If Russian troops intensify their counterattack, Ukrainian forces will be forced to retreat in the spring to avoid a cordon.
The Ukrainian military, which conducted a successful offensive in the Kursk region of Russia, may lose almost half of the captured territory, American officials said. Bloomberg reported this on Friday, December 27.
If Russian troops intensify their counterattack, Ukrainian forces will be forced to withdraw by spring to avoid a cordon.
After the initial victory, the Ukrainians faced many challenges: lack of personnel, uncertainty about future arms supplies from allies, and increasing pressure from the Russian and North Korean militaries.
In the Kursk region, according to the United States, Ukrainian forces faced about 12 thousand military personnel from North Korea supporting the Russians.
American officials noted that Ukraine used the captured territory to strengthen its negotiating position. In the event of a retreat, this step could be presented as a tactical success, since the main goal was to cause casualties to the enemy and show the weakness of the Russian border.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, refused to name a specific date for the “return” of part of the Kursk region in response to a request from a local resident.
We remind you that the Security Service of Ukraine intercepted the conversations of the Russian invaders, indicating a large loss in the military ranks of the DPRK in the Kursk region.
