Since the Ukrainian army attacked the Kursk region on August 6, they have occupied 1,250 square kilometers of land and 92 villages and towns.

However, the German newspaper Die Welt published an article on its website stating that this might not be a good thing for the Ukrainian army.

main reason:

First, in the short term, Western countries' willingness to quickly provide Ukraine with urgently needed weapons will decrease rather than increase. After all, Western countries do not want the war to escalate.

Second, Ukraine is unlikely to be able to hold on to the occupied territory. Fighting away from home will pose a big problem for logistics and equipment support. The weapons needed in the Ukrainian region were sent to Kursk.

Third, the operation in Kursk weakened the Ukrainian army's front-line defense.

Fourth, the Kursk battle will force Russia to withdraw troops from other regions to ease local pressure, but Ukraine's calculations have been partially frustrated. The transfer of elite troops to Kursk will be detrimental to operations in eastern Ukraine.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, an American think tank also believed that the Ukrainian army's attack on Kursk was a "major strategic mistake."

Some military experts even predicted that the 6,000 Ukrainian troops entering Kursk might be surrounded by Russia.

What will happen in the end? Let's wait and see!
