Russians had to transfer units from Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions to protect Kursk Oblast

The russian military command has ordered the transfer of units from the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions for the defense of the Kursk Oblast.

Politico writes about it.

"Russia has relocated some of its units from both Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine’s south," Dmytro Lykhovii, spokesman for the Tavria operational-strategic group of troops, told the newspaper.

At the same time, journalists cannot say exactly how many soldiers were transferred across the border. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine admit that it was a "relatively small" number of units.

Despite military operations in the Kursk Oblast, the occupiers continue to advance on Pokrovsk in the Donetsk Region.

"Russians have accumulated a large number of personnel, in particular in the Zaporizhzhia region, and the number of units they are redeploying is relatively small. We must still understand whether it is a smokescreen activity," Lykhovii said.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Defense Forces of Ukraine control 74 settlements in the Kursk Oblast of the aggressor country russia. The advancement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues.

On August 12, the dictator vladimir putin was informed that during a week of fighting, the Armed Forces of Ukraine took control of almost 500 square kilometers of the territory of the Kursk Oblast.

On August 12, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed for the first time that the operation in the Kursk Oblast is being conducted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
