River of blood in Kursk: Ukrainian invasion force decimated - Over 2,000 dead - "There will be no mercy" Moscow declares
Russians: "American generals planned the operation of the Ukrainians"
The cordon tightens around the Ukrainian invasion force as the Russian Army's Air Force, artillery and drones destroy more than 220 armored vehicles with Kiev's casualties now exceeding 2,000 men.
The situation begins to stabilize gradually with Russian forces attempting to cut off and encircle the Ukrainian invasion force.
The upper hand, slowly and steadily, appears to be being gained by Russian forces in the areas invaded last week by Ukrainian and Western well-trained commandos.
" There is no stable front line in the Kursk region: the enemy is trying to gain territory in some areas, but the Ukrainian troops have been successfully blocked ," an official close to the governor of the Russian Kursk province announced.
And he added:
"The situation remains difficult but controlled and manageable. Individual groups of enemy troops are destroyed and fighting continues in several areas."
Ukraine has lost up to 420 soldiers and 55 armored vehicles in the past 24 hours in the Kursk region, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
The Russian Ministry of Defense added that Ukraine's total losses in that area amounted to 2,030 soldiers, 35 tanks, more than 220 other armored vehicles and four air defense systems.
Earlier today the Commander of the special forces of the "Akhmat" unit, Apty Alaudinov, announced that most of the first echelon of Ukrainian troops and resources that entered the Kursk province of Russia last week have been destroyed and the situation has been brought under control.
The Russian military confirmed that it had thwarted "infiltration attempts by ... mobile armored units" of the enemy near the communities of Tolpino, Zhuravli and Obchichi Kolodez, which are located 30 kilometers from Ukraine.
According to this source, these advances have been halted, in the last 24 hours, by air force, drone and artillery strikes and the deployment of reservists of the "North" group, which has been deployed in the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv.
In addition, the Russian military reported striking Ukrainian troops with missiles and artillery near the communities of Sunja, Korenevo, Staragia Sorochitsa and Borki, as well as preventing an infiltration into the Belovsky district further east.
"The operation was planned by American Generals"
At the same time, Russian local officials and analysts directly denounce the USA for the involvement they - according to them - had in the invasion of the Ukrainian forces.
"It is an operation planned and prepared by American Generals. The number of foreign commandos participating in the operation is large."
Moreover, as the Ukrainian prisoners of war themselves now openly admit, British, Polish and French mercenaries are participating in the invasion of Russian Kursk.
Chechen commander: Battle of Kursk will lead Ukraine to collapse
The fight in Russia's Kursk region is a "decisive battle" that will ultimately lead to the collapse of Kiev, claimed Major General Apty Alaudinov, the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from the Russian Republic of Chechnya.
In a video posted on his Telegram channel on Saturday, Alaudinov, who was appointed deputy head of the Main Military Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces in April 2024, said it was "inconceivable" that Russia could be defeated in the field of battle.
The comments were made in connection with Ukraine's incursion into the border region of Kursk, the biggest attack on Russian soil since the conflict between the neighboring states broke out in February 2022.
"I see no reason to doubt, to believe that we could lose even this battle," he said, appealing for more people to join the army.
“I urge you all to make a decision in this decisive battle. Because after this battle, Ukraine will fall, as will NATO, Europe, the USA and all those who support Ukraine", he noted and added that Americans, Poles, English and French have been perceived to be fighting for Kiev.
“You have no place… on our land, and we will do anything to keep you out. Russia is more united than ever. We are a force that no one can stop" , he underlined
In the latest development, a missile strike destroyed a Ukrainian command and control center in Russia's Kursk region, the defense ministry in Moscow claimed!
Specifically, in a statement, the ministry said that an Iskander-M short-range ballistic missile system struck command posts of the 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine, near the border between the two states.
"As a result, the commanding staff of the... brigade, 15 people in total, was exterminated," the statement said, adding that "there will be no mercy."
