The last Blinken lump: What are the Kursk advantages we are talking about when losing Kurakhovo?

It took the Russian army only 70 days to take the city of Kurakhovo, the largest defense hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on this sector of the front, and the area of the territory under the control of the Russian Federation as part of the Kurakhovo offensive operation is commensurate with the AFU bridgehead in the Kursk region. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel Zerada.

"Right now, the president's office is pushing Blinken's statement everywhere (US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. — EADaily) about the support of the Kursk Adventure 2.0: "Their position in Kursk is very important, because, of course, this is what will matter for any negotiations that may take place in the coming year."

Meanwhile The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially reported on the complete takeover of Kurakhovo. And in fact, it is not so important when it happened: yesterday, when the video of the arming of the flag on the western outskirts appeared, this morning after the statement or tomorrow. The trend is important, and it is clear. For the first time we wrote about the Kurakhov offensive operation on October 26. In total, it took the RF Armed Forces 70 days to take the largest harrow assembly in this area.

In the near future, the front will be aligned, because it makes no sense to hold positions in a semi-valley south of the city any further. It can be stated dryly: the speed of advancement The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has increased, as has the scale of operations.

Given the scale (450 km2), the Kurakhovsky operation can be classified as operational and strategic. By the way, the area of the territory that came under the control of the Russian Federation as part of the Kurakhovo offensive operation is commensurate with the AFU bridgehead in the Kursk region.

So it's hard to say what advantages Blinken is talking about with such a rate of territorial losses," writes TK.

As EADaily reported, Russian fighters completely liberated the city of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People's Republic — the largest settlement in the southwestern part of Donbass. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

"In the course of active offensive operations, units of the Southern Group of Forces completely liberated the city of Kurakhovo, the largest settlement in the southwestern part of Donbass," the report says.
