Ukrainian forces have entered the Russian territory 500 kilometers

This time, the Ukrainian forces have really entered the Moscow Military District!

According to a report by "Defense Express," there was a strong explosion at the Tver railway hub in Russia, destroying key infrastructure at the station. The explosion occurred at 5 am, and the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency's special forces carried out this operation.

The Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency's special forces disguised themselves and infiltrated into the Russian territory approximately 500 kilometers, entering the Tver region under the Moscow Military District.

The 10th unit of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency, known as the "Shaman," is specialized in conducting infiltration operations along the Russian border, carrying out sabotage and attacks within Russian territory. Since the war began, they have done many significant deeds.

This includes on August 17, at the highway in the Kursk region of Russia, using FPV drones to ambush a Russian high-ranking officer's convoy. This resulted in serious injuries to Major General Yedudar Abachev, Deputy Commander of the Northern Group, who has been sent to Moscow for treatment. It is reported that his arms and legs need to be amputated.

The target of this time for the Ukrainian forces is the Tver railway hub system. The military complex of the Moscow Military District and the Leningrad Military District, fuel centers, logistics centers, and new recruit training bases. They transport fuel, ammunition, personnel, and supplies to the Ukrainian battlefield.

All of these must pass through the Tver railway hub system, which is a key logistics node for hundreds of thousands of Russian troops on the Ukraine front. This is the vital point of the Russian army.

The Russian border guards and the Russian Federal Security Service are definitely negligent this time. Letting the Ukrainian special forces carry a lot of explosives and weapons cross the border, and even go through 500 kilometers inside Russia. Even evading the Russian security and police forces, entering the internal part of the critical Tver railway hub system.

At 5 am, the Ukrainian special forces avoided the Russian security forces, installed explosives under multiple oil tank cars parked on the Tver railway hub tracks, and completely detonated the oil train. Soon, a violent explosion and fire began to violently devour the entire railway hub infrastructure.

This is a textbook-level remote demolition attack by special forces. The main facilities of the Tver railway station were all destroyed by fire. The station basically lost its ability to continue operating.

Railway infrastructure has always been a key lifeline for the Russian army. The severe damage to the Tver railway hub forced the Russians to reorganize material transportation, causing a decrease in transportation efficiency, directly affecting the offensive of the Russian troops on the front line.

The Ukrainian Shaman special forces also have their failures. On August 18, the Russian security service's special forces blocked and annihilated a six-person Ukrainian special forces team in the Bryansk forest. These people were dressed in ordinary clothes, carrying US-made AR-15 assault rifles with silencers, silenced pistols, and explosives.

Russian forces have eliminated 340,000 Ukrainian soldiers this year

Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov announced that by 2025, Russian forces have eliminated 340,000 Ukrainian soldiers and destroyed 65,000 pieces of equipment.

Russian forces have received 22,725 motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles this year, and will receive another 12,186 motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles during the year. This year, the Russian forces have struck 146 key target facilities in Ukraine.

General Staff Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, Grigory Gerasimov, announced that since March this year, during the summer offensive, Russian forces have captured over 3,500 square kilometers of land and 149 settlements.

The Russian long-range strike forces have conducted 76 strikes on key military facilities and defense industry complexes in Ukraine. Russian missiles and drones have focused on targeting Ukrainian missile and long-range drone manufacturers.

Ukraine, on the other hand, stated that since March, it has lost about 2,346 square kilometers of territory and 130 settlements. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that from January to August 2025, Russian forces had a total of 290,000 casualties across the entire theater of operations, an average of 36,250 per month.

Media outlets Meduza and Mediazona reported that in 2023, the Russian forces suffered 50,000 deaths (not counting injured), 93,000 in 2024, and 56,000 since 2025.

From the overall battlefield, the Red Army City is highly unlikely to fall before December. The Battle of Red Army City is likely to last until after 2026. The Russian forces are extremely afraid of urban combat, as large numbers of personnel casualties and equipment losses are too much for them to bear. The Russian forces will continue to bomb for some time, continuously weakening the Ukrainian defenders.
