It is reported that on the 12th, Ukraine announced the progress of "occupying 1,000 square kilometers of land in Kursk Oblast" and stated that they would continue to launch attacks in multiple directions. On the same day, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense sent more troops to Kursk. Foreign media estimated that there are no less than 7 brigades of 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries on the front line in Kursk. Ukrainian combat teams are looking for Russian loopholes to break through, and the Russian army has also begun to "plug the leaks" and sent reinforcements to look for Ukrainian defenses on the battlefield. The contact line between the two sides has reached hundreds of kilometers, and melees have broken out in many places.

Frontline commanders estimate that if the Russian army seeks to annihilate or force back the Ukrainian army, it will need at least twice as much force, and it is far from reaching this force now. Because Russia also needs a lot of soldiers to continue advancing in the Donbas direction, it can only passively defend in the Kursk region. Russian media also mentioned that Russia is very lax in Kursk Oblast, and the frontline areas have not laid mines and anti-tank trenches for a long time, so the Ukrainian army is almost flat here and advances very quickly. Unlike the Russian army, the Ukrainian army can look for breakthroughs everywhere to penetrate and advance, and Russia often does not know where the Ukrainian army is, and the temporary defense line is not solid.

On Thursday, Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Serski announced that the occupation of 1,150 square kilometers of Russian land had been completed. The Ukrainian army advanced 35 kilometers along the Russian fortifications and controlled a total of 82 settlements in Kursk Oblast. This means that in less than 72 hours, another 150 square kilometers of Russian land was "fallen". The vanguard of the Ukrainian army has arrived in the area near the nuclear power plant. According to Russian interrogation records, they believe that the second target of the main force of the Ukrainian army is the city of Kursk, or "occupy as much land as possible" to facilitate future negotiations with Russia.

Sources believe that it is not surprising that the Russian army's defense line collapsed in a certain area of ​​the front line, leading to Ukraine's occupation of more land. Because in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and other regions, the Russian army has built a large number of fortifications and fixed firing points, and mines are almost "everywhere". Ukraine's multiple counterattacks last year and this year had no possibility of infiltration. In contrast, most of Kursk is almost undefended, and the Ukrainian armyNATOUnder the guidance of intelligence, it is easy to break through places where Russian soldiers are not present. However, tens of thousands of Russian troops are scattered on a battle line of more than 300 kilometers, and there are not many troops that can be commanded in each area. This is the difference between the attacker and the defender.

It is worth mentioning that Russia did not respond to these messages. The Russian military report only stated that in the past day and night, the Ukrainian army lost 340 people in the Kursk direction, 19 armored vehicles, and most of the Ukrainian troops were being eliminated. But at the same time, Russia is also evacuating civilians, and a total of more than 10,000 people have been transferred to other places. Some comments said: "Although the situation in Kursk is tense, military operations in Ukraine are Russia's main goal. Now they are worried that if the Russian army sends most of its troops to Kursk, there will be a wave of Ukrainian troops waiting to counterattack on the front line, and they will suffer a great loss."
