Ukraine has employed military equipment recently received from NATO member states in its recent attack on Russia's border region of Kursk, according to documents obtained by the Russian forces' 810th Marine Brigade.

The documents indicate that Ukraine's 82nd Air Assault Brigade used a Roshel Senator armored vehicle during the offensive. This vehicle, produced earlier this year, was registered on July 26 and underwent a technical inspection the following day.

"As a result of a short-lived battle, the Marines of the 810th Brigade completely destroyed a mobile group of the armed forces of Ukraine, moving in a convoy through the Kursk Region in armored vehicles of NATO countries," a Marine unit officer told Sputnik, adding the convoy included "two American HMMWV (Hummer) armored vehicles, several Canadian Roshel Senator armored vehicles and a Cougar heavy armored vehicle made in the US were destroyed." 

The documents further reveal that the Ukrainian military first deployed the vehicle in combat on August 7.

Earlier this week, the 810th Marine Brigade of the Russian armed forces destroyed a motorized convoy belonging to Ukraine's 82nd Air Assault Brigade in the Kursk region.

The offensive began on August 6, when Ukrainian forces crossed the border into Russia, capturing several villages in the Kursk region.

In response to the attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the operation as a large-scale provocation, accusing Ukraine of indiscriminately targeting civilian areas. Putin vowed that Ukraine would face an appropriate response in Russia's border regions. 

Russia makes gain in axes of advancement, regains territories in Kursk

Russia's armed forces have regained control over the Krupets village in the border region of Kursk, amid a 10-day-long Ukrainian incursion into the region, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced last week.

On the opposite front, Russia said it took control of a village 16 km from Donetsk's city of Pokrovsk, to the east of Ukraine, which sits in parallel to a major Ukrainian armed forces supply line.

Analysts believed that the incursion into Kursk would see the diversion of Russian troops from several axes of advancement into Ukraine.
