Russian military blogger Yury Podolyaka writes: Russian armed forces have begun a “full-front breakthrough” in the Kursk region.
“Kursk region – offensive of the Russian armed forces on 10/10/24: breakthrough on the entire front. The enemy is still here today, but things will change faster than expected,” he said.
Mr. Podolyaka shared that he was impressed by the rapid changes on the battlefield. The military blogger noted the breakthrough of the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet along the route to Sudzha and the cutting off of the front line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
“Judging by the enemy's actions, something happened that put the enemy in a state of shock,” said Yury Podolyaka.

Accordingly, AFU troops in the village of Lyubimovka were cut off from the defense. AFU units stationed in the north and northeast of Olgovka and Sheptukhovka are trying to retreat. Meanwhile, in the Martynovka and Mikhailovka areas, the Russian army is smashing the AFU defense line and also achieving significant tactical successes.
Russian troops begin second stage of active counteroffensive in Kursk region
According to the Mash Telegram channel, the Russian army has begun the second stage of an active counteroffensive in the Kursk region. Specifically, the Russian army has taken control of the village of Lyubimovka and the Sudzha-Korenevo road, which the AFU uses to supply its units.
Russian airborne troops took control of the village of Zeleny Shlyakh without a fight. This was the position the AFU occupied during the first days of the cross-border offensive. “The enemy was shocked. No, not even shocked, but terrified,” Podolyaka commented on the capture of the village on his personal Telegram channel.
Russian troops also took control of Nizhny Klin, the Mash telegram channel reported, citing military bloggers. Most of the Ukrainian troops in the Kursk border area abandoned their positions and fled across the border. In addition, the AFU lost many soldiers and military equipment during the fighting.
When was the Kursk region liberated?
Commander of the Akhmat special forces, Deputy Head of the Political-Military Department of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Apti Alaudinov said that the Russian army could soon liberate the Kursk region.
Accordingly, the Russian army is successfully advancing in the region. General Alaudinov added that the enemy is losing particularly important areas and strongholds every day.
“I will not announce it right now, but I think tomorrow you will hear about a very good result,” General Alaudinov declared.
Special Forces Commander Akhmat also confirmed that the Russian Armed Forces had regained control of the village of Olgovka in the Kursk region.
AFU is short of weapons
The AFU is facing a “huge shortage” of military equipment, Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky said.
Mr. Zelensky stressed that the Ukrainian army needs support from Western partners and equipment assistance before winter sets in. During a meeting with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, Mr. Zelensky also noted the “difficult situation in the east.”
Earlier, the head of one of Ukraine's UAV manufacturing companies, Urkspecsystems, Dmitry Khasapov, complained that the Ukrainian army is facing a shortage of drones and Kiev does not have enough money to buy them.
In September 2024, Mr. Zelensky admitted that there were problems with weapons and equipment of the AFU brigades near Pokrovsk. In particular, the AFU did not receive all the Patriot systems as promised.
Ugledar loss leaves AFU in shock
The loss of Ugledar has become a psychological shock for AFU soldiers. This was reported by the French newspaper Le Figaro.
According to Le Figaro, after the fall of Ugledar, the morale of AFU soldiers is very low. The number of deserters has increased significantly. Meanwhile, major battles are taking place in Donbass, as the Russian army gains the initiative on the battlefield.
“The result is a terrible vicious circle: the more deserters there are, the more the Russians gain the upper hand. The more the Ukrainians retreat, the more active the desertions become,” Le Figaro wrote.
In early October 2024, the Russian army took control of Ugledar in the Donetsk region.
Former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor commented that the eastern front of the special operations area is increasingly collapsing. According to him, there are few obstacles for the Russian army to cross the Dnieper River and advance to Kiev.
