After Ukraine's surprise incursion into the Kursk region last August, Russia has asserted that its troops have fully recaptured the territory. Ukrainian officials, however, claim that fighting continues in the area. The initial incursion was a calculated and secretive effort by Ukrainian forces, which saw rapid success and a significant territorial gain. The battle for Kursk not only represents a shift on the battlefield but also holds potential implications for negotiations surrounding the ongoing conflict, particularly concerning leverage in future talks between Ukraine and Russia.
Nearly nine months after Ukraine's surprise incursion into Kursk, Russia claims to have fully reclaimed the territory, while Ukraine denies this and asserts ongoing fighting.
The Ukrainian incursion into Kursk was a strategically significant operation, conducted secretly and swiftly, leading to considerable gains for Kyiv in the conflict.
