"The 3rd and 22nd Guards Brigades of special purpose were transferred to the Kursk region to prevent the cross-border activities of Ukrainian guerrillas, the transboundary provocations and raising the fighting spirit of the Russian troops," the statement reads. The ISW evaluates the actions of the General Staff of the Russian Federation as an attempt to consolidate part of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the border regions and scatter them from critical frontal areas.
Previously the aforementioned special units of the Russian Federation were recorded in the Kreminna area in Luhansk region and in the area of Orikhov in Zaporozhye. "It is unclear why the Russian leadership could make the decision to remove such elements from the active sectors of the front line to the Russian rear, and it is possible that these units have suffered previous losses during the latest operations and were withdrawn and relocated to rest and restore the forces.
Border areas are unlikely to have the desired information or operational effect, " - the conclusion of the Institute's analytics concluded. It should be reminded that the Armed Forces counterattack in the Bakhmut direction probably eliminated the threat of the Ukrainian forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in this area of the front.
