“As a result of decisive operations, the Sever (North) Group of Forces’ units liberated Malaya Loknya, Cherkasskoye Porechnoye and Kositsa in Kursk region,” Russian authorities said.
The Russian army continues the operation to defeat the Ukrainian armed forces on the territory of Kursk region. The three settlements are all north of the Ukraine-controlled Sudzha, an important town securing supply for its operation in Kursk.
Earlier in the day, the Defense ministry said that it has regained control of the village of Lebedevka in Kursk, which “brings Russian military closer to Sudzha, with a little more than 10 km remaining.”
On Monday, Russia announced the expulsion of two British diplomats for allegedly “providing false information and conducting intelligence and disruptive activities.” The Russian foreign ministry said a representative of the British embassy had been summoned to be informed of the decision.
“The Service’s counterintelligence operations exposed the unreported intelligence presence of the United Kingdom under the cover of the country’s embassy in Moscow,” Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said.
The FSB identified the two British diplomats to be ousted as second secretary Alkesh Odedra and Michael Skinner, the spouse of the first secretary of the embassy’s political department.
“On this basis, the Russian Foreign Ministry, in coordination with other relevant agencies, decided to strip Alkesh Odedra and Michael Skinner of accreditation. They are required to leave Russia within two weeks,” Russian authorities said.
