Ukrainian offensive in Kursk: Russia under pressure!

Kursk, Russland - Ukraine strikes back! In a dramatic turning point in the conflict, the Ukrainian army launched a new offensive in the Russian Course. While the Russian troops constantly penetrate Eastern Ukraine, Kiev shows that it is willing to fight at all costs and defend conquered areas.

On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that Ukrainian armed forces had fresh attacks that were part of a surprising offensive that started in August. Andriy Kovalenko, a high-ranking civil servant of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, showed through in a Telegram post that the Russians in the Kursk region are in great concern. "They were attacked on several fronts, which met them completely unprepared," said Kovalenko.

Ukrainian attacks surprise Russia

The Ukrainian offensive in Kursk has made the Russian armed forces on alert. Andriy Yermak, head of President Wolodymyr Selenskyj's office, reported via Social Media: "Good news from the Kursk, Russia region gets what it deserves." These words show the unbroken fighting spirit of Ukraine, while the Russian troops continue to try to regain control of conquered areas.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on Sunday morning a Ukrainian counterattack with two tanks, a barrier vehicle and twelve armored fighting vehicles took place on the Russian settlement of Berdin. According to the Russians, most of these vehicles were destroyed, and they even published aerial photographs that should show how an Ukrainian artillery unit was eliminated in Kursk.

losses on both sides

The numbers are terrifying: the Russian military claims that they have killed 340 Ukrainian soldiers within one day. Since the beginning of the offensive in August, Ukraine is said to have lost more than 49,000 soldiers, together with 273 tanks and hundreds of other vehicles. In contrast, Ukraine indicates that Russia lost 430,000 soldiers in 2024, while North Korean troops have suffered high losses on the front in Kursk.

The situation remains tense. While the Russian powers are trying to push the Ukrainian soldiers back from the conquered areas in Kursk, they are unable to fully avert the offensive. President Selenskyj has emphasized that the areas held in Kursk could play a decisive role in future peace talks. But while Putin is ready to have talks, he also remains determined to continue the war.

The Russian armed forces continue to penetrate deeply into the Ukrainian territory and have taken over significant areas in the east of the country. With an accelerated advance, they try to take the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk Oblast. The location is tense and Moscow threatened with retaliation after the Ukrainian army has used more Atacms rockets that were provided by the USA.
