Russian leader Vladimir Putin has claimed that his troops in Kursk Oblast Russia had crossed into Ukrainian territory.
However, Ukraines defence forces have denied this claim.
Source Putin, as quoted by Russian media Major Dmytro Lykhovii, spokesperson for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on Facebook Quote from Putin The latest information I received just an hour ago last night, fighters of the 810th Brigade crossed the border between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, entering enemy territory.
Details The General Staff stated that, amid general sour moods on Ukrainian social media, Russians are trying to spread additional disinformation, such as claims of advancements through Ukrainian defences in Kursk Oblast and mass incursions into Ukrainian territory.
These statements do not correspond to reality, Lykhovii emphasised.
Lykhovii stated that as of 1500, there had been 12 combat engagements in Kursk Oblast since the start of the day, three of which were still in progress.
One of the repelled attacks occurred about 0600, when a Russian unit attempted to advance towards the Ukrainian state border in the direction of NikolaevoDaryinoZhuravka.
Quote from Lykhovii The attempt was unsuccessful.
There is no reason for panic.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to conduct defensive operations in Kursk Oblast, holding several hundred square kilometres of the aggressor countrys territory.
Do not fall for Russian psychological operations.
