"[Ukrainian] soldiers told us, 'We don't touch you. Live a peaceful life, everything's fine.' "
This is how the houses of the residents of Sudzha, Kursk region of Russia, look like after the Ukrainian troops entered the city. Nothing has changed - they are still standing perfectly intact. There is an abundance of products in one of the local stores, and humanitarian aid is being brought from Ukraine to those in need.
Igor Korpunkov, the mayor of the town of Kurchatov, Kursk region of Russia, said that the town's residents had "adapted" to the war on the territory of the region, including "missile threat" signals.

Russian Z-channels report that another of the two "live" bridges in the village of Zvannoye, Kursk region, is now being hit.
If the crossing is destroyed, about 700 km² could be encircled.
Do you remember the Ukrainian Defender Yurii Kochevenko with the call sign “Pikachu”?
I was happy to see his new video.
Glory to our Defenders!
Dear followers,
I'd like to ask you what do you like seeing here on my account?
News? Forecasts? Lies of the Russian propaganda? Stories about ordinary Ukrainians? Videos of our Defenders?
Or maybe you're here for my incredible sense of humor? :)
What's lacking?
What's good?
What would you like to know more about?
I appreciate all your comments and I'm grateful to you for being here!
2,000 vehicles are reportedly stuck in a traffic jam on the Kerch Bridge due to a reported attack on Russian-occupied Crimea last night. The bridge was closed for traffic for several hours.

It seems that some of the beneficiaries of the operation in Russia's Kursk region are the Baltic States, Sweden and Finland.
Russia is moving troops from Kaliningrad to the front. This city serves as a stronghold for the recently restored Leningrad Military District. The main task is to ensure Russia's dominance in the Baltic States and Scandinavia. But now the situation has changed.
Part of the potential of the Leningrad Military District was reduced during the actions north of Kharkiv. Now, apparently, the second stage has begun.
By the way, this clearly demonstrates how much Russia is “afraid” of NATO. It also shows once again that Ukraine is the real shield of Europe in the east.
In fact, Ukraine has already become part of the European collective defense system.
Instead of a thousand words.
The frontline in Ukraine is clearly visible from space.
Glory to our Defenders!
Reportedly, this is singing in Sudzha.

Russian sources say that criminal cases are being prepared for Russian generals due to failure of the Kursk region's defense.
The "cleansing" of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which started after the dismissal of Sergei Shoigu, may continue with a new series of arrests of high-ranking law enforcers who failed in the defense of the Kursk region.
It is reported that Gerasimov, head of the General Staff, has fallen into Putin's disfavor.
"Right now, the F-16 pilots that were trained - and they'll tell you this too - they don't have enough time or experience in the airplane to teach that. But if the bottlenecks are removed that allow us to come volunteer and help Ukraine, then we can solve that problem. Ukrainians are fighting and defending their own country, and we can definitely help with that," says retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dan Hampton.

Russian defense minister Belousov said that "the General Staff has prepared a plan of specific actions to ensure security in border regions."
A bit late for that, if you ask me.
Also note Belousov's audience. Everyone looks very important and even pretends to write down valuable instructions from the minister.
Ukrainian Air Forces showed footage of destroying the bridge in Kursk region.
Reportedly, this is the bridge over Seym.

"New normality" - Russian propagandist Mardan uses this term for "the situation in the Kursk region" and says that it was received quite calmly in Russia.
I wrote about this a few days ago - ordinary Russians don't care about their fellow countrymen. They are poisoned by propaganda and are incapable of empathy.
The first images of the destroyed bridge over the Seym River, Kursk region have appeared.
There is information that the bridge was destroyed by the AFU within the operation in Kursk region.
"The Ukrainians struck the bridge again. After that, one of the spans collapsed. Part of the Glushkovsky district is now cut off - this is Tyotkino, Popovo-Lezhachi, Volfino, and about 27 other settlements," Russian media claim.
Reportedly, between 700 to 1,000 Russian soldiers may have been cut off from "the big land," Russian Telegram channels claim.
Look at these young faces. These are Russian conscripts. Putin sent them to fight against the experienced Ukrainian army.
It was Putin who guaranteed that they would not be involved in direct combat, but, as always, he deceived them.
Parents of the captured Russian soldier did not recognize their own son. He tried very hard to prove to them it was really him.
They probably already received payment and so don't want to recognize him.
“These territories may have to be surrendered...” - this is how Russian propagandists discuss the situation in Russia's Kursk region of Russia.
By the way, at the same time, they are calling for the communication and Internet to be cut off there.
Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat unit, was offended by a post by a Russian blogger in the "Operation Z" Telegram channel about a report by Western journalists which they had filmed in Sudzha.
The blogger asked what the commander of the Chechen troops thought about it. Since there was nothing to answer, the Chechen TikTok battalion commander accused “Operation Z” channel of working for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Your questioning apparatus hasn't grown up to ask me anything. And not a rooster like you should ask me anything. I know my job, I do it. I fight. You understand? And I do everything to prevent roosters like you from sowing panic in our ranks, in the ranks of Defense Ministry fighters and among civilians," Alaudinov said and later deleted his post.
One of the Russian propagandists, Mikhail Markelov, proposed to shut down the Internet in Russia's border regions.
In his opinion, in the regions where the CTO regime is in effect (Belgorod, Kursk, and Bryansk regions), military censorship should be introduced and communication via the Internet should be banned.
Ukrainian Airborne Assault troops shared footage from the first hours of the Kursk operation.

"I came here to kill. My unit was told to go forward, shoot and kill. I did what I was told. But it all depends on Putin, he gives orders. My personal attitude to the Ukrainian people? None, I just don't have any attitude. I was given orders, I killed and shooted. If they say don't shoot, I won't shoot. One young guy refused to go - they just shot him, that's it..." - Vitaly Zufirgaliyevich Mirazov, a Russian soldier from the Russian army's 57th Storm-V division, was captured. He said that he had no questions for the supreme commander-in-chief of Russia, he went to fight and signed a contract voluntarily.
This is not the first Russian soldier who says that refusal to advance further and go to the assault in the Russian army is followed by execution.
"We are meat. We were told that we are meat and nobody needs us. That we would lie there and no one would take us away," Mirazov said.

⚡️Russian Minister of Defense Belousov demanded that he be provided with "truthful" and "prompt" information from the Kursk region, where AFU units have invaded, as well as from other Russian border regions.
On the 9th day.
So, it means he didn't receive it before that?
Or did he receive information that was not truthful? And not prompt?
And "demanded" - in what way?
