In the area of the Russian village of Korenevo, Kursk region of the Russian Federation, Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed a Russian military column. Enemy soldiers write about it.

Points of attention

  • Pro-Kremlin propagandists express dissatisfaction with the mistakes of Russian commanders.
  • The first case of the destruction of a Russian convoy in the Kursk region occurred near Rylsk.
  • According to the latest data, there were servicemen of the Russian Federation from at least two military units in the attacked convoy.

How is the situation developing in Kurshchyna

According to pro-Kremlin military commanders Volodymyr Romanov and Platon Mamatov, under Korenev "the same thing happened as under Rylsk."

There is no worse misfortune in war than idiots among commanders. The enemy does not forgive mistakes, — complained Platon Mamatov, but did not disclose additional details.

Another pro-Kremlin soldier, Romanov, complains that Russia still hasn't learned how to lead columns, which has led to fatal consequences for the enemy.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that they do not publish photos and videos of the consequences of the impact. There is no confirmation of this information.

What is known about the first case of the destruction of a Russian military convoy within the Kursk operation

On the night of August 9, Ukrainian forces with the help of HIMARS inflicted a devastating blow on a Russian convoy near Rylsk, in Kurshchyna.

According to the latest data, there were soldiers of the Russian Federation from at least two military units — military unit 13140 (810th marine brigade, Sevastopol) and military unit 72164 (Leningrad region) in the attacked column.

Subsequently, it was possible to confirm the identities of the two dead in the convoy — they are servicemen of military unit 13140 and cousins from the Astrakhan region — Mykola Linkov and Ruslan Gelyazhov.

According to Linvoa's mother, the men's bodies were taken to the Rostov morgue on August 13.

As of the morning of August 16, relatives of at least three servicemen from military unit 72164, who were in a column near Rylsk, reported in thematic chats or groups that the bodies of the servicemen were also delivered to the Rostov morgue.

Hungary "bargained" for the lifting of EU sanctions on four Russians

The European Union had to make concessions to Hungary in order to extend the sanctions.

Points of attention

  • Hungary successfully negotiated with the European Union to lift sanctions on four Russian individuals, including an oligarch and a minister.
  • Budapest's insistence on amending the sanctions lists resulted in the lifting of restrictions on specific individuals until September 2025.
  • Despite calls to exclude tycoon Mikhail Fridman from the list, Hungary's efforts led to the removal of sanctions on selected Russians.

Thanks to Hungary, EU sanctions against four Russians were lifted

Hungary lifted its veto and agreed to extend European Union sanctions against Russia until September 2025, insisting on lifting restrictions on several Russians.

This is reported by Euronews, citing European diplomats.

In exchange for the extension of sanctions on more than 2,400 individuals and entities, Budapest insisted on lifting restrictions on eight individuals. At the same time, Luxembourg called for the exclusion of tycoon Mikhail Fridman from the list, but the European Union did not take such a step. As a result, sanctions were lifted on four individuals.

In particular, they excluded:

  • oligarch Vyacheslav Moshe Kantor,

  • the sister of billionaire Alisher Usmanov — Gulbahor Ismailova,

  • Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Mikhail Degtyarev.

  • Russian businessman Vladimir Rashevsky.

The latter was removed from the restrictions because his inclusion in the "black list" was allegedly "weakly legally justified."

According to the publication, sanctions were also lifted against three people who are considered dead.

"I think they (the Hungarians — ed.) have come to their senses. They have understood that siding with Putin is not the best option," said a European diplomat, whose name is not being disclosed.
