Ukrainian forces have intensified their offensive against Russian troops, striking multiple targets and capturing significant territory. On August 31, Ukrainian troops reported eight strikes against Russian troop concentrations and one on an ammunition depot, amidst ongoing missile and air strikes from Russia. A notable incident involved Junior Sergeant Maksim, who led a successful operation in the Kursk region, resulting in the capture of 28 Russian soldiers who surrendered under the threat of a tank. General Syrsky confirmed that Ukraine has captured around 594 Russian prisoners during this offensive, which is part of a broader campaign that has seen Ukraine claim control over 500 square miles of Russian territory. Despite these gains, Russian forces continue to advance near Pokrovsk, posing a potential threat to Ukrainian logistics. The situation remains dynamic as both sides adjust their strategies in response to the evolving conflict.
