Moscow admits that russian army would not be able to quickly knock out AFU from Kursk Oblast

Member of the State Duma of the aggressor country of russia, Lieutenant General Andrey Gurulyov, stated that the russian army will not be able to knock out the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Kursk Oblast in a short period of time.

Gurulyov said this in a video message published on his Telegram channel.

According to his words, which he probably addressed to the russians, Ukraine allegedly threw "serious forces and means" to the Kursk Oblast.

"We need to look at the situation soberly, this is not a sabotage and reconnaissance group, it will not be possible to expel them quickly," Gurulyov said.

The State Duma member added that the alleged advance of Ukrainian troops had been stopped, but "this does not mean that there is silence."

He claims that serious fighting is ongoing in the south of the Kursk Oblast, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are allegedly transferring reinforcements from the territory of Ukraine.

Gurulyov called to realize the fact that Ukraine occupied part of the russian territory.

He also acknowledged the problem that the offensive of the Armed Forces came as a surprise to the group of russian troops that provided cover for the border.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Ukrainian anonymous Telegram channel Mykolaivskyi Vanek announced that the russians had begun withdrawing units from the east of Ukraine and transferring them to the Kursk Oblast.

Recall that the russians also announced that the russians were preparing the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant for a possible attack by the Ukrainian military.
