Moscow, for its part, claims that it repelled the Ukrainian army in 3 communities
The Ukrainian army is “reinforcing” its positions in the Kursk region, President Volodymyr Zelensky said today, more than ten days after the start of a large-scale offensive on Russian soil.
“General (Olexandr) Sirsky reported strengthening the positions of our forces in the Kursk region and expanding the stabilized area,” Zelensky said on Telegram after a meeting with the head of the Ukrainian army.
For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry said today that it had “pushed back” the Ukrainian army near three communities in the Kursk region.
Russian soldiers “repelled” Ukrainian “attacks” “in the direction of the communities of Korenevo, Ruskoye and Cherkaskoye Poretnoye,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement
Besides, the Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of planning to attack the Kursk nuclear power plant and blamed Moscow for this “provocation”, as reported by the Interfax news agency.
The ministry said Russia would respond harshly to such an attack, which it said would contaminate a large area around the station.
Ukraine invaded Russia’s western Kursk region on August 6 and claims to have taken control of 82 settlements in an area of ​​1,150 square kilometers since then.
However, the Kursk nuclear power plant remains under Russian control.
