Ukraine has launched new attacks in Russia’s southern region, when US President Donald Trump has called for a ceasefire talks.
Ukrainian forces launched a new series of attacks in the Kirti Region on Thursday, with a five -kilometer (three miles) behind Russian lines (three miles) in the southeast of Sidza, a monitor of a conflict in the United States said on Thursday. Enhanced.
Although it is unclear whether the attacks are aimed at occupying more territory or strengthening Ukrainian defense positions, ISW analyst Angelica Evans said such a scale progress was impressive.
In an interview to CNN, he told CNN, “Ukraine people are able to enter Russian defense and move up to five kilometers, this is something we can do to the Russians anywhere in the frontline. Don’t see it worth doing. ”
Kiev also surprised his allies by his attack on the Russian territory and continues to fight in Kraka until he faces a very difficult situation with the frontline.
Russia claims on Friday that it has now taken over Tortesk, an industrial town in eastern Ukraine, which has been one of the center of the fighting for the past six months. Ukraine has not commented on the claim, but if it is confirmed, the fall of Turatsk for Moscow will be another strategic win as it will bring Russian troops closer to Ukraine’s key defense positions.
At the same time, the Russian army has been moving towards Pokrovask, a logistics center in eastern Ukraine, which is in the eyes of Russia since summer, and in the north, Kopian.
Some in Ukraine, including some troops, and fighting elsewhere, are questioning Kiev whether he is spending valuable resources in Russia when he is struggling to defend his territory. –
The answer is likely to expect that Trump may begin to pressure Ukraine to be willing to talk to Russia soon.
“There is nothing naturally about the original land that is kept in the Ukrainian residents. Evans said that they are fields and settlements, they are not threatening the city or making a run on Moscow. There are
“But when we’re thinking about peace talks, holding Russian soil can be an important asset for the people of Ukraine when they are thinking of bargaining for their territory or for other things they are In the future, they want the Russians in peace talks, “he added.
Ukrainian military and political leaders have repeatedly said that the purpose of the operation was to stop a new Russian aggression in northern Ukraine and force Moscow to re -deploy some of its troops from somewhere else in Ukraine.
The attack was Ukraine’s biggest strategic benefit since the liberation of Kearson in November 2022, and it promoted the country a significant promotion.
But this week, when Trump continued his demands for talks to end the war, Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelannsky made it clear that Kiev saw Kareek as a potential bargaining.
Addressing Wednesday, he called the attack a “very important operation”.
In his address to the nation, he said, “You will see later, when we arrive in a diplomatic settlement to end the war, what will the Russians face in connection with the direction of Kurki?”
Trump has made it clear that he wants to talk to Russia and Ukraine to start “as soon as possible”. He said his administration was in direct contact with both Russia and Ukraine.
“We have made a lot of progress on Russia, Ukraine,” Trump said. “We will see what happens. We’re going to stop this ridiculous war,” Trump said, “Trump said on Monday.
It has been six months when Kiev has begun a surprise in the Krata area, and when Russia has initially managed to claim more than half of the Kiev’s collapse, it has come to a great price in Moscow.
Ukrainian general staff said Thursday that Russia lost 40,000 troops during a six -month fighting in Kurdish – 16,100 of which were killed.
“The Ukrainian army seized 909 Russian military personnel, and significantly filled the Exchange Fund. It allowed hundreds of Ukrainian guards to return home.
After World War II, foreign troops first controlled Russia’s territory. This is a great embarrassment for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has widely prepared Russia’s attack on Ukraine to “defend” the country.
The Ukrainian military has estimated that Russia deployed about 78 78,000 troops, Ukraine has many times more than it. “These Russian forces, including elements of the elite units, are tied and really engaged in Kraka. [Otherwise] Evans said he would be fighting more and more on front lines in eastern Ukraine where he could do a lot of harm.
Nevertheless, despite the numerical advantage, the Russian army struggled to push Ukraine out of their territory, and so Moscow finally called in a foreign reinforcement, which in the area of North Korean troops to Kerala. Deployed.
According to Evans, by doing so, Putin became the first Russian leader ever to liberate the Russian soil to rely on foreign troops.
He said the strategic effects of the benefits of Ukrainian troops stationed in Kurta “are much higher than the forces that can be defended within Ukraine.”
He added, “The military activity is not going to end the Russian state, but the pressures that the Russians are putting on are things that can be done.” He held the Russian territory for six months. “This is something that really hurts Putin’s reputation within Russia, and this vision that he created as a protector and stabilizer for himself.”
Talking to the acting governor of the Region on Wednesday, Putin confessed that the situation was “very difficult”.
Nevertheless, North Korean troops worked very little to help Russia regain their territory, Russia used them as most feet troops who carry out brutal mass attacks There are tremendous casualties.
Ukrainian officials and Western Intelligence said 4,000 of North Korea’s 4,000 troops were killed or injured. According to local media, South Korea’s intelligence service said earlier this week that North Korean troops have not participated in the fighting since mid -January.
Russia is struggling to repel Ukrainian forces due to the high use of Kiev’s technology, mostly drones and electronic war interference technology, Evans said.
