Russia has redeployed 50,000 troops to the Kursk region as part of efforts to push back Kyiv forces in the area, weakening Moscow's military presence in Ukraine.
In September, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine announced that Russia had begun counter-offensive actions in the Kursk region to respond to the surprise cross-border incursion of the area launched by Kyiv on August 6.
In a documentary film shown by Ukrainian public broadcaster Suspilne on October 10, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi said that 50,000 Russian troops had been transferred from other fronts, where they had been conducting offensive operations in Ukraine.
"We know that about 50,000 troops from other areas have been redeployed to the Kursk front," said Syrskyi.
