What the Ukrainian Armed Forces have achieved in the Kursk region over the past six months.

In the past six months, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have demonstrated remarkable success in the Kursk region. This area has become one of the key points of resistance against Russian aggression, and the actions of the Ukrainian military have not only bolstered the army's morale but also shifted the international community's perception of the situation. Over the course of six months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted significant losses on the enemy, captured numerous prisoners, and continued to liberate occupied territories.

The situation in the Kursk region is reported by Glavpost, referencing the pages of Andrei Sibiga on X.

According to the General Staff of Ukraine, the Russian army has lost 39,900 soldiers during the operation, of which 16,000 are irrecoverable. In addition, Ukrainian forces captured 909 Russian soldiers, marking a significant strategic achievement. These figures confirm the strength and professionalism of the Ukrainian army, as well as the weaknesses in the tactics of Russian troops.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga stated in his remarks that the Kursk operation has become a symbol of the failure of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. "Today marks six months since the Kursk operation revealed Putin's weakness. He attempted to destroy Ukraine in a matter of days, but after several years, the war continues in Russia," Sibiga wrote on social media.

One of the key lessons the world should learn from this situation, according to the minister, is confidence in Ukraine's ability to prevail. The second lesson is the absence of fear in the face of Putin's threats. Ukraine's international partners, inspired by the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, continue to support the country by increasing the supply of weapons and humanitarian aid.
