Russia said today, on Sunday, that its forces regained control of other cities in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces controlled parts of the region, 7 months after their incursion through the border, in a remarkable development on the ground, recited what Moscow declared that it was a qualitative process for its own forces in the region, which kyiv denied.
This came to a declaration by the Russian Ministry of Defense, which was published on the request of Telegram after reports on the infiltration of the Russian forces, in particular in 3 cities, Malaaya Lukenieh, Terchakkoy Burichnoi and Cosita, north of Soda, adding that the Russian armed forces “continue to defeat the groups of the Ukrainian army on the land of Kursk”.
Ross bloggers had already talked about what was called the “pipeline operation”. Blogger Yuri Bodolaka said the Russian special forces had traveled about 16 km in a large pipeline, and that some soldiers spent a few days in the tube before surprising Ukrainian forces near Soda.
Another military blogger, supporting Russia called Tu Megarez, said that a great battle was taking place in the Soda region and that the Russian forces surprised Ukrainian soldiers by entering the region through a line of gas pipelines.

Ukrainian forces took over 1,300 square kilometers from the Kursk region last August last, while kyiv said it was an attempt to win a negotiation document in all future negotiations and forced Russia to withdraw its strengths from the large areas it controlled in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian forces produced a few days ago, and open source cards published on Friday showed that kyiv forces in Corsak had almost besieged after surprising Russian progress.
“The attack continues.”
Ukrainian denial
In the opposite camp, a press release published by Ukrainian offensive forces said that Russian soldiers had used the pipeline to try to take a foothold in the region, but they were discovered immediately and attacked them with missiles, artillery fires and steps.
The general staff of the Ukrainian army declared in a report that the Ukrainian forces had pushed 15 Russian attacks in the Corsak region, with 6 armed confrontations continuing. He also reported 12 Russian air strikes on his locations.
Moscow did not officially refer to the pipeline operation, but the General Mayger Alaa Al -Dinov, commander of the Akhmat’s Chechen special forces, re -published photos on the application of the special forces telegram inside a gas pipeline and said: “I am surprised by people who really believe that Russia could lose.”
