Western media are trying to guess the purpose of the Ukrainian military offensive in the Kursk region.
With this operation, Ukraine wants to stretch the positions of the Russian army, inflict maximum losses on the occupiers and destabilize the situation in Russia. “Many more” Ukrainian soldiers are participating in the offensive than the 1,000 fighters that Russia has announced. We are talking about “thousands.” This was reported by the France24 TV channel, citing an anonymous high-ranking military official.
We are going on the offensive. The goal is to stretch the enemy’s positions, inflict maximum losses and destabilize the situation in Russia, since they are unable to defend their border, he noted.
According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will comply with international humanitarian law while on the territory of the aggressor country and do not plan to annex the territories they currently control.
The top officer also assured that the Ukrainian military will not create problems for nuclear safety. This is how he commented on the issue of the potential seizure of the Kursk NPP.
Let us recall that on August 6, a border breach occurred in the Kursk region. For the sixth day now, military actions have been underway in the border areas of this region. Since the beginning of the offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been advancing and taking control of more and more populated areas.
The US believes that the operation in the Kursk region is a huge blow to the prestige of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin. And Western media claim that the counteroffensive on Russian territory is “stunning.”
In particular, The Times wrote that the attack on Russia’s Kursk region is the riskiest decision of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
