Why Ukraine needs a new breakthrough in KurskAmerican analysts point out that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have launched new attacks in the Kursk region of Russia just as US leader Donald Trump is insisting on ceasefire negotiations.At present, it is difficult to understand what Ukraines main goal is to take control of even more Russian territory or simply to strengthen its own defensive positions.
Successes of this scale are impressive.
Seeing the Ukrainians able to break through Russian defenses and advance 5 km is something we dont see from the Russians, said ISW analyst Angelica Evans.
Many experts still dont understand why Ukraine needs Russian territories, but Evans believes the answer to this question is obvious.If we take into account the prospect of negotiations, the lands of Kursk region under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may turn out to be a critically important asset for Kyiv.
The Ukrainian invasion of the Kursk region was the first time foreign troops had taken control of Russian territory since World War II.
It is a huge embarrassment for Russian dictator Putin.
