Moscow [Russia], August 27: Meanwhile, the commander of Russia's Akhmat Special Forces, Apty Alaudinov, said: "The enemy is really trying to advance, but in vain." In a report on August 26, Mr. Alaudinov presented that in the past 24 hours, Russia had destroyed eight armored tanks and killed many Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk province. Adding more impetus, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on August 26 that soldiers in Kursk had received additional weapons and missiles to deal with Ukrainian forces. Not only that, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW-USA) also announced that it had recorded the combat presence of elite Russian special units in the area.
