Scorched earth: Ukrainian forces capture 27 Russians near Kursk
Darjino in the Kursk region has been leveled to the ground. Ukrainians displayed what the area looks like after a month of Russian offensives. "Russians turn everything to ashes," writes the 225th Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The recording of the remains of the village of Darjino in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region following the Russian offensive was published by the Ukrainian strike group "Black Swan" from the 225th Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Scorched earth tactics
"This is what Darjino in the Kursk region looks like after a month of the Russian offensive. If we previously thought the 'scorched earth' tactic was used somewhere in Syria or Ukraine, we now see that even their own land doesn't matter to them. The land is for resource extraction, and people are there to extract those resources, but no one is interested in building or development. Barbarians," reads the unit's statement.
On Thursday at 3:00 PM ET, Ukrainian troops captured 27 Russian soldiers in the Kursk region in western Russia, the press service of Ukraine's airborne assault forces reported on social media.
Soldiers laid down their arms. Prisoners near Kursk
"In recent days, 27 enemy soldiers were taken captive during military operations. They include officers, sergeants, and soldiers from motorized units, naval infantry, airborne troops, and other military units, representatives from various regions of Russia and the temporarily occupied Sevastopol," a city in the southern part of Crimea, according to the statement.
In the Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops have been operating since August 2024, the Russian armed forces have begun a new phase of the offensive to push the Ukrainians out. This phase has been more successful for the Russians than previous attempts, in part due to support from North Korean soldiers.
