People are fleeing the Kursk region of Russia. They say that Russian troops cannot protect them in the face of Ukrainian attacks. From August 6, Ukraine started attacking the Kursk region inside Russia. Last Friday, the Ukrainian army destroyed two important bridges in Kursk. The Russian Foreign Ministry alleged that the Ukrainian forces used Western missiles to destroy the bridge.

Russia alleges that the bridge over the Sim River was destroyed using US-made Himmers. Some volunteers who worked to evacuate civilians were killed in the attack.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Western rocket launchers were used in Kursk for the first time. Maybe it’s a US made Himmers. A bridge over the Sim river in Gluskovo district was destroyed in the attack. However, it is not known how many people were killed in this attack last Friday. US-made Himmers rocket can be launched from a distance of 80 km.

Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that in some areas of Kursk, Ukrainian troops advanced one to three kilometers. Ukrainian forces have been attacking inside Russia for 11 days. They have claimed to take control of 1 thousand 150 square kilometers area and 82 military installations of Russia from August 6.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that yesterday the Russian troops prevented several Ukrainian attacks. However, no area has been announced to be liberated.

Russia accuses Ukraine of wanting to seize Kursk nuclear power plant. In this case, they are supported by the West; But such an attack cannot change the course of the war.

The United States has said that it will not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched an attack on Ukraine in February 2022, to win this war. Russian forces failed to launch a counterattack in the Kursk region. This is the largest attack inside Russia since World War II. Ukraine has taken control of the town of Sudza, 10 kilometers from the Russian border.

Ukraine’s attack on Russia has derailed plans for indirect talks in Qatar to end attacks on energy infrastructure. Sources close to the president of Ukraine say that as a result of this attack, Russia will now be forced to negotiate with fair demands.
