"In line with the plan"
Russia has launched a counter-offensive in Kursk
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Russia has launched a counter-offensive in the Russian border region of Kursk. This reaction by the Russian army "corresponds to the Ukrainian plan", said Selenskyj at a press conference in Kiev on Thursday, without giving further details.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the online service Telegram that Russian units had "liberated ten settlements within two days" in the Kursk region.
Russian counterattack not surprising
The Russian counter-offensive had been expected after Ukraine unexpectedly advanced into the region.
In the course of this offensive, Kiev had conquered more than 1000 square kilometers and captured many Russian soldiers. The aim of the advance was to force Moscow to withdraw at least some of its soldiers from the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk in order to cover the Kursk region.
