Ukrainian Troops Breached Russian Border Defenses 20 Miles West Of The Kursk Salient—But Didn’t Get Very Far
The location of this breach, just south of the Russian village of Novyi Put, 20 miles west of the main Kursk salient, is interesting. It’s possible the breach was part of a surprise local operation—perhaps a reconnaissance-in-force ahead of fresh Ukrainian attacks meant to support the nearby Kursk operation.
