On January 2, a strike was launched against the Russian troops in the Kursk region. Russian troops suffered significant losses, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation.

The Russian army has lost over 38,000 troops and more than 1,000 pieces of equipment since the beginning of Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Jan.

Five months after their shock offensive into Russia, Ukrainian troops are bloodied by daily combat losses and demoralized by the rising risk of defeat in Kursk.
