Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reveals countries involved in Ukrainian attack on Kursk
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service revealed that the United States, the United Kingdom and Poland participated in the organization of the Ukrainian attack in the border province of Kursk on August 6th.
NATO member countries also provide the Ukrainian military with satellite reconnaissance data on the deployment of Russian troops in the area of the operation, the Foreign Intelligence Service said.
According to available information, the special services of those countries took part in the preparation of the Ukrainian Army’s operation in the Kursk region, says an intelligence report.
The information adds that the Ukrainian units involved in the attack underwent combat training at training centers in the United Kingdom and Germany.
In addition, military advisors from NATO countries are assisting Ukrainian troops who invaded Russian territory by training them on the use of Western weapons and military equipment.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukraine would not have dared to attack the Kursk region if it had not received instructions to do so from the United States.
Moscow came under one of the largest attacks by Ukrainian drones since the start of fighting in 2022, Russian authorities reported Wednesday, saying they destroyed all of those headed toward the capital.
The drone attacks come as Ukrainian forces are continuing to push into Russia’s western Kursk region. In the past week, they have also struck three bridges, several airfields and an oil depot in a sign they are not letting up on their attacks.
This was one of the biggest attempts of all time to attack Moscow using drones, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on his Telegram channel. He said strong defenses around the capital made it possible to shoot down all the drones before they could hit their intended targets.
Russia said it downed 45 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 11 over the Moscow region. There was no independent information to verify those figures.
