Ukraine launches successful counterattack, forcing Russian troops in Kursk to take defensive stance

Russian occupiers in the east of Ukraine and in the Kursk direction tried desperately to advance forward. But over the past six months, Putin's army has not fully achieved its aggressive goals. This was stated by Ukrainian military expert Sergei Grabsky on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel . He specified that the Russians have not yet reached the borders of Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk regions. In addition, the enemy has not yet achieved its goals in the Kursk direction. "Ukrainian troops, despite the fact that they have left a significant part of the territory, are located in the Kursk region, carrying out tasks to hold back quite significant enemy forces," Grabsky noted. He emphasized that the enemy had not fully exhausted its potential, but was no longer able to conduct active combat operations. "If in November the enemy took control of 730 sq. km of Ukrainian territory, then in February this amount was only 192 sq. km. And here we must take into account that part of the territory was recaptured by Ukrainian troops, which is observed especially in the first half of March quite effectively," Grabsky said. While the Russian army cannot conduct any serious offensive operations in the near future, the Ukrainian defenders are launching counterattacks, conducting counterattacks that force the enemy to mark time, and in some cases, to retreat. "Thus, we see a situation in which the enemy, having exhausted its resources, is forced to go on the defensive along most of the front line," the expert noted. As media wrote , the Russian army in the Pokrovsk direction reduced the use of heavy equipment. According to Tregubov, this happened in particular because in the first two months of 2025, the occupiers lost about 300 tanks . Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed more tanks than the Bundeswehr has in service. Recently, the head of military security programs at the Center for Globalistics "Strategy XXI" Pavlo Lakiychuk said that thanks to the skillful actions of the Ukrainian command, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are seizing the initiative at the front . An improvement in the situation is recorded in particular near Pokrovsk and Toretsk. Meanwhile, the situation in the Kursk region is very grave. The Russians have brought in reserves and North Korean soldiers to attack the Ukrainian Armed Forces . Roman Kostenko, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, noted that the Kursk operation has already become a political operation for the Russian Federation. The enemy wants to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the Kursk region with all its might. Kostenko believes that this is connected with preparations for peace talks.
