Russia is losing its army. The Kremlin regime hides the losses of its occupying forces, and the casualties among mercenaries and other paramilitary formations remain unknown.

In the Kursk region, SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) fighters managed to capture 102 Russian servicemen at once. This is the largest single capture of Russians in the conflict. Among the prisoners were soldiers from Kadyrov's Akhmat unit.

According to media reports, to replenish its manpower, Russia deployed the so-called space brigade of the Russian Aerospace Forces to the Kursk region, integrating them into a motorized rifle unit.
