Ukrainian Defence Forces continue to advance in the Kursk region of Russia. Russian flags are falling to the ground, and Russian troops are surrendering, according to the 225th Separate Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"While the Russian leadership can not understand what is happening in the "primordial Russian lands," we confidently move on! The unit with Belarusians works: tricolors fall to the ground, Russians surrender, and "Akhmat" is just tea. Dictatorships will fall! And we are directly involved in this!," writes the 225th Separate Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The breakthrough of the Russian border took place on 6 August 2024. Over the next week, Ukrainian soldiers expanded their foothold and took control of Sudzha, along with dozens of other settlements.
