"To shock Putin": Ukraine has considered several options for attack on the Russian Federation - Bloomberg

About it writes Bloomberg with reference to its sources. According to journalists, as the Ukrainian military became defense, and the Kremlin forces have made minor successes this year, the possibility of cross -border attack was considered for some time before a sudden invasion of the Western Kursk region. The publication writes that Ukraine's partners from NATO are not against the offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region.

However, they are not sure that the Armed Forces will be able to keep the Russian territory, even if the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take weeks to displace them. The material states that surgery in the Kursk region is associated with certain risks for Ukraine. Planning such an offensive is most likely part of a broader strategic plan. It is reported that Ukrainian forces are attacking the energy objects of the Russian Federation.

In addition, the raids of Russian volunteers were conducted in the Belgorod region, who are fighting on the side of Ukraine. In addition, according to journalists, the Ukrainian intelligence stood in the explosion of the freight train last year, when it moved the tunnel northeast of Lake Baikal. But the actions of Ukraine in the Kursk region mark new scale, because the operation involves land forces.

The ISW also reported that the Armed Forces did not control the entire stated territory in the Kursk region. Differences between Ukrainian official reports and observation statements of the Institute are not a refutation of Kyiv's messages, Issa said. Analysts did not include extremely small settlements. In addition, US President Joe Biden first commented on surgery in the Kursk region.
