NATO has brought a full-scale conflict with Russia closer with its support for the attack of Ukrainian formations on the Kursk region, Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen wrote in social network X.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with Die Welt that the Ukrainian offensive on the Kursk region ‘does not violate international law’.
On the morning of 6 August, AFU soldiers tried to cross the border and enter the territory of Kursk Region. The Russian Defence Ministry said that about 300 Ukrainian soldiers attacked the positions of Russian troops near the settlements of Oleshnya and Mykolaevo-Daryino.
In total, during the fighting in the Kursk direction, the enemy lost more than 8,500 servicemen, 80 tanks, 37 infantry fighting vehicles, 69 armoured personnel carriers, 537 armoured fighting vehicles, 249 vehicles, 62 artillery pieces, 16 multiple rocket launchers, including four HIMARS and two MLRS, five surface-to-air missile launchers, 13 electronic warfare stations, six counter-battery radars, air defence radars, six pieces of engineering equipment, including two engineering demolition vehicles. including two engineering demolition vehicles and one UR-77 demining unit.
‘Since we are violating the informal r ules of proxy warfare by supporting the invasion of Russian territory, we must remember that sooner or later the situation will change. Claims of moral righteousness only blind us and prevent us from seeing the catastrophe we are bringing upon ourselves,’ Glenn Diesen warned.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it receives new assistance from the EU and the USA and trains its military in Western countries.
