In a dramatic escalation along the western border, Ukraine has initiated a significant counterattack in the Kursk region, reigniting tensions as the conflict nears its three-year mark. This military move comes just weeks before the return of US President-elect Donald Trump to the White House on January 20.
Early Sunday, the Russian defense ministry reported that Ukrainian forces aimed to halt Russian troop advances, employing tanks and armored vehicles towards the village of Berdin. While the extent of Ukraine’s gains remains unclear, pro-Kremlin military bloggers suggest a formidable offensive is underway.
Ukrainian officials have opted for discretion, with some lawmakers questioning the need for public updates during active operations. Nevertheless, sentiments of satisfaction permeate Ukrainian leadership, with officials asserting that Russia is facing the consequences of its aggression.
Zelensky has framed the Kursk operation as a strategic advantage for future negotiations, particularly regarding prisoner exchanges. He highlighted the importance of collaboration with Trump and European allies in strengthening Ukraine’s position against Russia.
As both sides continue to exchange fire, the situation remains volatile, with the international community closely monitoring the developments in this critical theater of war.
