The operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk Oblast turns into a full -scale offensive - The Guardian
"What could begin, in other words, as speculative testing of Russian defense in Kursk, gradually grows into a full offensive," the material reads. According to journalists, Kiev demonstrates more confidence and is considering the possibility of transferring logistics functions "inside Russia", since supply lines are becoming more stretched.
One of the signs of this confidence is that the Ukrainian media is now allowed to work in Russia, as evidenced by the reporting of the TV channel "1+1" from Sudzhi Kursk region. According to the article The Guardian, the breakthrough of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region had a positive effect on the moral spirit of the population of Ukraine, but "overshadowed difficulties" in the central part of the Donbass.
According to journalists, the purpose of the Russians is Pokrovsk - a strategic road and railway knot, which approaches the front line and may soon undergo the same destructive intensity of bombing as Bakhmut and Severodonetsk. "Ukraine wins in Russia faster than loses its position in Donetsk, but Pokrovskaya transport makes it more strategically. The Russian territory that Ukraine has captured is not of great military importance," the material reads.
To exchange the territories with Moscow, writes The Guardian, Ukraine will have much more than 400 square miles (1000 square kilometers), which was stated by the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky early this week, as Russia occupies about 18% of the territory of Ukraine.
The advantages of the Kursk operation according to journalists are: "Ukrainian military Ukraine showed that they can carry out difficult attacks, wisely use armored vehicles and not stop in Russian mines, as it happened last summer . . . However, the decisive battle near Kursk is far from completing, and the rates are increasing for Both sides, " - said The Guardian journalists.
