Sirsky’s direct speech: “Today we have taken control of 1,294 square kilometers of territory – that’s 100 settlements… We have also significantly replenished the exchange fund: to date, 594 servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces have been captured in this direction.”
Details: He recalled that one of the tasks of the Kursk operation was the diversion of significant Russian forces from other directions – in particular, from Pokrovsky and Kurakhivskyi.
“At the moment, we can state that about 30,000 servicemen of the Russian Federation have already been transferred to the Kursk direction, and this number is growing,” the head of the commission said.
He emphasized that the Russians are trying to remove parts from other directions, but on the contrary, they are increasing their efforts in the Pokrovsky direction.
