A "buffer zone" has been formed in the Kursk region, fighting continues

What is happening in the Kursk region?

As of today, the Ukrainian Defense Forces control about 90 sq. km in the Russian Kursk region. Retired Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Romanenko shared new details. According to him, a kind of "buffer zone" has formed there.

Points of attention

  • The fighting in the Kursk region continues, emphasizing the need for comprehensive actions by Ukrainian soldiers to counter enemy plans.
  • Ongoing operations aim to disrupt enemy offensive actions in the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Zaporizhia regions, as warned by Ihor Romanenko.

What is happening in the Kursk region?

Igor Romanenko draws attention to the fact that the fighting in the Kursk direction is not yet over.

There is still about 90 sq. km under control, plus or minus a buffer zone. This is exactly the one that Putin said they wanted to form in Sumy region, and there (in the Kursk direction — ed.) there are intensive fighting.

According to Romanenko, it is now necessary to consider the actions of Ukrainian soldiers in the complex in the Kursk, Sumy, and Belgorod regions — this is not only the direct participation of additional forces of units in these regions, but also actions of an asymmetric order.

The retired Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasizes that war is a very complex phenomenon in which there is rarely a clear victory, but such operations have an indirect effect — they disrupt plans and force the enemy to disperse.

"We can talk about stabilization when the task of stopping the enemy's advance is completed. And the enemy, on the contrary, is planning offensive actions of a larger scale in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Zaporizhia regions...," Ihor Romanenko warned.

On April 14, 2022, the Ukrainian military unexpectedly sank the missile cruiser "Moskva", the flagship of the Russian fleet. Only now it became known that this event actually shocked and frightened the team of former US President Joe Biden.

Points of attention

  • The Biden administration's concerns over the sinking of the cruiser Moskva reflect the delicate balance of power dynamics and political implications in the ongoing tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and the US.
  • The involvement of key military figures like Valery Zaluzhny and General Mark A. Milley in the history of US-Ukraine relations adds layers to the intricate web of international diplomacy and military strategies.

Biden was afraid of Putin's reaction

As journalists learned, in mid-April 2022, American and Ukrainian naval officers were conducting routine reconnaissance.

That's when they noticed something unexpected on their radar screens.

Then the Americans said, "Oh, this is "Moscow," and the Ukrainians immediately replied, "Oh my God. Thank you very much. Goodbye."

In fact, Ukraine destroyed the Russian flagship without consulting its American allies.

Americans were angry that the Ukrainians had not warned them about this; surprised that Ukraine had missiles capable of reaching the ship; and panicked because the Biden administration had no intention of allowing the Ukrainians to attack such a powerful symbol of Russian power.

Sinking of the cruiser "Moscow"

It is worth noting that in the early years of the war, relations between Ukraine and the United States were also complicated by tense relations between the then Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, and his American counterpart, General Mark A. Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
