According to a Ukrainian official, there is evidence it's happening. "Russia has relocated some of its units from both Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine's south," Dmytro Lykhoviy, a Ukrainian army spokesman, told POLITICO Tuesday. Lykhoviy said that the number of Russian troops being diverted is "relatively small," but there's evidence that Russia's moving troops from other parts of Ukraine as well, with no sign of Ukraine's attack in Kursk easing off.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US think tank, said Tuesday that according to Russian military bloggers, Russia has yet to stabilize the situation in Kursk a week into the attack and Ukrainian units are continuing to make advances. On Wednesday, Ukraine's general staff said his soldiers had shot down a $36 million Russian Su-34 bomber jet "during a combat mission" in the Kursk region.
