According to analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Ukrainian military destroyed a column of equipment of the criminal army of the Russian Federation near the village of Oktyabrske in the Kursk region.

Points of attention

  • Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reveal details of the Ukrainian military's destruction of a Russian army column in the Kursk region near the village of Oktyabrske.
  • The column, consisting of 14 covered trucks 'Ural' and KAMAZ, was intended to reinforce the occupying army of the Russian Federation in the region, according to ISW.
  • Speculations arise regarding the personnel being transported in the convoy, possibly belonging to the 44th Army Corps or the 'Pyatnashka' brigade.
  • Analysts discuss the potential advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the region and the strategies employed by the Russian occupying army to counter the offensive.
  • The situation in Kurshchyna is assessed with considerations for further military movements and deployments, highlighting the complexities of the ongoing conflict.

What is known about the circumstances of the destruction by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of a column of the Russian army in the Kursk region

According to analysts with reference to Ukrainian and Russian sources, near the village of Oktyabrske in the Kursk region, along the route 38K-017, the Ukrainian military destroyed 14 covered trucks "Ural" and KAMAZ, which were transporting reserves to strengthen the occupation army of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region.

ISW emphasizes that the Russian soldiers who were in the trucks probably died.

Russian sources suggested that the convoy could be transporting personnel of the 44th Army Corps of the Northern Group of Russian troops (Leningrad Military District) or the "Pyatnashka" brigade, analysts say.

At the same time, they draw attention to the fact that the Russian "militants" are actively making assumptions about what exactly the Armed Forces of Ukraine could have used to hit this column.

How analysts assess the situation in Kurshchyna

It is noted that RosZMI and the "military" declare the further advance of the Armed Forces to the east of the Kursk region, but analysts do not confirm the advance of the Ukrainian military so far to the north or west of the region.

At the same time, analysts emphasize that the command of the Russian occupiers probably relies on repelling the offensive of the Ukrainian military on the units deployed near the border, which mainly consist of conscripts, as well as other irregular groups.

Analysts also suggest that the occupation army of the Russian Federation has probably started transferring more combat-capable units from the east or south of Ukraine, but their arrival and deployment will take time.

Ukraine attacked the Ilya Refinery and oil pumping stations in the Russia

On February 17, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Ilya Oil Refinery, as well as the Kropotkinskaya and Andreapol oil pumping stations in the Krasnodar Territory of the aggressor country, Russia.

Points of attention

  • The General Staff emphasizes Ukraine's right to strike strategic targets supporting Russian aggression and vows to continue operations to weaken the aggressor's military capabilities.
  • Through destroying energy infrastructure, Ukraine aims to fight for its freedom and independence, disrupting Russian resources and military potential.

Ukraine continues to “impose sanctions” against Russia

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine officially confirmed that a large-scale fire broke out as a result of the attack on the Ilya Oil Refinery.

In addition, the Kropotkinskaya and Andreapol stations, which provided fuel transportation for the Russian invaders in Ukraine, came under attack by Ukrainian soldiers.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces were able to disable them — this will significantly complicate the logistics of fuel supplies for the Russian army.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine draws attention to the fact that Ukraine reserves the right to strike strategic objects that contribute to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.

"Operations to destroy the energy infrastructure that supports Russia's illegal war will continue. Ukraine continues to fight for its freedom and independence, destroying the aggressor's resources and weakening its military potential," the official statement said.
