[Global Times special correspondent in Russia Sui Xin Zhang Xiaodong Liu Yupeng Qingmu] The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 23rd that the Russian army continued to take action to destroy the Ukrainian armed forces scattered in Kursk Oblast in western Russia. Within 24 hours, the Ukrainian army lost up to 400 soldiers and 17 armored vehicles. In the past two days, Russia has accused Ukraine of attacking its ferries and nuclear power plants. The Russian ambassador to the United States said that Russian President Putin has "made a decision" to respond to the Ukrainian army's attack on Kursk Oblast. Tensions have lasted for more than two weeks since Kursk was attacked by a large-scale Ukrainian army on August 6. Some analysts believe that this attack is likely to continue for a long time. With the current slowdown in the Ukrainian offensive, Russia's offensive against the city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine may also make progress. Although Ukrainian media previously revealed that Ukraine plans to start peace talks with Russia this fall, against the backdrop of tensions in Kursk, Russia has frequently heard voices that peace talks are hopeless.

IAEADirector General to visit Kursk Nuclear Power Plant next week

On the 23rd, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova accused the Ukrainian army of attempting to attack the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in Kursk Oblast, Russia, calling it an "act of nuclear terrorism." This is the second time Russia has made relevant accusations in two days. Russia's "Viewpoint" reported that from the evening of the 21st to the early morning of the 22nd, the Ukrainian army attempted to use drones carrying ammunition to attack the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. Russian law enforcement agencies said that the Ukrainian drone had been shot down. Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said on the 22nd that Russia informed the agency of the matter that day and that he planned to visit the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant next week to assess the situation on site and understand the safety of the nuclear power plant. In response, Putin said: "I hope they will eventually do this."
