About 60,000 Russian military is ready to go on a new offensive: when it can happen

Ukraine needs to keep the Kursk region as long as possible and perform operations to improve its situation. According to Michael Kafman's military analyst, the defense forces need to demonstrate offensive opportunities in the war. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the amount of 60 thousand soldiers can begin an offensive in the Ukrainian territories if the defense forces leave the Kursk region. This was reported in Washington Post.

"For Ukraine there is a clear incentive to try to keep the Kursk region as long as possible, so it makes sense to perform small operations to improve their positions so that they can keep it longer . . . and try to demonstrate that they still have offensive opportunities in this war," - - said Michael Kafman's military analyst of the Navy Analysis Center.

On the side of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region began to fight North Korean soldiers, who, with the support of Russian artillery and drones, move large groups to Ukrainian positions. "In such a scenario, they (Russians, ed. ) Can save Russian troops for other tasks on the front line, not send them to the most dangerous tasks," said Ukrainian serviceman Oleg.

Instead, Ukraine has taken advantage of the problem of communication between Russian and North Korean troops to win certain positions near Kursk. We will remind, on January 10 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the capture of the territory of Kursk region was a preventive step for the sake of "rest" of residents of Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
