Breakthrough in the Kursk region: the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and moved the war to Russia - Syrsky

According to the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces, the Kursk direction always threatened to Ukraine, so it was necessary to act and move the fighting to the enemy. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation wanted to expand the front in the territory of Ukraine and the offensive was planned, in particular, from Kursk region. In May, the enemy had already applied such tactics, so Ukraine had to act.

The commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky shared the details in an interview with CNN. On May 10, Russian invaders launched an offensive in the Kharkiv region and attacked border settlements. After that, the Russians planned to do the same in the Sumy region, creating a bridgehead for further advancement.

After major casualties in the East, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces continued, the enemy's offensive tied and the personnel were not enough to plan new operations. Therefore, the enemy began to throw his troops from the Kursk region, which was used by Ukraine, starting his own breakthrough. "This direction has always been threatened. Therefore, assessing our capabilities, we chose the weakest place in the defense of the enemy, in its structure. And this direction was chosen.

This reduced the threat The territory of the enemy can feel what we have created our safety area in the Kursk region. , - said Alexander Sirsky. From other areas of the front in Ukraine, Russia also overtook some units of troops, added the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces, which made the defense of the enemy significantly weakened. "We note that the number of artillery blows and the intensity of offensive actions decreased. In fact, the most problematic for us is the Pokrovsky direction.

In other areas, the situation has become more stable. Therefore, I think this strategy was chosen correctly and will bring us the desired result", " Alexander Sirsky summed up. We will remind, on September 6 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he did not tell about surgery in Kursk region through Russian intelligence. According to him, Kiev received information from GUR and partners about the possible offensive of Russians from the north to the city of Sumy.
