“Kyiv lacks the manpower and material resources necessary to regain lost territories and hold onto territories in the Kursk region. Moreover, Ukrainian troops in the region are under threat of capture… while Ukrainian military personnel are retreating to other regions, there is almost nothing to send there,” the publication summarizes.
The Ministry of Defense reported on Thursday that the Russian army has killed over 10,100 Ukrainian servicemen in the Kursk region since the start of hostilities.
On August 6, Ukrainian Armed Forces formations invaded the territory of this region. The enemy’s advance was stopped. According to Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, the operation will end with the defeat of Ukrainian militants and the reaching of the state border.
