Putin Says Russia Maintains Momentum in Donbass Despite Ukraine's Kursk Incursion

ai generated text

The situation in the Donbas region and the Kursk region is complex and dynamic. Russian forces are advancing towards the town of Pokrovsk, with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (FAFR) making daily gains of 500 meters to 1 kilometer on several axes. This has led to problems in the organization of the Ukrainian defense. In contrast, Ukrainian forces have been making gains in the Kursk region, pushing into Russian territory and advancing up to 2 kilometers in some areas.

    1. Our armed forces have stabilised the situation [in Kursk] and started gradually squeezing [the enemy] out from our territory.
    2. It did not come into force only because they were given a command not to do so, because the elites of the United States, Europe – some European countries – wanted to achieve a strategic defeat of Russia.
    3. We have to deal with these thugs who made it into Russia.
    4. It can be assumed that the [Russian] enemy will reach the city [Pokrovsk] by mid-September, but they will not be able to capture it. The open terrain, which is unfavorable for an offensive, and potential counterattacks from Selydove [to the south] and Kostiantynivka [to the east] areas will slow their advance.

    1. The Biden administration is obviously getting ready for more concessions to Zelensky in giving [Zelenskyy] free rein to use almost any US weapons, including for strikes inside Russia.

    Sergei Lavrov
    Russian Foreign Ministry
    1. Zelenskyy said… that they will need this for future exchanges. That's why they are taking prisoners and want to seize square kilometers.
    2. It's so simple-minded and naive. We do not discuss our territory with anyone. We do not negotiate about our territory.

    1. This is the third ballistic missile attack on the capital in August with a clear interval of six days between each attack.

    Oleksandr Syrskyi
    Ukrainian Armed Forces
    1. Of course, everyone wants the level of training to be the best, so we train highly qualified professional military personnel.
    2. We cannot fight in the same way as they do, so we must use, first of all, the most effective approach, use our forces and means with maximum use of terrain features, engineering structures and also, to use technical superiority.
    3. Together we are stronger. Together we can win.

    1. Russian operations are now solely concentrated in the Pokrovsk region.

    1. By focusing on Donbas, Russia is making clear that it is not willing to make a lot of concessions in exchange for Kursk.
  8. GB

    1. And now it's only Pokrovsk, while some troops elsewhere are being redeployed to Kursk.
