And showed the West that the Kremlin's "red lines" are just blusters.
The Kursk military operation has been going on for a month now, during which the Armed Forces of Ukraine control about 1,300 km2 of Russian territory. Sudzha, an important gas hub for the export of "blue fuel", is also under control, writes The Telegraph. In addition, a military administration has been created in the Kursk region, and there are still reinforcements in the Sumy region that can be transferred to help at any time.
Experts say that, from a moral point of view, this move was successful for Kyiv, but from a military point of view, not everything is so smooth. The August events in the Kursk region seemed to completely repeat the summer counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region in 2022. Both of these events united the Ukrainian forces and raised morale.
The new military operation united the Armed Forces of Ukraine around Syrsky. The Kursk operation showed that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a worthy successor to Zaluzhny. This operation also showed the West that "red lines" are just blusters that the Kremlin often uses to scare people. Constant attacks on oil refineries in the Russian Federation and holding on to new territory forced the West to no longer raise the issue of territorial concessions.
