Russian general speaks of 'disorganization' of Ukrainian army in Kursk
Complete disorganization has begun in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region.
According to TASS, Deputy Head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Commander of the Akhmat Special Forces, Major General Apty Alaudinov, said that the captured Ukrainian soldiers spoke of disorganization in the entire ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Many of them tried to leave the front in Russia.
“I want to talk about how the prisoners are complaining. They say that they are completely disorganized. The soldiers are trying to escape from Russian territory. Most of them have huge problems with food, water, supplies. In general, the situation in Kursk is quite good, the Russian army is fighting, systematically destroying the enemy,” General Alaudinov said.
General Alaudinov added that the Akhmat special forces fighters destroyed a number of enemy equipment. The Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Sudzha direction inflicted serious losses on the enemy over the past 24 hours.
Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces gained momentum in Kursk, retaking 10 settlements from Ukraine.
Speaking to CNN, 14 Ukrainian soldiers from five different units deployed to Kursk during the assault said the assault on Kursk was a difficult operation with a casualty rate on par with other areas of the front line.
They say it has become more difficult, five weeks on, and some even question the decision to launch the offensive, at a time when Ukraine is struggling to defend key towns and cities in Donbass.
