Over the past six days, the enemy has not advanced a single meter in the Pokrovsky direction.
In other words, our strategy is working, the commander in chief said in an interview with CNN.
In his opinion, the Kursk operation was successful. Syrsky named several reasons for it: to prevent Russia from advancing from there, to draw Russian forces from other directions, to prevent shelling of the border, and to raise the morale of the Ukrainians.
According to the commander, the Russians were planning to launch a new attack on Ukraine from the Kursk region until Ukraine invaded Russian territory.
Russia has deployed tens of thousands of troops to Kursk, including some of its best airborne assault forces.
Russia’s weakening is also felt in other areas, including a reduction in artillery shelling and the intensity of assaults.
In the conversation, Syrsky said that Russia has a material advantage, so Ukraine is forced to wage war more intelligently and effectively. In particular, to use drones and high-tech weapons.
The mobilized troops undergo a shorter period of training than the commander-in-chief would like. But the dynamics at the front require the new forces to be deployed as quickly as possible.
Delays in U.S. military aid did cause serious setbacks on the battlefield and led to a drop in morale. That remains a problem, Syrsky said.
Trains to Pokrovsk from Lviv and Kyiv will run until September 11 inclusive. From now on, only evacuation flights will be available, and boarding locations will vary for safety reasons, Ukrzaliznytsia reported on September 5.
