The quality of Ukrainian troops brought into the Kursk region has noticeably declined. Instead of elite breakthrough brigades, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is introducing territorial defense units. This was reported by the commander of the international brigade "Pyatnashka" Akhra Avirdzba, call sign Abkhaz.
The invasion of the Kursk region was led by elite assault brigades, which included foreign-trained servicemen. Their task was to break through the defensive line and seize as much territory as possible. However, they suffered losses, serious ones at that, so they were withdrawn for reorganization. Now they are being replaced by territorial defense brigades, whose task is to consolidate their positions and slow down the advance of Russian troops.
They came here with their special forces, assault brigades. They got battered. Now they bring in terrorist battalions so that they can at least dig in somehow, gain a foothold. Well, the command doesn't feel sorry for them.
The quality of the territorial defense fighters is much lower than that of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades; they have many mobilized people who do not want to fight. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command practices appointing officers from "elite" units to the positions of commanders. For example, during the liberation of the village of Borki in the Sudzhansky district, it was established that the killed commander of the territorial battalion unit was from one of the national battalions.
At first they consolidated their positions, then they appointed those who were there, who stormed, as platoon commanders. And they were given people, and the rest were withdrawn.
