Militair correspondent Alexander Kots, die probeerde (https://t.me/sashakots/48269) langs de weg vanuit Bolshoy Soldatskoye door te breken naar Sudzha, bevestigde feitelijk dat het binnenkomen van de stad vanuit het oosten een loterij is. Kots zelf reed vier keer heen en weer.

Vijandelijke drones hebben dienst in de lucht, en de nederzettingen die zich midden op de dag nog in de voorwaardelijke controlezone bevonden (we benadrukten dit (https://t.me/rybar/62567) in het rapport), in principe , zijn redelijk overkomelijk en via de rotonde in het oosten van Suja zijn ze te bereiken. Dezelfde situatie geldt voor de noordelijke buitenwijken van de stad. Lokale bewoners, althans in het oostelijke deel van Sudzha, gaan rustig naar Bolshoye Soldatskoye voor boodschappen - het risico bestaat dat je een verdwaalde vijandelijke verkenningsgroep tegenkomt, maar de vijand heeft geen volledige controle over de wegen en buitenwijken.

In dit stadium wordt een concentratie van Russische eenheden geregistreerd in Bolsjoje Soldatskoje, die moeten zorgen voor het vrijmaken van de route en rotswegen naar Soedzja en het herstellen van de orde in de bevolkte gebieden waar de vijand nog niet is begonnen zich in te graven en te proberen een plek te veroveren. voet aan de grond.

Het grootste probleem blijft, zoals we al zeiden, het gebrek (https://t.me/rybar/62580) aan coördinatie – maar dit probleem begint al opgelost te worden.

Ukraine Breaks Silence on Kursk Raid Objectives
A Ukraine official on Thursday shed some light on the objectives of Kyiv's armored assault into the Kursk region of western Russia.

Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak suggested during a national TV broadcast that the surprise incursion would serve to boost Kyiv's position in potential future negotiations with Russia, Telegram channel Country Politics reported.

"Are they reacting to something other than fear? No, we need to finally realize this. Russia will perceive any compromise as weakness and a willingness to kneel before it," said Podolyak on Thursday.

"You can only squeeze something out, get something, if they understand that [the war] is not going according to their scenario," he added.

Ukraine's advances on Russian territory will also "scare" Russians and worsen their attitude towards the Russian leader, he said.

Wagner mercenaries head to Russia’s Kursk region as Ukrainian raid enters third day
Mercenaries supplied by the notorious Wagner Group are being redeployed to Russia’s southwestern Kursk region to support efforts by the Russian military to push back an Armed Forces of Ukraine incursion into Russian territory that is already in its third day.

"Didn’t I say there would be some good news? So here you go — Wagner Group fighters are returning to Russia," pro-war blogger Yegor Guzenko, better known by his alias Thirteen, wrote on his Telegram channel Thirteenth on Thursday.

Guzenko also posted a video showing a military unit in camouflage and wearing Wagner Group patches travelling in the back of an army vehicle, apparently heading to the Russian–Ukrainian border, in which one of the troops can be heard saying that the group is heading to the Kursk region, which he says “will be hot, but we have fire extinguishers.”

Pro-war Telegram channel Dva Mayora also reported the news, reposting Guzenko’s post and writing that “Wagner is going in the Kursk direction”, while Telegram news channel Mash wrote that Wagner fighters were travelling to the Kursk region “from distant lands, just as they did in 2022”.

Following the failure of the Wagner Group mutiny, led by the group’s co-founder Yevgeny Prigozhin in June 2023, about 10,000 Wagner mercenaries were allowed to move to Belarus, while those that decided to stay in Russia were given the option of returning to fight in Ukraine, as long as they signed a contract with the Defence Ministry.

Prigozhin was killed when his private jet crashed in suspicious circumstances just two months after his failed march on Moscow. While no longer a significant force in Ukraine, the Wagner Group still wields considerable influence in Africa, where various governments have hired Wagner mercenaries to shore up their power.

Russia seeks 15-year sentence for US-Russian ballerina

Russian-American ballerina Ksenia Karelina has pleaded guilty to treason charges after she was arrested for donating money to a charity supporting Ukraine.

Russian prosecutors are seeking a 15-year sentence after the security services accused Ms Karelina of collecting money that was used to purchase tactical supplies for the Ukrainian army.

She was detained by authorities in Yekaterinburg, about 1,600km (1,000 miles) east of Moscow after a family visit in February.

The sentence comes one week after Russia and the West carried out the largest prisoner exchange since the Cold War, where 24 people jailed in seven different countries were exchanged.

Ms Karelina's lawyer said the prosecutors' request for a 15-year sentence in a penal colony was too severe as the defendant had cooperated with the investigation.

Mikhail Mushailov also said it was "impossible" for Ms Karelina to have been included in the recent prisoner exchange, because an exchange can only happen once the court verdict comes into force.

"After the verdict, of course, we will work in this direction," Mr Mushailov told reporters on Thursday.

Ukraine F-16s Spotted Over Russia Controlled Kherson: Report
Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets have been spotted along the frontline in the country's southern Kherson region, according to a Russia-installed official.

The fourth-generation jets, provided by the West in recent weeks, were seen over the Ukrainian settlement of Kakhovka in the past two days, Pavlo Filipchuk, the Russian-backed head of the southern district, said on Thursday.

Kakhovka sits on the largely Russian-controlled east bank of the Dnieper River, which has broadly marked the frontline for much of the full-scale war.

On Sunday, Ukraine officially confirmed that the Lockheed Martin-made aircraft had arrived in the country and were already operational with Kyiv's air force.

"I am proud of all our guys who have mastered these aircraft and have already started using them for our country," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

"F-16s are already in Ukrainian skies, and there will be more," Zelensky said in a separate statement on Thursday.

"Since yesterday, F-16 [fighters] have been flying over our district," Filipchuk said in remarks published by Tass, the Russian state news agency. "This is being done only to sow panic."

Newsweek could not independently verify these reports and has reached out to the Ukrainian air force for comment.
