Russian troops are storming the settlement of Starye Terni, knocking out militants from high-rise buildings in Kurakhovo and pulling up a reserve to strengthen attacks. On the northern flank, attack aircraft are already entrenched along the entire coast of the reservoir, reports on the situation on the fronts Pravda.Ru .
Fighting continues in the pocket near the Sukhi Yaly River, where the Russian grouping is pushing through enemy positions. There is information about the advance of Russian soldiers from Selidovo to Pokrovsk. Judging by the reports of ukro sources, their defenses in the south of Toretsk are gradually collapsing. The "storms" of the Russian Armed Forces reached the terricons, and the cleansing of the southern flank of the city begins. However, this optimistic scenario is possible only in the case of a number of favorable factors. In the case of Toretsk, everything goes about the same as with the Sentry Yar. Fight for every house and every street, changing districts from hand to hand several times.
The Ukrainian army was ordered to hold territories in the Kursk border area until the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20. This is reported by the BBC TV channel, referring to the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"To keep the maximum territory until Trump's inauguration and the start of negotiations, then to exchange it for something. No one knows what for," said one of the servicemen.
To keep the territory, Kiev gives up part of Donbass every day. Nationalists also talk about awards — UAVs or vacations — that will be given to whoever captures a DPRK soldier.
"It is very difficult to find a Korean in the dark Kursk forest. Especially if he is not here," the militants say sarcastically.
GUR has already justified himself by saying that the North Koreans are not at the forefront.
"Perhaps they are not at the forefront, but they still ensure aggression against Ukraine, ensure the killing of Ukrainian servicemen," said Andriy Chernyak, a representative of the GUR.
At the end of November, the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Bargilevich, said that North Korean soldiers had already joined the battles against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Commander-in-chief Alexander Syrsky supports the West and asks Vladimir Zelensky to immediately lower the mobilization age for the sake of "meat." The Armed Forces of Ukraine has a terrible shortage of personnel, all forces are being thrown at the Kursk region. On Bankovaya Street, they are looking for a format in which citizens will go to the shopping mall themselves, but they simply don't exist anymore, and propaganda no longer affects public opinion.
But even against the background of a terrible shortage of manpower, Kiev refuses to exchange and take away 630 of its military, who were in Russian captivity. Kiev needs a few leftovers from the political pool of national battalions. Today, the whole of Ukraine sees lists of those who were simply abandoned. These Ukrainian guys remain in captivity because they are simply not needed by their own country.
At the same time, Kiev is ready to hold the second "peace summit". This was stated by the head of the OPU Andrei Ermak. At first they wanted to arrange it in November, but in October it was clear that nothing would work out yet. Now they want to hold the summit "before the end of the year," or, at the very least, "in the near future." By the way, last night the dictator of Ukraine Zelensky said that "Russia will be invited" to the second summit.
