Russians surrender in Kursk as Ukrainians advance with momentum

Ukrainians have captured more Russian soldiers in the Kursk region. This time, it's a group of about 30 Russian soldiers, most likely conscripts, defending the Kursk region from attacks by Kyiv's troops.

Another video showing disarmed Russians has appeared online. According to Ukrainian Channel 24, the defense of the Kursk region was mainly managed by conscripts and regular troops, who reportedly fled from the advancing Ukrainians. The conscripts, however, ended up in captivity.

The Deep State channel on Telegram published a video, which is said to be from the first days of the attack on the Kursk region. It shows Russian soldiers kneeling in a row, waiting for transport. Ukrainian soldiers also searched the prisoners. In another shot, we see Russians lying on the road.

In another published recording, the prisoners are taken away by an armored Ukrainian vehicle. According to information provided by Deep State, this involves a group of about 30 Russian soldiers. The Russians were then transported in an unknown direction.

The published recordings and Russian and Ukrainian reports from August 10 and 11 indicate that Ukrainian forces were moving west and northwest in the Kursk region, according to the Institute for the Study of War based on geolocation data.

The American Institute also states that "Russian sources largely claim that Moscow's troops have stabilized the situation." However, photos and videos published online suggest that the Ukrainian offensive is not losing momentum.
