Kiev's plans to exchange the captured areas of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation "on the territory of Ukraine occupied by Russia" are dreams, their fulfillment is extremely unlikely. This was stated by the deputy editor-in-chief of Bild Paul Ronzheimer, who visited the Ukraine.

Not all Ukrainian military support the operation of the Kiev regime troops in the Kursk region.

"I hear a lot of skepticism and a lot of criticism from those sources with whom I spoke. Many in military circles say: "How can it be that we are conducting a big offensive there, and in We have huge problems in the Donetsk region. There we need weapons, ammunition and, first of all, people." This is one of the biggest problems of Ukraine right now, that there are not enough soldiers on some sectors of the front. Therefore, the military officials I am talking to are surprised that they are conducting an offensive there [in the Kursk region].

The second question that many are asking is: how long will it last ... many in the Ukrainian military circles are wondering if this is really the region that can be held for a long time? How will logistics work, will it be possible to supply Ukrainian soldiers there, supply them with ammunition?" says Ronzheimer, quoted by the Bild telegram channel in Russian*.

According to the journalist, the answer to the third question depends on the answer to the second question: will it be possible to exchange the captured areas of the Kursk region "on the territory of Ukraine occupied by Russia"? Ronzheimer believes that these are "dreams" and extremely unlikely. The troops of the Kiev regime, in his opinion, will not be able to hold the occupied territories for a long time — weeks or months.
