"Kursk Operation-2": Ukrainian forces engage in combat in the north-east

The situation at present remains contradictory. The General Staff of Ukraine reports 42 combat engagements in Kursk Oblast, some of which are ongoing.

However, no significant changes have yet been recorded on the maps of the analytical service DeepState.

The main axis of attacks is directed towards the north-east. Some sources suggest that the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant may be the target, but carrying out such a task appears unlikely due to its complexity. Information has also emerged about a possible capture of the village of Berdyn, although there is no official confirmation of this yet.

The operational situation is constantly changing, and a reliable picture of events will become clearer in a few days.

Main objectives of the operation

Military tasks

• Seizing the initiative in the combat zone.
• Expanding controlled territories.
• Neutralising threats from the northern border.

Political tasks

• Demonstrating Ukraine's ability to strike the enemy even on its own territory.
• Strengthening negotiating positions against the backdrop of preparations for possible international negotiations, including the context of Donald Trump's inauguration.

We are monitoring the development of events and await new details.
