How Kyiv Can Utilize the Kursk Operation: ISW Expert Assesses Ukraine's Negotiation Opportunities.


Ukrainian forces have once again attacked the Kursk region of Russia following a demand from U.S. President Donald Trump to negotiate a ceasefire. This attack has taken on an unclear purpose - expanding Russian territory or strengthening Ukraine's defense. However, the successes of the Ukrainian military are impressive - they have broken through the Russian defenses and continue to push deeper into the territory. Trump may be trying to use Ukraine for negotiations with the Kremlin. Analysts believe that the territories controlled by Ukrainians could become an important asset for Ukraine in future negotiations. Currently, Ukrainian troops control the Kursk region, marking the first instance of foreign forces controlling Russian territory since World War II. It has also been noted that Putin relies on North Korean troops to help push Ukrainians out of Russia. Ukrainian successes in the Kursk region have strategic implications and undermine Putin's authority in Russia. The Russian authorities are facing difficulties in dealing with Ukrainian forces due to the use of Ukrainian technologies such as drones and electronic warfare.
