According to messages of the Ministry of Defence, advance of the opponent is stopped, however AFU still are in the territory of sew camps. In an operational environment there could be a city of Sudzha, however the authorities of the settlement report that there is no opponent in the city. In the region the emergency regime is introduced. Vladimir Putin and other representatives of the highest military-political country leaders reacted to a situation.

Officials of Ukraine, in particular, the adviser to the president Mikhaylo Podolyak say that similar operations will positively influence probable negotiations with the Russian Federation. In that case, not less positively approach of Russia in Donetsk region, and missile attacks of military facilities in Kiev, and destruction of power infrastructure "independent" also affects them.

About what occurs in Kursk region - in material of the correspondent of The Moscow Post.

The attack from AFU began on Sunday, August 6. At first contradictory messages arrived - allegedly, several DRG came into Kursk region. It became clear later that a situation more serious.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the attack began after fire preparation forces up to 300 people from the structure of the 22nd mechanized crew of AFU with assistance of 11 tanks and more than 20 armored combat vehicles. Department assured that troops of cover of the state border together with divisions of border troops of FSB of Russia reflect the attacks and inflict fire defeat on the opponent around frontier and to reserves in the territory of the Sumy region.

Subsequently the situation was commented also by the President Vladimir Putin. He convened a meeting of security officers at which the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov assured him that advance of the opponent is stopped, and he will be beaten. At the same time Putin called the events large-scale provocation from AFU.

According to the head of state, after the conversation with the acting the governor of Kursk region Aleksei Smirnov "instructions were given to a number of civil departments on rendering the necessary help to residents of the area". From the federal government the first Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov responsible for the industry and military industrial complex will coordinate work.

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova characterized the attack of AFU as terrorist actions, and it is difficult not to agree with her. Under the Ukrainian firings not less than six civilians among whom there are a paramedic and the ambulance driver and also the pregnant girl died.

Along with it in State Department of the USA said that Ukraine has full authority for such actions. Whether understand there that such attacks remove prospect of peace talks further away? We think, quite.

The ambassador of Russia in Washington Anatoly Antonov criticized public reaction of the American authorities to the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kursk region. He reminded that from officials of the USA neither the condemnation to Kiev, nor a regret concerning the victims of the event sounded. However, and whether there were from them regrets when during the Ukrainian terrorist attack on Krymsky Bridge the married couple civil when Russians perished from the Ukrainian terrorists in other situations died? Rhetorical question.

The situation harms also western partners of Kiev. According to some information, under fire control of AFU at some point there could be a gazoraspreditelny station in Sudzha. It is the only point on which the Russian pipe gas still comes to Europe.

Fears of a stop of deliveries already led to splash in the European prices. The quotations of the next futures on Wednesday grew by 5.8%, up to $438 for 1 thousand cubic meters, having updated maxima of this year. Experts believe that if transit through Ukraine stops, it won't become critical for Europe, but will be a reason for further price increase. And Gazprom can theoretically throw a part of volumes on "The Turkish stream". However, as more than once Russian and not only analysts hinted, after destruction of "Northern streams" our ill-wishers can reach also Turkish.

Besides, there is an opportunity that pressure or even occupation of the Kursk NPP located in the city of Kurchatov can be the purpose of the current attack. It would be "maximum programme" for AFU - a task extremely difficult and, probably, even impracticable. The similar step would allow Kiev "to exchange" the Kursk NPP for the Zaporizhia NPP - as well as to put all region on a side of nuclear technogenic catastrophe. The fact that both Ukraine, and EU countries will suffer from her the management in Kiev, probably, doesn't concern.

Further is still covered with fog. According to the chief of the General Staff Gerasimov and representatives of the Ministry of Defence of Russian Armed Forces regularly inflict fire defeat over AFU which try to be fixed near border. At the same time, on Sunday information on unfortunate operation of AFU on the Tenderovsky spit in the Kherson region arrived - the opponent departed with big losses. I.e. it is probable, a series of blows was planned, but at the enemy didn't go south".

At the same time, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to crush the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions. It seems that there is no talk of transferring forces from there to Kursk for Russia, but Ukraine lacks people. At least 3 brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are involved near Kursk - if they are defeated along with reinforcements, Kyiv may not have enough reserves for Donbass, and the front will sprinkle. So for Kyiv, the operation in the Kursk region may be the same as the Kursk Bulge for Hitler's troops - the last attempt to seize the military initiative before the final collapse.
