The Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, American General Christopher Cavoli, reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have indeed entered the Russian Belgorod region, thus expanding their presence on enemy territory.
Points of attention
- General Cavoli highlights the ongoing confrontation in the area with varying success, emphasizing the importance of this development.
- The Ukrainian army is focused on improving their capabilities by recruiting and training new soldiers weekly to strengthen their position.
Kavoli described the situation in the Belgorod region
According to the general, as of today, significant forces hold a considerable — albeit reduced, but still significant — portion of territory in the Kursk region of Russia.
And they (the Armed Forces of Ukraine — ed.) hold very advantageous defensive positions further south, in the Belgorod region... The Ukrainians launched a small counteroffensive on Russian territory (in the Belgorod region) a few weeks ago. So the confrontation is still ongoing in this area with varying success.
