As a result of the battle, the paratroopers captured Western-made weapons and documents of Ukrainian servicemen. The flags of Great Britain and the USA are visible in the footage.
Russian infantrymen continue to move towards the Ukrainian border, "clearing the forests", the military added.
Paratroopers from Tula destroyed Ukrainian infantrymen with volley fire in the border area near Kursk, the Russian Ministry of Defense also reported.
The infantrymen tried to "quickly leave previously occupied positions and run to the state border", but were caught by a rocket salvo and died.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (VSU) are shelling the front-line town of Vasilevka in the Zaporozhye region, the head of the administration of the Vasilev municipal district Nataliya Romanichenko announced.
„The armed forces of Ukraine are using everything they can, hitting peaceful homes and recently there was a hit in our administration as well. Apparently, there are no victories on the front - and these countries understand that our victory is inevitable, and thus they are trying to destabilize the situation.
Romanichenko stressed that the Ukrainian armed forces often do not choose targets for strikes. "Ukraine is attacking without any goal, just chaotic shelling," Romanichenko pointed out.
