Kursk Offensive: Ukraine's Advances and Russia's Control

In the ongoing Kursk Offensive in Ukraine, Russia has gained control of the logistics center Niu-York in eastern Ukraine. They have also formed new military units in Kursk and other border regions to repel the Ukrainian attack.

However, independent military analysts see a significant risk for Ukraine due to the withdrawal of powerful units from the eastern front. Ukraine's forces are advancing towards Pokrovsk, a key logistical hub, while Russia is making gains along the wider Donetsk frontline.

The capture of Pokrovsk is seen as crucial to Russia's Donbas objective. Ukraine's military chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, who leads the offensive, has become popular despite initial criticism and is considered a hero for his role in defending Kiew and expelling the Russians from Charkiw.

Russia has postponed elections in seven municipalities in the Kursk region due to the Ukrainian offensive. The region is also experiencing a significant displacement of civilians.

The Russian regime did not expect Ukraine's incursion, leading to many Russian prisoners of war in Kursk. The situation in Kursk is tense, with additional security measures implemented for election officials and the establishment of new polling stations.

Pokrovsk's importance lies in its role as a logistical hub for Ukrainian forces, making it a target for Russia.
