Kursk encirclement, Donbass push and drone warfare: The past week in the Ukraine conflict RT Russia & Former Soviet Union [Video]

The past week in the Ukraine conflict has seen intensive fighting along the front line, with active combat continuing in the border areas of Russia’s Kursk Region, as well as in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where Moscow has reported making new gains.

The Russian military announced that it had secured two communities in the north of the republic: the village of Serebryanka, located immediately north of the town of Seversk, as well as Novosadovoye, an abandoned settlement adjacent to the border with the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR).

The latter gain marks a new milestone in Russia’s advance towards the town of Krasny Liman, which was re-captured by Kiev during its autumn 2022 offensive. The liberation of Serebryanka could potentially signal a change of the tide in the vicinity of Seversk, which has seen medium-to-high intensity combat throughout most of the ongoing conflict.
