"Stroke": The French Defense Ministry told about the successes of the Armed Forces in the Kursk Oblast (map)

The department stated that the forces of Ukraine's defense had taken advantage of the effect of surprise. In addition, the Russian forces were less prepared there than in the Donbass and Kharkiv region. The offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region of Russia has some success. This was reported at the French Ministry of Defense on the social network X (previously Twitter). It is noted that the defense forces took advantage of the effect of surprise.

In addition, the Russian forces were less prepared there than in eastern Ukraine. "This attack can force the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to transfer troops from other sectors, thus weakening the pressure at the places where the Armed Forces have previously been difficult," - the message reads. The French Ministry of Defense stated that deep blows continue on both sides, the Armed Forces continue to strike Russian airports and energy infrastructure.

A map was also published, which showed the situation on the front. We will remind, the head of the Ryl district of Kursk region Andriy Belousov declared evacuation, but then took his words back. He published a message with information about voluntary evacuation from the Rila district, but later removed it. Bloomberg also reported that Russian intelligence knew about the preparation of the offensive in the Kursk region, but Vladimir Putin was not reported.
