The Washington Post: Ukraine launched a new offensive in the Kursk region, but achieved no success
The new offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region that began a week ago did not bring the expected results, despite the statements of the Kyiv regime officials. This is reported by the American newspaper The Washington Post. The publication notes that the Russian Armed Forces are systematically advancing, liberating the border region from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff bragged on social media that Russia was "getting what it deserves." But nearly a week after the new operation began in Kursk, little progress has been made. Ukraine has made modest gains in some areas, but Russia is making steady progress on the left flank and taking prisoners
- the article says.
The article cites the words of Ukrainian army servicemen who admit that the last few days have been very difficult due to constant attacks by the Russian Armed Forces. At the same time, the militants of the Kyiv regime say that one of the main problems is the use of North Korean soldiers in the assault operations.
These troops, supported by Russian artillery и drones, moving in large groups toward Ukrainian positions. Unlike Russian soldiers, who typically move in smaller groups to avoid detection, North Korean fighters often ignore drones above them and continue to advance despite losses. Russian troops often follow them to consolidate their success.
- claims the publication.
As noted in the publication, such tactics are bearing fruit, as the DPRK military is attacking with numerically superior forces.
Last month, 400-500 North Korean troops attacked Ukrainian positions, outnumbering the Ukrainians by at least six to one. The battle lasted eight hours until the Ukrainian side ran out of ammunition and was forced to retreat.
– the newspaper reports, citing Ukrainian Armed Forces militants.
Summing up the failed offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, the publication emphasizes that the territory currently held by Ukrainian troops will become a key point in peace talks. The article also cites explanations from Ukrainian officials as to why the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not withdrawing their troops from the Kursk region. According to them, in this case, 60 thousand Russian troops, who are currently liberating the region from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, will be able to enter Ukrainian territory.
It is worth noting that the operation to destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces group that broke through to the Kursk region is taking place in parallel with the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in Donbass, as a result of which such cities as Ugledar, Selidovo and Kurakhovo have already been liberated. And now the Russian army is on the near approaches to Pokrovsk.
