Ukraine Took Control of Another Village – Vnezapnoe in Russia

According to Censor.NET, this was reported byanalysts of the DeepState project.

They also noted that the Russian invaders had advanced near Pishchane and in Krasnohorivka in Donetsk region.

As a reminder, on 13 August, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine controls 74 settlements in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. Russia’s regions of Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod share a 720-mile border with Ukraine. That includes a 152-mile section in the Kursk region. This frontier had only symbolic protection before Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022

The incursion already has boosted Ukraine’s morale and proven its ability to seize initiative and take the war to Russian soil\, CBS experts believe. Kyiv hasn’t explained what the goal of the incursion is, but Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he’s considering setting up military offices in the Kursk region to help coordinate military and humanitarian efforts there.

121,000 people have fled the Kursk region since the start of the fighting, which has killed at least 12 civilians and injured 121 more, regional governor Alexei Smirnov told the meeting.

The Ukrainian attack comes after months of slow but steady advances by Russian forces in the east that has forced Ukraine’s troops on to the back foot as they try to withstand Russia’s heavy use of gliding bombs and assault troops.

Ukraine said on Tuesday that it has no interest in taking over territory in Russia’s border region of Kursk, where Kyiv launched an incursion last week causing mass evacuations in multiple border regions.

“I’d like to emphasize that, unlike Russia, Ukraine doesn’t need something that belongs to someone else. Ukraine has no interest in taking over the territory of Kursk region, but we do want to protect the lives of our people,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi told a press conference in Kyiv.

Claiming that Russia has launched over 2,000 strikes from Kursk toward Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region since early summer, Tykhyi said Kyiv does not have sufficient capabilities to launch long-range strikes to protect itself from such strikes.

Russia’s response to the Kursk operation has been extremely slow. Part of that may be because its military apparatus is extremely hierarchical — which can delay rapid action as decisions work their way up the chain — and because it has gone through major destabilizing changes of late, VOX analytics said. Crucially, its forces are also tied up in Ukraine’s east, where they have been making gains in recent months.
