The information about the alleged ‘encirclement’ of Ukrainian units in the Kursk region is false. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the General Staff, there have been no significant changes in the situation overnight, and combat operations in the area of responsibility of the Kursk military grouping continue.
‘The units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces have regrouped, moved to more favourable defensive positions and are performing their assigned tasks in the Kursk region. Our soldiers are repelling the enemy’s offensive and inflicting effective fire damage from all types of weapons,’ the military said.
Since the beginning of the day, 13 combat engagements have been registered in this sector. The General Staff emphasises that there is no threat of encirclement of Ukrainian units.
