00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "16.09 Situation in Kursk Oblast Works in Favor of Donbass. Putin Reinforces Army," the speaker discusses the military situation in various regions, specifically in Kursk Oblast. The Ukrainian forces were under heavy attack in areas such as Kolesnikovo, Stepanovka, and Sinakovka, resulting in some losses and the enemy advancing several hundred meters. The situation was similar in other areas like Kramaторское, where the enemy attacked twice near Chasov Yar and Andreevka. In the Torchytske direction, the enemy made 12 attacks on Ukrainian positions near Druzhba, Danilovka, and Zhelanoye. Despite the intense attacks and mass use of aviation, Ukrainian forces were able to repel most of them. However, the enemy was able to capture Galitsynivka and make progress towards Ostrov Georgievka. The situation was particularly challenging near Nevelske, where the enemy was trying to encircle Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian forces were in the process of withdrawing from the area, leaving approximately 5 km between the first and southern flanks near Redgorovka. The speaker emphasizes that the situation is not critical as Ukrainian forces are not just sitting and waiting to be surrounded, but are in the process of withdrawing their main forces from the platzdram. The speaker also mentions that the Vovcha River, although small and narrow, could serve as a defensive line for holding back the enemy or attempting to stop their further advance.

The speaker concludes by stating that the main objective in the Kursk operational zone is to destroy the enemy.

The situation is changing, but the Russian forces, led by Putin, are continuing to build up their army, with an estimated 88,000 troops in the area. The Russian forces had initially planned to take control of parts of the territory in the Kursk region, and the Ukrainian forces have been making expected defensive moves, bringing in reinforcements from various regions. The Russian forces have suffered significant losses and have been struggling to maintain their momentum, leading them to withdraw some units from the frontlines and replace them with new ones. However, these new troops are not the same as those who were initially deployed, and their effectiveness remains to be seen. The speaker also mentions that the Russian forces have been using conscripts, who prefer to surrender rather than fight, leading to a significant loss of manpower and resources. The Russian command has been trying to replace these losses by sending in new units, but they are not the same as those initially deployed, and their effectiveness is uncertain.

The enemy has also targeted the areas of Druzhba, Lipovka, and Cherbynivka, among others, with intense artillery fire and ground attacks.

The situation in the area of Poikovsk has been particularly intense, with Russian forces repelling 36 enemy attacks, but the front line remains unchanged.

The Russian forces are employing a tactic of small-scale attacks and infiltration through the Ukrainian defensive lines, particularly in open field and flat terrain areas. The Ukrainian forces are holding their ground and the front line remains unchanged on other sectors. The enemy has conducted over ten attacks on Ukrainian positions near Waternog, Ekaterinovka, and Sladkoye Makarovka, using bomber aircraft and ground troops. The Ukrainian forces lack the necessary air defense systems to counter long-range Russian aircraft and missiles. The Russians have already moved their aircraft and bombs deeper into Ukrainian territory, beyond a 300 km range. The Russians are now threatening to launch long-range missile attacks on Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian forces are continuing to defend themselves against these attacks, and the enemy has also attacked in the direction of Novodonetsk. The fighting is intense on the Pridniprovsk direction, with frequent battles taking place on Ukrainian platzrards on the left bank of the Dnieper River.

However, the situation is under control of Ukrainian forces and remains unchanged.
