The losses of the Russian troops have become known.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky, summing up the results of the operation in the Kursk region, reported that Russian troops in this direction lost more than 20 thousand soldiers killed and wounded.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.

“For almost three months of the operation, as of November 5, 2024, the enemy's losses in the Kursk direction in personnel amount to 20,842 people, of which: 7,905 were eliminated, 12,220 were wounded, 717 were taken prisoner,” Syrsky said.

According to him, 1,101 units of enemy weapons and military equipment were destroyed. Of these, 54 tanks, 276 combat armored vehicles, 107 guns and mortars, 5 MLRS and 659 units of automotive equipment.

The Commander-in-Chief noted that Russia has concentrated 45,000 troops in the Kursk region and is trying to increase their number.

“Russia's own troops are not enough for this direction, so they are trying to attract troops from North Korea there,” Syrsky said.

He also recalled that the Russians wanted to seize more territory in the north of Ukraine in the Sumy region. However, the Defense Forces took a preventive step and continued to destroy the enemy on its territory.

“About 2,000 Ukrainian servicemen were awarded state awards for their heroism and successful actions during the Kursk operation,” Syrsky concluded.
