Ukraine's Offensive in Kursk: Capturing Territory, Pushing Russia to Negotiations

The Ukrainian offensive in the Russian region of Kursk has seen significant progress, with the capture of over 1000 square kilometers and 82 settlements. The advance has reached 35 kilometers deep into Russian territory.

The aim of the offensive is to move Russia to negotiations. In response, Russia has announced the evacuation of five places in Belgorod and blocked access to places near the Ukrainian border.

The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has expressed interest in exchanging prisoners with Russia. The offensive is the largest attack on Russia since World War II.

It has forced hundreds of Russian soldiers into captivity and has led to the destruction of strategic bridges and logistics centers. The Ukrainian army is consolidating its gains in Kursk and preparing for a counterattack from Russia.

The offensive has changed the narrative of the war and shown Ukraine's military capabilities, as well as the western reluctance to provide long-range weapons. Despite the losses suffered by Russia, the fighting continues, and the outcome of the conflict remains uncertain.
