92nd Assault Brigade Commander: Kursk operation enhances Kharkiv defense
In Kharkiv Oblast, Russian assaults have declined since the start of Ukraine's offensive in Russia's Kursk Oblast, Lex, commander of the Achilles 92 attack drone battalion, told Bild on Sept. 19.
A Ukrainian military officer said that since the start of their offensive in Kursk, Russian attacks in Kharkiv Oblast have decreased, with only one major assault in the past three weeks.
The 92nd OShBr drone operators recently destroyed 10 of 11 Russian tanks attempting to attack Ukrainian forces in Kharkiv. In one day, UAVs eliminated a Russian soldier, a military UAZ-2206, and several antennas and shelters, Bild reports.
"I used to be an infantryman, so I understand the situation from their perspective. It’s unfortunate, but they need to leave our country to avoid being targeted," Lex said.
Offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kursk Oblast
On Aug. 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed for the first time that Ukrainian forces had launched an operation in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
He said the operation, which began on Aug. 6, aimed to drive Russian troops from the border areas of Ukraine that were regularly shelling Sumy Oblast.
On Aug. 27, Zelenskyy clarified that Ukraine was not occupying Kursk Oblast.
By Sept. 2, he reported that the operation was proceeding as planned, with Ukrainian forces controlling 1,300 square kilometers and over 100 settlements in Kursk Oblast.
On Sept. 11, the DeepState analytical portal noted that Russian troops had initiated active assaults and were attacking Ukrainian positions from multiple directions.
By Sept. 12, Ukrainian forces, supported by drones and tanks, had breached a new section of the Russian border west of their controlled territories.
On Sept. 18, military spokesperson Oleksiy Dmytrashkovskyi announced that the Russian counteroffensive had been halted.
