Ukraine's recent offensive in the Kursk region marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict, with Kyiv claiming control over over 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory, demonstrating unexpected military capabilities.
The move into Russian territory caught the Kremlin off guard, leading to emergency measures, including the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of civilians from border areas, showcasing the high stakes of Ukraine's military actions.
President Zelenskyy confirmed in a recent address that Ukrainian forces are actively engaged within Russian territory, with estimates suggesting they now control 74 settlements in the Kursk region.
Military analysts have noted that the land gained by Ukraine is almost equivalent to the total land Russia has advanced upon in Ukraine throughout this year—a striking reversal in territorial gains.
