The russian occupation forces were able to recapture a quarter of the territory of the Kursk Oblast, which was under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine as a result of the offensive operation launched in August 2024.
Newsweek writes about this with reference to the reports of military bloggers and OSINT analysts.
The publication drew attention to the fact that the Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState has updated its interactive map of combat operations. According to the latest update, as a result of the counterattack, the russian army was able to recapture almost 120 square kilometers of territory.
Last Monday, October 14, a number of Telegram channels reported that russian troops occupied the settlements of Lyubimovka, Tolstyi Lug, and Olgovka.
And russian military bloggers said that the Ukrainian army allegedly lost control over the settlement of Cherkasskaya Konopelka.
In their latest report, experts from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) also published a map illustrating the likely successes of the russian army in the Kursk Oblast.
At the same time, ISW analysts emphasized that there is currently no independent confirmation that the russians have established control over Cherkasskaya Konopelka.

We will remind you that on September 11, russian Z-channels and military bloggers announced that the russian army had launched a counteroffensive in the Kursk Oblast.
As of October 1, it was known that as a result of the fighting, the russians managed to recapture less than a fifth of the territory of the Kursk Oblast lost as a result of the Ukrainian operation.
Yesterday, October 14, President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the situation in the Kursk Oblast against the backdrop of numerous reports on the Internet about the successes of the russian army in the region. According to him, for the fifth day in a row, the Ukrainian military is repelling attempts by the russians to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the region.
