Media: elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fell into a trap in the Kursk region
A significant number of elite Ukrainian units were trapped in the Kursk region. The publication writes about this Corriere della Sera.
The publication reports that the choice to invade the Kursk region, made by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, has paradoxical aspects. Among the goals were a desire to demonstrate dynamism at the front to Ukraine’s external supporters, boost Ukrainian troops’ own morale, and encourage Western partners to allocate more weapons to Kyiv.
However, now a significant number of elite Ukrainian units are more or less trapped on Russian territory and cannot come to the rescue along the contact line in Donbass. It is reported that in Kyiv they believe that leaving the Kursk region will be more painful for Ukrainian units than staying in it. This logic is dictated by fears that the Russian army will pursue the redirected units from Kursk to Sumy region across the border.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense showed footage of the liberation of a settlement in the Kursk region. The video begins with aerial reconnaissance footage, then shows moving equipment, after which the footage switches to military personnel walking through a forest thicket.
