Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in Kursk region
The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an operation in the Kursk region on August 6, 2024. As of August 27, 1,300 square kilometers and 100 settlements were taken under Ukrainian control, according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. In addition, about 600 Russian soldiers were captured.
Syrskyi also said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' operation in the Kursk region led to Moscow withdrawing about 30,000 troops from the frontline in Ukraine and redeploying them to this area.
A source in the military and political leadership told RBC-Ukraine that the Russian forces had been instructed by Putin to liberate the Kursk region by October 1. However, their task is to do so at all costs, without withdrawing from key areas where Russia is waging an offensive in Donbas.
CIA Deputy Director David Cohen said that Russia could attempt a counter-offensive in the Kursk region, but it would be a tough battle for Russia.
