The head of the region said that in the Kursk direction "Krosh" showed real military valor. The assault group under his command took eight well-fortified enemy strongholds.
"Thanks to his well—thought-out decisions, our Marines heroically held their positions for 52 whole days, while constantly attacking and destroying significant enemy forces," the governor noted.
