

He also stated that it was not possible for the enemy to deploy 50,000 North Korean soldiers at the same time.

“There is a lot of controversy about Russia’s significant offensive in the Kursk direction. However, it is important to understand that while the Ukrainian Armed Forces are on the defensive, there is a significant opportunity to neutralize as many Russian invaders as possible. “If we are on the defensive now, this is the best time to neutralize 50,000 people,” the spokesman said.

When asked about the attitude of civilians in the Kursk region towards the Ukrainian military, Blyshchyk said: “They were understandably wary initially, as they had been exposed to a long and widespread narrative on television that portrayed us in a negative light, allegedly torturing and killing us. But they saw with their own eyes that no one was doing them any harm.” “They are being provided with assistance, including water, food and medicine. However, it is important to remember that they are Russians and therefore need a certain amount of attention and distance.”

As Ukrinform reported the previous day, soldiers from the 95th separate air assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Polissia destroyed 28 pieces of enemy equipment and eliminated more than 100 invaders in the Kursk region of Russia within two days of the attacks.
