The 43-year-old fighter 103 Ortro Ivan said that new mobilized were almost paralyzed due to fear, but the soldiers were moving together-10 kilometers a day. Every night the military changed the advanced units that hastily dug positions ahead. On the third night, the group was attacked by managed bombs. "Everything was burning. Hands here, legs there," the defender recalled. 12 of his brothers were killed, and Ivan himself suffered shrapnel wounds of the groin and chest.
The source in the Ukrainian Security Services reported that by August 10, some units advanced 40 kilometers deep into the Russian Federation. The attack was surprised by Moscow, the head of Sumy Ova Volodymyr Artyukh called him a "cold shower" for the enemy. "They feel what we have been felt for years since 2014. This is a historical event," he emphasized.
The 28-year-old paratrooper 33 Ombre Angol was also injured, his left hand was immobilized in the retainer, and tubes, bags and wires stick out from the body. He visited 30 kilometers from the border, after which he suffered from an artillery or bomb. The serviceman does not exclude "friendly fire". He remembers how he fell to the ground and shouted "300". According to Angola, Russian fighters ran, quickly leaving the equipment and ammunition.
The infantryman Nicholas said he was in the first group that entered the territory of Russia. He and his brothers attacked the enemy pilots as soon as they entered the first village. In the second village, the group came under the fire of helicopters. Nicholas remembered how he rushed and then heard the fall of the helicopter. The "bird" was knocked down by an anti -aircraft missile. The fighter broke when the edge falls, so he had to evacuate.
"We have sent our most capable units to the weakest point on their border. The soldiers of conscript service collided with paratroopers and just captured," - said the unnamed interlocutor from the General Staff of the Armed Forces. The media noted that all three soldiers who gave comments to the material were withdrawn without resting from the front in the east. Warriors were warned only in a day.
The publication assumed that the minimum purpose of the operation is to remove Russian troops from Kharkiv and Donetsk regions. Russia has transferred forces from the Kharkiv Front, but in the Donbass it is not in a hurry. "Their commanders are not idiots. They move their strength, but not as fast as we would like. They know that we cannot expand logistics 80 or 100 kilometers," the source in the General Staff explained.
Anonymous urged not to compare the breakthrough with a successful Kharkiv counter -offensive in 2022. He said that now the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are more serious about the war. "The danger is that we will be trapped, and Russia will wipe our teeth," the source added. The article states that the mathematics of the war has never played in favor of Ukraine because of limited resources, and attack deep into the aggressor country can make the situation worse.
However, surgery in the Kursk region already has one important positive result - it has increased the moral spirit that allowed Ukraine to deceive mathematics for years. Tired and exhausted fighters admit that they do not regret a risky breakthrough even despite the loss. "For the first time in a long time we have a movement. I felt a tiger," the wounded paratrooper Angol shared.
