Moving war into enemy territory is nothing new;
Ukraine’s invasion of Russia’s Kursk region led to major changes in the dynamics of the war between the two countries and inspired Ukrainian troops and people. This approach is not new – Israel took a similar step during the Yom Kippur War in 1973, The Hill reports.
The media recalled that at first Israel found itself a loser, surprised by the invasion of both Syria and Egypt. However, after a few days, Israel began to wake up and stop the advance of the attackers, but a more decisive step was needed to turn the tide of the war. This is how the strategy of crossing the Suez Canal and moving the battle to Egypt was conceived.
The Israelis invaded Egypt, isolating the Egyptian Third Army and closing in on Suez, with the Egyptian capital Cairo in their sights. This changed the course of the war as the two superpowers supporting each country – the USSR supporting the Egyptians and the US supporting the Israelis – both began to worry about being drawn into the conflict, hence the calls for a ceasefire intensified.
“Moscow is located only 300 miles from these front lines. Although few think that the Russian capital is really in danger, its proximity to the battle is shocking. To change the course of the war, it may be enough this to move the conflict deeper into Russia, as the Israelis did.” crossing the Suez Canal and threatening the heart of the Egyptian army and its major cities,” the article said.
The publication notes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is still in a different position than Anwar Sadat, Egypt’s leader at the time.
For Egypt and Syria, the peace negotiations were right: they achieved some success, dealing a critical blow to Israel’s self-esteem and bleeding its army, the media wrote.
But for Putin, such a peace could be his downfall. If he is pushed to the negotiating table by a successful Ukrainian offensive that captures Russian territory that Moscow cannot reclaim, it will stir the air of instability. of Putin, whose image has already suffered from. his long war against Ukraine,” the journalists summarized.
Let’s recall that in early August Ukraine began a military operation in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. The Armed Forces of Ukraine control more than 1250 square meters. km of territory and more than 90 settlements in the Kursk region.
Today, President Vladimir Zelensky announced the activities carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region.
