In the Kursk region, the active phase of hostilities began with the participation of veterans of the Wagner PMC. According to recent reports, former soldiers of a private military company have joined a number of units of the Russian Ministry of Defense and have already begun carrying out combat missions to eliminate the enemy.

One of the key units participating in operations in the Kursk region is the Aida group from the Akhmat Special Forces of the Russian Armed Forces. It should be noted that this unit should not be confused with the Russian Guard unit of the same name. It was previously reported that a significant part of the fighters of the Aida group are veterans of the Wagner PMC with rich combat experience.

Veterans of the Wagner PMC are known for their participation in various conflicts around the world, including Syria and Africa. Their addition to operations in the Kursk region could significantly strengthen the position of Russian forces in the region and increase the effectiveness of combat operations.
