The Kursk region of Russia has become a pivotal location in the ongoing conflict between Russian and Ukrainian forces. After months of absence, I returned to this region to gain an on-the-ground perspective of the situation. In an exclusive interview with Lieutenant General Apti Aronovich Alaudinov, Commander of the "Akhmat" Special Forces,Deputy Chief of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and a “Hero of Russia”, I delved into the complexities of the conflict, the state of the frontline, and broader geopolitical implications.

The Current State of the Kursk Frontline

Lieutenant General Alaudinov provided an update on the situation in the Kursk direction. According to him, Russian forces have regained control of a significant portion of the territory initially occupied by Ukrainian forces after their incursion into Russian territory.

“The situation is basically under control,” he stated. “The enemy is removing its military reserves from all directions to maintain a foothold here, but they are suffering huge losses. Every day, we are gradually pushing them away.”

General Alaudinov detailed recent counter-offensives by Ukrainian forces, including a significant operation near Novosotnitskoe and Berdin. Over two days, Russian forces reportedly destroyed 26 Ukrainian vehicles, including tanks and armored vehicles, while eliminating or capturing all personnel involved.

When asked about the timeline for the complete removal of Ukrainian forces from the region, Alaudinov emphasized the unpredictability of the conflict. He expressed initial optimism that the war or “Special Military Operation (SMO)” as he called it, would conclude by December but acknowledged that Ukrainian resistance persists, potentially driven by strategic goals tied to future negotiations.

The Role of International Influence

Alaudinov attributed Ukraine’s prolonged resistance to external support, particularly from the United States. He suggested that without American financial and military aid, Ukraine would struggle to sustain its operations. Discussing former U.S. President Donald Trump’s statements about ending the conflict, Alaudinov speculated that Trump might pursue peace to distinguish himself from the Biden administration, which he believes bears responsibility for the situation.

“Trump is not a friend of Russia,” he remarked, “but he is a reasonable person who sees the global implications of this conflict. He may work to end it to avoid a broader escalation.”

A Message to the Ukrainian Soldier

The General extended a direct appeal to Ukrainian soldiers, emphasizing a shared cultural and historical bond between Russians and Ukrainians. “We are not enemies to each other; we are brothers,” he said. Alaudinov urged Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms, offering safety and acceptance to those who surrender.

He also criticized Ukrainian leadership for what he described as their willingness to fight “until the last Ukrainian” under pressure from Western powers.

NATO, History, and Sovereignty

The conversation touched on NATO’s expansion and its role in the conflict. Alaudinov reiterated longstanding Russian grievances, arguing that NATO's approach violated agreements made during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He drew parallels between current tensions and the Cuban Missile Crisis, urging Western audiences to consider how they might react to similar encroachments on their borders.

“Russia is not an aggressor,” he asserted. “We are defending the interests of our country and striving to remain independent and sovereign.”

Final Thoughts and Future Coverage

This interview provided a rare insight into the Russian perspective on the conflict, as articulated by a top-ranking general. In the coming days, I will continue reporting from the Kursk region, documenting the realities of war through the lens of the soldiers, commanders, and civilians impacted by the ongoing battles.

For those seeking an unfiltered view of the conflict, I urge you to explore multiple sources and question the narratives presented by mainstream media. Stay tuned for more reports from the frontline, and as always, support independent journalism.
