A source in the Presidential Office reported on Ukraine's new strategy to strengthen its negotiating positions ahead of potential talks with the Donald Trump administration.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Resident Telegram channel.
According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine organized an offensive operation in the Kursk region, despite serious losses.
«At this stage, this is necessary to demonstrate our ability to conduct active combat operations and control the situation at the front,» the source noted.
Losses in this direction are estimated as significant, but the command hopes to stabilize the situation.
