 Russia changes commander of Kursan Front. Ukrainian military revealed Kremlin's purpose. The Russian military leadership has replaced the commander who was in charge of the temporarily occupied territories in the Kursan region, appointing General Mikhail Teplinsky in his place. Such appointments are usually made when the occupiers believe that a change in tactics and strategy is necessary. According to the information shared by Natalya Humenyuk, the spokesperson for the United Coordinating Press Centre of Security and Defence Forces of the south of Ukraine. According to her words, such actions by the occupiers indicate that the previous commander did not meet their expectations regarding the development of events on the Ukrainian left bank. The Zaporizhia direction has significantly weakened in their understanding. The dragon's broken teeth didn't stop the pressure from the defence forces and the Kursan direction continues its counter-battery warfare and achieves rather convincing results, said Humenyuk. She also explained that Moscow typically changes the commander before making significant military decisions on the front. Ukrainian defenders on their part are creating all conditions for the adversary to make such a decision as difficult as possible. The UK Ministry of Defence had announced the appointment of a new commander by the occupiers on the Kursan direction, Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky, indicating an increase in pressure on the occupiers' formations in the south from the side of the Ukrainian armed forces.
