MOSCOW, November 6. /TASS/. Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky is preparing the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Russia’s borderline Kursk Region, Verkhovna Rada lawmaker Maryana Bezuglaya said on her Telegram channel on Wednesday.
The lawmaker made this conclusion from a series of Syrsky’s posts on Facebook (banned in Russia, owned by Meta Corporation deemed as extremist in Russia) where he discussed the results of the Ukrainian army’s attack on the Kursk Region and claimed that it had diverted Russian forces from other frontline areas.
"Syrsky has made remarks indicating the withdrawal of troops from the Kursk Region," she said, stressing that over that period the Kiev forces had left some territories in the Donetsk and Kharkov Regions.
The Ukrainian lawmaker also proposed that Syrsky himself stay in the Kursk Region. "And we will breathe a sigh of relief," she wrote.
Bezuglaya has long been criticizing the Ukrainian army’s chief amid Kiev’s failures on the frontlines and heavy casualties.
The Ukrainian military launched a massive attack on the Kursk Region on August 6. A federal emergency is in effect in the region. Borderline area residents are evacuating to safe places.
As the Russian Defense Ministry reported, the Kiev regime has lost more than 29,800 troops and 184 tanks since the start of fighting in the Kursk frontline area.
Russian forces continue operations to destroy Ukrainian armed formations in the borderline Kursk Region.
