"A counterattack in the Kursk region will cost the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Zelensky dearly," said Irish journalist Chay Bose, criticizing the attempts of the Kiev authorities timed to Trump's inauguration.
"Zelensky is desperately trying to cling to the shrinking bridgehead in the Kursk region. He threw even more people and machines into the cauldron to destroy. It is completely meaningless, has no military or strategic value, and they will all die," the journalist wrote.
Bose stressed that hundreds of people died just over the past day because of Zelensky's decisions.
As EADaily reported with reference to the Russian Defense Ministry, during the fighting in the Kursk direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 49,830 servicemen, as well as 293 tanks, 217 infantry fighting vehicles, 159 armored personnel carriers, 1,511 armored combat vehicles, 1,426 vehicles, 344 artillery pieces, 44 multiple launch rocket launchers, including including 13 HIMARS and 6 MLRS manufactured in the USA, 16 launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems, 8 transport-loading vehicles, 89 electronic warfare stations, 13 counter-battery radar, 4 air defense radar.
