 Russians started having problems on the left bank of Kursan region. On the left bank of the Kursan region, our soldiers act boldly and tactically, competently, sometimes even defiantly. Problems began with the Russian occupiers. This was stated by the spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Andrew Kovalev. The Russian occupiers have started having problems. As a result of heavy losses, they are forced to transfer units here from other directions, he said. Also, according to Kovalev, the significant losses of the occupying forces are due to the fact that the invaders are trying to knock out the Ukrainian soldiers from their occupied positions from these bridgeheads. Almost every day the enemy makes from four to ten such attempts. The occupiers on the left bank of the Kursan region use the entire arsenal of weapons from mortars to large-caliber artillery, rockets, weapons and aviation. However, our soldiers act bravely and tactically competently, sometimes even defiantly, he added. Russia has escalated shelling on the left bank of Kursan Oblast, fearing an expansion of Ukraine's bridgehead across the Nipro River, Oleksandr Tolokhonikov, spokesperson for the Kursan's Oblast Military Administration said. As for air bombs, they have started shelling the left bank. I understand these are chaotic shelling incidents. The Russians are very afraid of a counter-offensive. They are trying to halt the counter-offensive by our guys, Tolokhonikov said.
