Soldiers from the National Guard force grouping, together with Defense Ministry units, are putting pressure on the retreating Ukrainian Army troops in the Sudzha district,” said a Russian military statement.
The Russian National Guard is a paramilitary force that reports directly to the head of state, Vladimir Putin.
So far the information has not been verified by journalists or independent sources.
According to sources quoted by Agence France Presse on Tuesday, Ukraine continues to lose ground in Kursk under increasing pressure from Russian and North Korean troops, and at a time when information is emerging about the possible withdrawal of Kyiv’s forces from the region.
Russia has managed to recapture around 200 square kilometers, or 50% of the territory that Ukraine controlled just a week ago, after Moscow made advances in Kursk.
