As reported by “NBN”, citing a report in The Times, Ukraine has been developing an offensive plan in the Kursk region for a long time, ignoring the opinions of some partner states.
The publication notes that over the past few months, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been pressuring the military command, intending to properly plan and launch an operation in the Kursk region. However, given a number of problems, first of all, with personnel, and secondly, with weapons and ammunition (not provided in a timely manner by the allies) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the generals hesitated somewhat.
However, Zelensky managed to change the Kremlin's narrative regarding the fact that Ukraine is allegedly losing the war, judging by everything, thanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces forces allocated for this operation, information about which according to foreign media ranges from 6,000 to 10,000 defenders.
