Vladimir Putin declared the failure of Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region that began on August 6, 2024, claiming Russian forces successfully pushed Ukrainian troops out. In contrast, the Ukrainian General Staff rejected Putinâs statement, asserting that military operations are ongoing with defensive positions being held. They reported significant Russian casualties, including over 62,400 soldiers lost and numerous captures. This conflict reflects ongoing tensions, with both sides claiming the upper hand in a critical theater of operations.
Putin claims that the complete defeat of Ukrainian forces along Kursk's border will facilitate further successes for Russian troops in other critical areas of the front.
The Ukrainian General Staff rebutted Putinâs claims, affirming that Ukraine's defensive operations in Kursk continue, despite challenging conditions.
