Reference News reported on August 9According to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency on August 9, Lebanese political scientist Sajis Abu Zeid told the Satellite News Agency that the Ukrainian government is trying hard to enhance its prestige and boost the morale of the Ukrainian army.
"These actions taken by the Kiev regime to please NATO and the United States, as well as the attack by Ukrainian forces on the Kursk region, are attempts to obtain more European and American aid so that the Kiev regime can continue its war," the expert said.
The expert expressed regret that Ukraine's military operations against Russian civilians had not been condemned by the West, the report said.
He believes that the West is trying to distract Russia with the Ukrainian counteroffensive in order to eliminate any positive role Russia might play in events in the Middle East.
Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, said on August 7 that at 5:30 a.m. on August 6, more than a thousand Ukrainian troops launched an attack with the goal of capturing villages and towns on the front line of Kursk Oblast. Gerasimov pointed out that the Ukrainian army's advance into Russia had been cut off. On August 8, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued a notice that 660 Ukrainian troops who attempted to break into Kursk Oblast were killed or injured in two days, and 82 armored vehicles were destroyed.
