Ukraine launches the largest attack on the Russian capital and Putin brings in Chechen forces led by Kadyrov
Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared in a video kissing a copy of the Holy Quran during a visit to the Chechen Republic, which sent thousands of soldiers to repel the sudden Ukrainian incursion into Russian territory in the city of Kursk.

Putin took a souvenir photo with the Quran, which he presented to the "Prophet Jesus" Mosque in the city of Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic, which is part of Russia.

The Russian president arrived at the mosque accompanied by the governor of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, and the Mufti of Chechnya, head of the religious administration of Muslims of the republic, Salah Mezhiev.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Chechnya, meeting with the republic's leader and longtime Kremlin ally Ramzan Kadyrov. Newsweek noted that Putin's visit to Chechnya is his first since 2011, and comes as Russian forces are trying to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk region.

Commenting on Putin's visit to Chechnya, the Associated Press reported that the Russian president visited a special forces academy named after him there, and spoke with fighters who will be sent to fight in Ukraine. The agency reported that Putin told soldiers at the Chechen special forces academy that "Russia will be invincible" as long as it has forces like them.

Kadyrov has previously said he has deployed thousands of his troops to fight in Ukraine, and the Associated Press, citing Russian state media reports, said Kadyrov told Putin during their meeting on Tuesday that the Chechen Republic has “tens of thousands” of reservists ready to fight Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces.

In a post on his Telegram channel, Kadyrov spoke about his meeting with Putin and noted that more than 40,000 fighters have been trained at the special forces academy since the Russian president launched a “special military operation” in Ukraine in 2022.

Meanwhile, new reports indicate that Ukrainian forces have destroyed a bridge over the Sim River used to support Russian military logistics in the Kursk region. It is the third bridge to be destroyed, after the Ukrainian army targeted the first bridge 16 kilometers northwest of the main fighting area in Kursk, and the second bridge in Zvannoye.

The third bridge, in the village of Karez in Russia’s Kursk region, is the last major crossing in the region used by the Russian military. Ukrainian attacks on all three bridges could trap Russian forces between the river, advancing Ukrainian forces and the Ukrainian border.

The destruction appears to be slowing Moscow’s ability to respond to the Ukrainian incursion launched on Aug. 6 in Kursk. Russian forces will struggle to deliver supplies and reinforcements to an area of ​​about 700 square kilometers.

Since the incursion into the Kursk region began, the Ukrainian military has captured 1,263 square kilometers, Ukrainian military commander Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi said Tuesday.

After meeting Gen. Syrskyi on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in a video address that the Ukrainian military had achieved “specific goals” in Kursk.

Zelensky has said in recent days that the operation is aimed at creating a buffer zone that could prevent future cross-border attacks on his country, and that Ukraine has captured a large number of Russians whom it hopes to exchange for captured Ukrainians.

Zelensky spoke on Sunday about the ongoing offensive in Kursk, saying: “Our main task now in defensive operations in general is to destroy as much of Russia’s war potential as possible,” the Kyiv Independent reported.

The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on Wednesday, citing the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, that intelligence services from the United States, Britain and Poland were involved in preparing Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

While Ukraine is hailing its successful push deep into Russian territory, Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine threatens to seize another key hub, the city of Pokrovsk.

Russia has continued to press the city of Pokrovsk, one of Ukraine’s main defensive strongholds and a key logistics hub in the Donetsk region, forcing Kyiv’s forces to withdraw and Ukrainian civilians to flee their homes.

Capturing the city would jeopardize Ukraine’s defensive capabilities and supply routes, and bring Russia closer to its stated goal of capturing the entire Donetsk region. Russia wants to control all of Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk, which together form the industrial Donbas region.

Efuaye:
I pity Putin for engaging himself with this needless war.
If care is not taken his soldiers will start deserting him.
