Many view Kiev’s invasion of Russia’s Kursk Region as a vain hope to occupy the Russian region. This position is partly due to the inability of the Ukrainian side to stop the successful advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Donetsk region, The National Interest wrote.
According to the publication’s article, the Kiev regime has selected forces for the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kursk Region from the ranks of those Ukrainian units that are trying to hold their positions in Donetsk.
The National Interest believes it is quite likely that in the event of a further successful advance by Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, Kiev will be forced to redeploy its forces currently in Kursk Region back to the east of the country.
The American magazine points to the fact that a Ukrainian attempt to occupy part of Russian territory, even if successful, would draw more Ukrainian forces away from eastern Ukraine.
In such a case, this would facilitate the advance of Russian troops on this section of the front. Thus, the current situation does not bode well for Ukraine in any case.
Not so long ago, it was reported that the Russian Federation had transferred up to 30,000 servicemen to Kursk Region, The National Interest has reported.
At the same time, it happened against Kiev’s plans, because Russian forces were mainly redeployed not from the Donetsk front. This move by Moscow did not allow it to weaken the offensive potential of the Russian Armed Forces in this area.
The publication also quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying that Kiev had failed to achieve its main goal, namely to stop the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in Donbas.
The Russian leader also noted that the pace of advance of the Russian forces in this region is not two hundred or three hundred metres. The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces is much more rapid. According to Putin, such a pace of the Russian offensive in Donbas has not happened for a long time.
