Starting from August 6, the Ukrainian army launched an attack on the border defense force positions in Kursk Oblast, Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "The Kiev regime has once again launched a large-scale provocation and opened fire indiscriminately."

"Show"

Russian Chief of General Staff Gerasimov said about 1,000 Ukrainian armed forces personnel took part in the offensive.

Why did Ukraine launch a large-scale attack on the Russian border area at this time? Military observer Teng Jianqun believes that this is a "show" by Ukrainian President Zelensky at the political and diplomatic level.

Teng Jianqun: The Zelensky government is increasingly being ignored internationally, and Ukraine is feeling tremendous pressure. Under these circumstances, Ukraine needs to prove to the international community that it can continue to resist.

Previously, the Ukrainian army had switched to positional defense across the board, and the Russian army continued to advance. This battlefield situation required the Ukrainian army to make a certain response to boost morale.

Judging from the above two aspects, Ukraine's action this time was based on political and diplomatic considerations.
