After the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to try to seize the Russian territory on August 6, Gerasimov reassured the world that Russia will defeat the enemy and reach the state border.
Russian Armed Forces have reportedly entered the Kursk city of Sudzha, which is not controlled by Ukraine. There are, however, clashes every day between the two sides, according to Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces, in a statement to Russian media.
"Today there are units of the Russian Defense Ministry in Sudzha," Alaudinov said. "There is an enemy around and in some parts of the city. There are active clashes there every day."
"The enemy cannot say that he completely controls Sudzha, because he does not really control it."

Zelensky's efforts to take over Kursk nuclear power plant "failed"
Ukraine's plan was to seize the Kursk nuclear power plant on August 11 and use the capture as a bargaining chip to commence negotiations with Moscow and reach an ultimatum.
"We received very interesting materials – the whole layout of the operation, which was being prepared, by what forces and what was planned," Alaudinov further explained.
"What can I say: on the 11th [of August] it was necessary to take the nuclear power plant in Kurchatov ... [Ukrainian President] Zelensky's blitzkrieg, which was planned with the seizure of the Kursk nuclear power plant and already entering negotiations with an ultimatum ... failed."
In other words, Ukraine threw everything it had at taking control of the nuclear power facility in Kursk and it was still not enough to overcome Russian forces in the vicinity.
"Most of the equipment has already been destroyed from what was deployed in the Kursk direction," Alaudinov confirmed.
It increasingly appears as though Ukraine's "suicidal" Kursk offensive is part of a United States-led effort to control the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel believes that the Democrat establishment is trying to prop up Kamala Harris and Tim Walz with the Kiev assault since it bears all the earmarks of a U.S.-NATO operation.
"At this stage, nothing likely happens in Ukraine and vis-a-vis Russia unless approved in advance by someone in the U.S.," Ortel told Russian media. "Relevant questions include: exactly who approved these offensive operations and what debate, if any, occurred in Congress before these raids happened?"
Describing the Kursk operation from Kiev as "wag the dog 2.0," Ortel continued that the whole thing "seems a reprise" of then-U.S. President Bill Clinton's assault on one of Sudan's largest pharmaceutical factories in Khartoum back in 1998.
The timing of that U.S. bombing came right as investigations were really starting to take shape into Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. It appears as though Clinton authorized the strike as a distraction from his own malfeasances, which is what we are now witnessing again with the Biden regime and the overarching U.S. political establishment of today.
Ukrainian officials insist this is not the case and that the Kursk attack was aimed at demoralizing Russian forces and diverting them away from parts of the front. However, on August 12, the Ukrainian military admitted to U.S. corporate media that the Russian Armed Forces' advance in Donbass, including near the strategically important locales of Chasov Yar and Torestk, is moving right along smoothly.
