Oleksandr Syrsky noted that in May, Ukrainian intelligence received confirmation of the enemy's plan on the offensive in the Sumy direction to create a "buffer zone" in the north of the country. That is why, the military stressed, it was decided to move the fighting to the enemy territory in the Kursk region of Russia. As of November 5, the loss of the enemy in the Kursk direction in personnel is 20842 people, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces said.
Of these, 7905 people were eliminated, wounded 12220, and 717 soldiers were captured, Syrsky said. Over the same period, 1101 units of weapons and military equipment of the enemy, namely 54 tanks, 276 combat armored vehicles, 107 guns and mortars, 5 RSZV and 659 units of automotive equipment were destroyed. Russia strives for Ukrainian troops to leave the Kursk region, focusing there about 45,000 soldiers there, including involving the military from North Korea, Alexander Sirsky said.
At the same time, the People's Deputy Marian Bezugla believes that the General made an "eyeliner" before the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Kursk. "Only he did not say how many territories in the Donetsk region and Kharkiv region were" exchanged "to the Russians during this time and how many Ukrainian citizens were killed," she wrote. We will remind, units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the south approach to the city of Kurakhovo in Donetsk region.
