Russian forces recaptured from Ukraine the villages of Novaya Sorotsina and Pokrovsky in the Kursk region of western Russia, state news agency RIA reported, citing today’s announcement from the Russian Defense Ministry.
Reuters stresses that it is unable to independently confirm battlefield information.
Russian troops have been fighting to expel Ukrainian soldiers from the Kursk region since early August, when Kiev carried out a surprise incursion into Russian territory.
