It is not clear if Ukraine has advanced much in the region, but the assault would come nearly three years into Moscow's attacks and two weeks before US President-elect Donald Trump will return to the White House.

Russia's army said over the weekend that Kiev was mounting a"counter-attack" in the region, where Ukraine's forces have held onto a swathe of territory since a shock incursion last August. An original version of the statement, published by the Ukrainian General Staff on its Telegram account, said on Tuesday Ukraine had launched"new offensive operations" in the Kursk region."This strike is an integral part of the combat operations of units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces, which conduct combat operations" in the Kursk region, the updated statement said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had on Monday also alluded to fighting in the Kursk region in his evening address, stating that Kiev was"maintaining a buffer zone on Russian territory" and"actively destroying Russian military potential there".
