“About 9 o’clock in the morning Moscow time (8 a.m. Lithuanian time), in order to stop the movement of Russian troops in the direction of Kursk, the enemy launched a counterattack,” the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
The ministry added that Ukraine used two tanks, a dozen armored vehicles and an extermination unit in the new attack, which targeted the village of Berdin.
“The operation to destroy Ukrainian military units continues,” she noted.
It is announced that on January 5 Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Yunus-Bek Yevkurov was sent to the Kursk region. This was announced by the deputy governor of the region, Alexander Chinstein.
Alarmed Russian bloggers explained that the Ukrainians had started marching in a northeasterly direction from Suja and were targeting the Bolshoi Soldatskoye district.
“The enemy includes minesweepers, tanks and other armored vehicles in the attack. The area of attack has been tightly covered by the enemy with means of electronic warfare, so many drones are useless,” noted Roman Alekhin on the Telegram channel.
The fact of the start of the attack was also confirmed by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrijus Yermak: “Kursk region, good news: Russia is getting what it deserves.”
Andriy Kovalenka, the head of Ukraine’s Anti-Disinformation Center, stated that the Russians have big concerns in the Kursk region because “they were attacked from several directions, which was unexpected for them.”
