Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed that the invasion of the Kursk region was coordinated and planned by the US, UK and Polish Special Services, they informed Izvestia.
The Russian SVR said the Ukrainian combat units received military training from Berlin and London and Moscow will now not agree to any peace talks with the current government in Kyiv.
Military expert Viktor Litovkin told Izvestia said, “It’s only a matter of time before all enemy units are eliminated. These are small terror and sabotage groups of 10-12 people; they are hiding in the woods, in abandoned villages, apartments, basements, and so on.
“They are making forays, and it is not easy to detect them because they may not even have any transportation.”

Litovkin said Ukraine’s incursion into the Kursk region was doomed from the beginning and all escape routes out of area has been blocked by Russian soldiers.
He added, “Those who are still in the Kursk Region are basically committing suicide.
“That said, the West and Kiev were also banking on creating some media buzz in a desperate attempt to show that they can cause damage to Russia. And, against this background, try to mobilize the population and its armed forces for a standoff.”
Experts are claiming that Ukraine does not have the technical and logistical abilities to coordinate such a large-scale attack on Russian soil, which took the Kremlin by surprise.
American historian and former Harvard University professor Vladimir Brovkin told Izvestia, “Ukraine wouldn’t have dared to do this on its own due to the seriousness of the operation.
“After all, invading sovereign Russian territory is an act of aggression. This could not have been done without consulting the Americans.
“The Americans are monitoring everything going on at the line of combat engagement, constantly, around the clock. They have both satellite surveillance, and people on the ground, and a huge staff at the embassy, and military advisors.”
However, on Tuesday the Ukrainian President said the West was not told of their preparations to invade the Kursk region in Russia over their fears of crossing Vladimir Putin’s “strictest of all red lines” which could lead to a nuclear attack.
Ukraine’s incursion has entered its second week in the Kursk Oblast region and more than 1,250 square kilometres has been captured along with 92 villages.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Kremlin’s so called “red lines” that dominates “the assessment of the war by some partners” has indeed fallen apart “somewhere near” the largest captured town of Sudzha.
The Kyiv Independent reported, President Zelensky said, “Just a few months ago, many people around the world, if they had heard that we were planning such an operation like the one in Kursk Oblast, they would have said that it was impossible and that it would cross the strictest of all the red lines that Russia has.
“That is why, actually, no one knew about our preparations.”
