This is not about Ukraine's desire to seize Russian territory. We're confident the world understands this is not about annexing parts of Russia. We don't need that territory. We just need them to get out from ours,
We are not we're not being overly excited, overly jubilant, because everybody understands that is still the war .... but what happens, and what continues to develop in Kursk, is going to really have a huge impact on how this war continues to go,
It's scary to have helicopters flying over your head all the time,
The main task is, of course, for the defense ministry to dislodge the enemy from our territories,
We continue to conduct an offensive operation in the Kursk region. Currently, we control about 1,000 square kilometres of the territory of the Russian Federation,
Russia must be forced to make peace if Putin wants to fight so badly,
It is possible the Ukrainian leadership wants to demonstrate to Russia, but above all to the West, that Ukraine is not at the end of its tether,
Russia is the main beneficiary of an extension of the front line into Russian territory, as it further overstretches Ukraine's armed forces,
There have been no signs that Russia is moving troops from the east to stop the Ukrainian advance,
Ukraine cannot continue to fight this war in the same way it has been for the past two years. It just simply doesn't have the manpower or weapon stores to do so,
I see this operation in Russia as Ukraine's attempt to slightly shift its strategy,
I don't think anyone wants to see this escalate to a conflict where Ukraine is sending troops toward Moscow, or flying drones or planes in that direction,
Russia is much bigger, and has a larger military, and Ukraine can't continue fighting Russia on equal footing,
My bet is that we'll see increased operations like this, but that Ukraine will try to keep them a surprise, as it did with this Kursk operation,
The troops are fulfilling their tasks. Fighting continues actually along the entire front line. The situation is under our control."
Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Belovsky district 'entered' the district territory on quad bikes. At least two such groups were seen by local residents,
The enemy will certainly receive a worthy response, and all the goals facing us will, without a doubt, be achieved,
Ukrainians see a prospect of a long war, a difficult war, a bloody war,
Heavy tracked vehicles are being loaded onto automobile trailers for prompt delivery to the areas where Ukrainian Armed Forces formations are being blocked and to ensure the safety of the road surface,
Russia will feel the need to issue a very tough response, something huge, to show to the world that it is omnipotent and that something like Kursk will not go unpunished,
