“Ukrainian pilots are conducting precision strikes on enemy strongholds, equipment concentrations, as well as on enemy logistics centres and supply routes,” General Oleshchuk said. and captured several villages, Kyiv poured more forces into the operation, transforming it into a full-scale offensive and opening a new front in western Russia.The Ukrainian army said on Thursday that it now controlled more than 80 Russian settlements in the Kursk region, including Sudzha, a town of 6000. The claims could not be independently verified, although analysts say that Sudzha is highly likely to be under full Ukrainian control.
“Russia is still pulling together its reaction,” General Christopher Cavoli, NATO’s top military commander, said during a talk at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York last week.
