Ukrainian military convoy stopped by Russian fire in Kursk region

The Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to break through the Russian defense line near the villages of Veseloe, Medvezhie and Novy Put in the Glushkovsky border district of the Kursk region.

During the offensive near Novy Put, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used German Leopard 2 tanks, Swedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicles and vehicles provided by NATO. With the support of engineering vehicles, the Ukrainian forces overcame the first line of Russian defense, which was the minefields. After the minefields were cleared, armored vehicles and infantry advanced.

However, this attack by Ukrainian forces was stopped by the Russian Air Force. Faced with precise attacks, the Ukrainian army suffered losses in both manpower and equipment.

Near the village of Veseloe, the attack by Ukrainian forces was captured by a Russian reconnaissance drone. Publicly available footage shows a convoy of Ukrainian forces moving along a road under fire from Russian drones and artillery. The incident occurred about 1 km from the border.

After nearly a week of efforts, the Ukrainian army has failed to gain a foothold on Russian territory and make any further advances. Stopped in the small villages of Navy Put, Veseloe and Medvezhie, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to gather forces under Russian fire to launch attacks on the Krasnooktyabrsky region in the west.
