Ukrainian war: Russia announces recapture of Viktorovka, Nikolayevka, Staraya Sorochina
The Russian defence ministry has announced the recapture of Viktorovka, Nikolayevka and Staraya Sorochina in its Kursk region.
An online military tracker linked to the Ukrainian army, DeepState, reports that the Russian move followed a “breach” in Ukrainian defence lines.
The breach, according to the report, happened near the town of Sudzha, which is under Kyiv’s control.
An army source told Ukrainska Pravda newspaper that the Ukrainian soldiers were trying to “stabilise the situation.”
It, however, added that the Russian troops had “completely cut off the supply lines”.
Meanwhile, Russian defence ministry said on Saturday that its air defence systems had destroyed 31 Ukrainian drones over the previous night
