The Russian offensive in the Ukrainian province of Kursk is progressing rapidly, with Russian troops advancing in three sectors of the Donetsk front. The city of Pokrovsk, a strategic enclave, is now only eight kilometers away from Russian forces.
The Russian advance has also put pressure on the towns of Toretsk and Vugledar. While the Ukrainian operation in Kursk was intended to force Russia to transfer troops from other fronts, it has not yet achieved this goal.
The Ukrainian army is facing difficulties in defending Pokrovsk and Toretsk, and reinforcements from other sectors have been redirected to these areas. The Russian offensive in Donetsk has gained the largest amount of territory since the end of 2022, with an estimated 477 square kilometers captured.
However, it remains to be seen how long the Russian forces can maintain their rapid pace. The Ukrainian government is hopeful that the operation in Kursk will lead to a reduction in Russian forces in Donetsk, but the situation remains challenging.
Critics within Ukraine are expressing concerns about the impact of the Kursk operation on the defense of Donetsk and the overall progress of the war.
