Military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov explains that it is important for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk direction to focus not on maintaining settlements, but on controlling strategic communications and roads.
This opinion was expressed by a military expert on Radio NV.
In his opinion, the maneuver war waged by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this region does not require constant control over territories that can often change hands. The main task is to maintain the key points that control the approaches towards strategic directions. He adds that Russian seizures of individual settlements do not have a significant impact on the outcome of the operation.
Expert Roman Svitan believes that the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region is already justified. He noted that if Russia had transferred the reserves now located in the Kursk region to the Donetsk region, then the situation for Ukraine there could have been more difficult.

Putin is betting that the North Koreans will retake part of the Kursk region.
“Kursor” also reported that the Russian Federation is trying to lure the Ukrainian Armed Forces into a trap in the Kursk region.
Military observer Vasily Pekhno reported that a “new phase” of operations has begun in the Kursk region, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are on the defensive. In their opinion, this area has become a kind of “training camp” for the Ukrainian army, where units are trained before a possible counteroffensive in 2025. In turn, Russia seeks to lure Ukrainian troops into a trap.
