Ukrainian forces conduct stabilization operations in Kursk Oblast, Russia suffers significant losses
Ukrainian forces are conducting stabilization operations in Kursk Oblast, but have not yet managed to regain control over all territories lost during the Russian attack, according to a report by the DeepState monitoring project on Oct. 11.
The situation in Kursk Oblast remains complex but controlled.
"It was a difficult and tense night," the report said.
“The Defense Forces of Ukraine are indeed conducting stabilization operations, but they have not yet managed to regain control over all lost territories. The enemy suffered significant losses during their assault operations, making it difficult for them to consolidate their positions further.”
The project notes that the situation is particularly challenging for Ukrainian forces in Liubymivka.
DeepState earlier reported that Russian troops had pushed back the left flank of the Ukrainian Defense Forces' grouping in Kursk Oblast.
Ukrainian offensive in Russia’s Kursk Oblast
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed for the first time on Aug. 12 that the Ukrainian Defense Forces had launched an operation in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
He emphasized that the operation, which began on Aug. 6, aimed to liberate Ukrainian border areas from Russian forces that had been regularly shelling Sumy Oblast.
Zelenskyy stated on Aug. 27 that Ukraine does not intend to occupy Russia’s Kursk Oblast; the operation in the region only hinders the Russians' plans to create a buffer zone on Ukrainian territory.
The Ukrainian president reported on Sept. 2 that the operation in Kursk Oblast was proceeding according to plan and fulfilling its tasks. On Sept. 6, he noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine control 1,300 square kilometers in Kursk Oblast, where more than 100 settlements are located.
The DeepState monitoring group reported on Sept. 11 that Russian forces had launched an active assault in Kursk Oblast, attempting to attack Ukrainian forces from several directions.
Ukrainian forces, supported by drones and tanks, had breached a new section of the Russian border west of Ukrainian-controlled territory by Sept. 12. On Sept. 18, military commandant Oleksiy Dmytrashkovskyi confirmed that the Russian counteroffensive had been halted.
Russian large-scale offensive in Kursk Oblast ended in failure, the German tabloid Bild reported on Sept. 27.
