President Zelenskyy stated that the Kursk operation has achieved several things. First of all, the occupation of the Kharkiv Region was halted. Ukraine had information about the Russian Federation’s intent to create buffer zones in Kharkiv Oblast and then in the north (Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts).

It was possible to prevent this and break up a sizable grouping of Russian troops. The enemy transferred a portion of its troops from Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia to the Kursk region, but the enemy considered the Donetsk region to be a strategic area and kept their most prepared units there.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, confirmed that the Russian Federation has transferred almost 30,000 troops to the Kursk region. Despite this, the Ukrainian military controls 1,294 square kilometers and 100 settlements in this region. In addition, Zelenskyy says that Ukraine will present its “victory plan” to the US in September. It will be shared with President Joe Biden and presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Dan Rice, President of the American university of Kyiv, commented on his LI page:

“This is an absolutely brilliant strategy.  

Ukraine needs to understand not only 1) the enemy 2) the weather 3) the US political environment and schedule 4) NATOs 32 members l’ mindsets including a new Secretary General October 1st. 

All of this is combined into both the invasion of Russia but also the massive targeting of Russian oil and gas, and strategic bombers, across Russia.  

President Zelensky will unveil his plan to achieve victory shortly.   

Ukraine will go into the winter, and the US election cycle, with significant momentum on her side. Brilliant.  Risky. Bold.  Equals: Victory.”
