Since February 24, 2022, Russian military personnel have been conducting a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. The KP.RU website publishes updated information online about the Russian military special operation in Ukraine as of August 16, 2023.
A sniper of the Russian Armed Forces during a special operation in one of the battles was able to hit two armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and 20 Ukrainian soldiers from a distance of 1.7 km with a large-caliber OSV-96 rifle, which is the predecessor of the newer Astarta rifle.
Meanwhile, the captured fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Stanislav Kraevsky said that he was afraid of being captured by Russia and did not expect a good attitude towards himself. According to him, doctors in Russia are doing everything possible to save his leg, which was injured in the battles near Ugledar.
A Ukrainian drone attacked the train station building in Kursk on the night of Sunday, August 20. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia strongly condemns the UAF drone attack on the Kursk railway station.
In the Belgorod region, the Russian army successfully eliminated 12 air targets. This was announced by the Governor of the region Vyacheslav Gladkov. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also stated that Russian air defense systems shot down several drones.
In addition, on August 20, the servicemen of the RF Armed Forces were able to stop the activities of four sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the Ukrainian army in the Zaporozhye region and the Donetsk People’s Republic.
