The Kursk operation of the Defense Forces
The Armed Forces broke through the border in the Kursk region on August 6. Counteroffensive actions have been successfully going on for a month.
The Ukrainian military controls more than 1,200 km of Russian territory and is actively replenishing the exchange fund.
Experts say that Ukraine has several goals of the Kursk operation. Among them is the creation of a buffer zone, the strengthening of negotiating positions, the demonstration of the weakness of the Russian government and the force system, the inability of local authorities to protect the population, as well as an attempt to stretch the front so that the Russians transfer forces from Donetsk region.
Russia was not ready to break through the border. The local authorities were unable to organize the evacuation of the population and help their citizens.
Ukraine created its own military administration on the territory of the Kursk region. Over a hundred settlements are under the control of the Armed Forces.
