Russia-Ukraine Kursk Conflict: Ukrainian Soldier Reveals Chilling Orders to 'Die in Place' | Watch
A chilling account from a Ukrainian soldier who recently surrendered to Russian forces has shed light on the harsh realities of the ongoing conflict in the Kursk region.
In a revealing interview, Aleksandr Makievsky, a former police officer, described the dire conditions on the front lines, where soldiers were left without food or water for days and faced threats of "friendly" fire if they attempted to retreat.
Makievsky's testimony highlights the brutal orders given to Ukrainian troops to "die in place" rather than withdraw, reflecting the intense pressures and human cost of the conflict.
The incident underscores the growing desperation and deteriorating conditions for soldiers caught in the protracted war between Russia and Ukraine.
President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin â but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia.
While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed âsanctions immunity,â Trumpâs frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trumpâs acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russiaâs economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western allies to seek "regime change" in Russia following a devastating drone and missile strike on Kyiv that killed 16 people, including a six-year-old boy. Over 150 were wounded in one of the most intense attacks in months. The overnight barrage hit a residential tower, causing mass devastation, just as Moscow claimed to have captured Chasiv Yar, a strategic town in eastern Ukraine.
While Ukraine denies full Russian control, analysts admit the battle is âvery difficult.â The brutal assault came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 10-day ultimatum to Russia, threatening further sanctions. As the Kremlin pushes its offensive deeper into Donetsk, Kyiv faces political unrest at home after Zelensky was forced to withdraw a controversial anti-corruption bill under EU pressure. With Russia escalating attacks and Ukraineâs internal crisis deepening, the war enters a volatile new phase.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyinâs death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyivâs broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

Putin delivered a brutal takedown of Ukrainian leadership, declaring that âthe whole of Ukraine is oursâ while mocking Kyivâs military for being only 47% staffed. Putin revealed that Ukraineâs attempted incursion into Russiaâs Kursk region ended in disaster, with 76,000 Ukrainian troops lost. Calling their military strategy âstupidity,â he warned that Russia will now push for a buffer zone.
