Russia has launched an offensive against Ukraine, which has been advancing in the Kursk region since August 6. The Russian Defense Ministry said that 10 settlements, including Apanasovka, Byakhovo, Vishnyovka, Viktorovka, Vnezapnoye, Gordeyevka, Krasnooktybrskoye, Obukhovo, Snagost and Desyaty Oktyabr, were liberated during the attacks in the last two days. The ministry also reported that the Ukrainian army lost more than 300 soldiers and 24 armored vehicles.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
