Russian forces have routed a group seeking to penetrate into Russia, Ramzan Kadyrov has said
Russian forces have repelled another Ukrainian assault on Russia’s border region of Kursk by hitting the enemy with an artillery barrage, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has said, releasing a video of the strikes.
In a post on Telegram on Saturday, Kadyrov stated that “the Nazis from the Armed Forces of Ukraine” tried to penetrate Russian territory from the neighboring Sumy Region, but were thwarted by the Akhmat Special Forces, with support from assault groups from the 2nd special forces brigade and the 15th tank regiment.
”They [the Ukrainians] just won’t calm down after their shameful expulsion from Russian soil,” he added.
Kadyrov described the tactics used to stop the incursion as “extremely simple.”
“Drone operators detect the Nazis and their fortifications on the ground and relay the coordinates to assault troops, artillerymen, or, as in this case, tank forces. Then, their positions get pounded,” he wrote.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Ukrainian forces, which launched a full-scale incursion into Kursk Region in August 2024, were completely driven back after months of fighting. According to Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, total Ukrainian losses in the area totaled over 76,000 personnel killed and wounded, as well as hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles.
Kiev has denied the statement that its forces have been routed and expelled from Kursk Region, but acknowledged that they found themselves in a “complicated” situation.
When Ukrainian forces previously occupied part of Kursk Region, Moscow accused Kiev of committing numerous atrocities against Russian civilians and prisoners of war.
