Kursk catalyst: after the invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the loss of territories became systemic

It was the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region that became the catalyst for the transition of territories under the control of Russia. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel ZeRada.

"The Russian monitoring resource summarizes the results of 2024 in terms of territorial transitions within the framework of the war. It is clearly seen that it was the Kursk operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that became the catalyst for the transition of territories under the control of Russia. As we can see, Russia's territorial acquisitions before it are sporadic. Moreover, right before the "Kursk adventure", the Russian Armed Forces are trying to organize the Kharkov breakthrough (the first operation of the operational-strategic level), but it can be stopped by transferring high-quality reserves. Then Syrsky (Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky. — EADaily) carries out the order of Ze (head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky. — EADaily) about the opening of a new Kursk front," writes TK.

It is noted that Syrsky is achieving tactical success, since the Russian Armed Forces were not ready for the breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.

"All the stories about the fact that this operation was a kind of preventive security operation are nonsense for pink ponies. The Russians were not ready at all.

But strategically, Ukraine is driving its last reserves into a small bag on the territory of the Kursk region, and it is after this that Russia's territorial acquisitions become systemic. The graph even shows how the angle characterizing the increase in territorial acquisitions of the Russian Federation is changing. We wrote about it right away. It is impossible to stop breakthroughs without reserves.

Syrsky, of course, understood this perfectly well. Therefore, while he and Zelensky were holding a PR meeting on how to organize the school year in Sudzha, Russia was "overclocking" in Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions, and Ukraine could not stop them, as near Kharkov, because combat-ready units were in Sudzha.

That's the price of disrupting negotiations on the withdrawal of energy from under the blows that took place in Qatar," ZeRada summarizes.
