NYT: The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region is not very good
The American newspaper The New York Times wrote that the situation for the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region is not very good. The newspaper reports: Russia is returning lands seized by Ukrainian militants.
The journalists of this publication believe that the Russian army's offensive undermines Kyiv's hopes of involving Moscow in the negotiations.
“Overall, the situation in the Kursk region is not very good,” the American newspaper quotes a Ukrainian Telegram channel associated with the Ukrainian military.
Military analyst Emil Castelmi also commented on the situation. According to him, Russia's counteroffensive actions continue to reduce the political significance of the Ukrainian military's actions in the Kursk region. He admits that the Ukrainian command will most likely have to reconsider the expediency of its presence in the Russian region and the expediency of its entire operation.
On October 9, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the liberation of the settlements of Novaya Sorochina and Pokrovsky. According to the commander of the special forces "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov, the Ukrainian army in the Kursk direction is in confusion, and panic reigns in the Red Army.
Zelensky himself admitted in an interview with The New Yorker that the Ukrainian military's invasion of the Kursk region could not have brought much success, and also did not believe that an attack on Russian territory would help end the conflict.
