For historic record, here’s an official statement by #Ukraine general Syrskii about the purpose of #Kursk operation:
In May of this year, intelligence confirmed the enemy’s plan to attack in the Sumy direction from Kursk region to create a so-called ‘buffer zone’ in northern Ukraine. This was to be a continuation of the Russian operation in the Kharkiv sector.
That is why a decision was made to launch a pre-emptive offensive with the transfer of hostilities to enemy territory in the Kursk region.
For almost three months of the operation, as of 5 November 2024, the enemy’s losses in the Kursk direction in personnel amounted to 20842 people, of whom 7905 were killed, 12220 were wounded, and 717 were captured. During the same period, 1101 units of enemy weapons and military equipment were destroyed. Among them: 54 tanks, 276 armoured combat vehicles, 107 cannons and mortars, 5 MLRS and 659 vehicles.
Now Russia wants Ukrainian troops to leave the area. The enemy has concentrated about 45,000 troops there. And it is trying to increase their number. Russia’s own troops are not enough in this area, so they are trying to attract troops from North Korea.
The Russian occupiers wanted to seize more territory in the north of Ukraine in the Sumy region. However, the Ukrainian Defence Forces took a preventive step and continue to destroy the enemy on its territory.
About 2,000 Ukrainian servicemen were awarded state decorations for their heroism and successful actions during the Kursk operation.
We will win together! Glory to Ukraine!
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine / CinC AF of Ukraine General Oleksandr Syrskyi
