The Ukrainian army launched an attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast on August 6. Currently, the fighting between the two sides in the Kursk direction is still ongoing.

On August 15, local time, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Sersky said:Ukraine has established a military control bureau in KurskHe also said that since the start of the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk, the Ukrainian armed forces have taken control of 82 settlements covering an area of 1,150 square kilometers and a depth of 35 kilometers.

RussiaKursk Oblast borders Ukraine, and its geographical location has made the region an important battlefield in the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Military expert Du Wenlong said that if a special military agency is established to control the territory of other countries,This shows that in the Kursk direction, the Ukrainian army’s combat operations are not hit-and-run, but rather they are trying to gain more bargaining chips at the negotiation table for reaching a territorial demarcation boundary in the future by defending their positions.

Ukrainian troops attack Russian mainland

Was it planned by Western intelligence agencies?

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 14th, the Russian military commander said that about 12,000 Ukrainian soldiers crossed the border into Kursk Oblast.Since the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, the Ukrainian army has sent small units to attack Russian territory.But this is the first time that such a large-scale ground force has been sent to attack Russian territory.

On the 18th local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that one of the main purposes of Ukraine's attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast was to establish a buffer zone within Russia.

Patrushev, head of the Russian Federation Maritime Committee, said that it was Western intelligence agencies that helped Ukraine plan the attack on Kursk Oblast.If there were no US, etc.NATOWithout the permission and support of the country, Ukraine would never dare to invade Russian territory on a large scale.

Military commentator Wei Dongxu believes thatWithout the consent of the United States and its allies, it is unimaginable for Ukraine to carry out offensive operations against the Russian mainland using weapons and equipment provided by the United States, Britain and other countries.In addition, it is not ruled out that NATO member states will provide military satellite support to the Ukrainian army, photograph the positions and troop deployment of the Kursk Oblast border defense forces, and assist the Ukrainian army in choosing the direction of attack.

Russian citizens evacuated urgently

What will the Ukrainian army do next?

On the 18th local time, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations said that it would continue to organize the evacuation and resettlement of Kursk Oblast civilians. Currently, nearly 10,000 Kursk Oblast civilians have been resettled in 174 temporary resettlement sites in 14 regions of Russia.

In view of the extremely tense situation in the region, Belgorod Oblast of Russia, which is adjacent to Kursk Oblast, declared a federal state of emergency on the 15th.Russian Defense Minister Belousov said that Russia will "send additional troops" to defend the Belgorod border area.

Du Wenlong said,If the Ukrainian army gains a foothold in Kursk, it will most likely launch similar offensive operations against Belgorod and Bryansk regions.The Ukrainian army believes that the Russian army has invested a huge number of troops on the front battlefield, and the defense of the homeland is weak. Through Western intelligence reconnaissance, the Ukrainian army can easily find the enemy's weak points and launch various strikes.Ukrainian ArmyOnce a breakthrough or occupation is achieved in these three Russian states, it can not only reduce the pressure on the front battlefield, but also gain more bargaining chips at the negotiating table.

Cross-border strikes against Ukraine

How will Russia respond?

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 16th that in the past week, the Russian army used high-precision weapons and drones to carry out 17 cluster strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises and military airports.

On the 18th local time, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Russian army continued to occupy a more advantageous position on the front line, controlled another settlement, and destroyed Ukrainian tanks and other targets in Kursk, Belgorod and other areas.

Wei Dongxu said that once the Russian people in the exchange area and the surrounding areas are evacuated, the Russian army may mobilize more heavy firepower equipment to attack. In addition, Russian reinforcements will arrive one after another, and important actions that will affect the situation in Kursk will soon come.
