The Ukrainian army's early summer counteroffensive of 2023 initially saw significant momentum, but operations were stalled, leading to a resurgence in morale during the recent assault on Kursk.
The euphoria among Ukrainian soldiers, led by Mikhail, was palpable: 'When we were given the order to enter Kursk, I thought only one thing; that we were finally going to take the war to Russia.'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy emphasized the shift in the conflict: 'Russia brought war to others, now it's coming home,' signaling a pivotal change in military strategy.
Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi noted that Ukrainian forces are making significant advances, covering up to three kilometers a day, with some units claiming control of one or two villages daily.
