The Russian invasion of Ukraine has taken an unexpected turn in recent hours with a Ukrainian counteroffensive on Russian territory.<\/p>\n

\nThe additions that the Ukrainian Army is putting on its Abrams tanks<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

The counteroffensive has been launched at several points on the border between Ukraine and Russia, specifically in the Russian region of Kursk. OSINT Technical has indicated<\/a> that Ukrainian forces have penetrated up to 20 km into Russian territory<\/strong>. That is, in 24 hours (since the counteroffensive began on Tuesday), the Ukrainians have been able to advance further distance than the Russians were able to advance in months in several Ukrainian towns<\/strong>, such as Bakhmut and Avdiivka.<\/p>\n

The consequences of this counteroffensive are not only known from Ukrainian sources. The Russian Telegram channel Rybar, with 1.2 million followers, acknowledged<\/a> that Ukrainian forces have occupied the villages of Leonidovo and Lyubimovka<\/strong>, adding: \"At the same time, Russian troops attempted a counterattack in the direction of the nearby village of Zeleny Shlyakh, but failed to liberate the village.\"<\/em> The Russian channel also notes: \"One of the Ukrainian armored groups<\/strong>, consisting of several units of equipment, conducted active reconnaissance along the Rylsk-Sudzha highway and managed to reach the outskirts of the workers' village of Korenevo<\/strong>, located about 30 km south-east of Rylsk.\"<\/em> Korenevo is 25 km from the border with Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russian source said that Ukrainian forces have launched several attacks and are having success: \"On the second day of the Ukrainian attack on the Kursk region, the situation remains difficult: the enemy's long preparations for the attack, unfortunately, have borne fruit.<\/strong> Enemy engineering teams are being sent to the areas of Russian territory occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to equip defensive fortifications.\"<\/em> The Russian channel has published this complete map showing Ukrainian advances at different points along the border:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To top off the humiliation, this video has been released showing the surrender of dozens of Russian soldiers to Ukrainian forces in Kursk<\/a>. These soldiers have already been taken as prisoners to Ukrainian territory:<\/p>\n
