The Russian army is moving units, in particular, from the Prydniprovskyi direction to the Kursk direction, according to the spokesperson for the Tavria operational group, Dmytro Lykhovii.
"There have been movements of enemy units, including battalions and other parts, from the Prydniprovskyi direction and not just from there to other directions, clearly including Kursk, where the Russians currently have the most gaps in their defenses," said Lykhovii.
He also noted that when there were many Russian troops in the Prydniprovskyi direction, there were fewer assault operations. However, after Russia began redeploying its forces, including to the Kursk direction, activity on the left bank of the Dnipro sharply increased.
"I think it will take a few days to understand whether this is Russian demonstrative actions - where they want to appear capable of continuing attacks despite reducing their defensive positions - or if it’s possibly some other plan," added the spokesperson.
Fighting in the Kursk region
Fighting began in the Kursk region last week. Russia claimed that Ukrainian forces allegedly breached the border.
Ukraine officially confirmed the operation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region only today. This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following the meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
According to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, about one thousand square kilometers of the Kursk region are under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Meanwhile, according to DeepState, the Russian army has lost control of approximately 44 settlements.
