Kyiv's Tactical Move: Cross-Border Strike on Kursk

Kyiv launched a cross-border attack on Russia's Kursk region to divert Russian forces from their advancement in Ukraine's Donbas region, according to Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu. Despite this, he noted that Russia had sufficient forces and continued their offensive.

In a strategic maneuver, Kyiv initiated a cross-border attack on Russia's Kursk region last month. This move was aimed at distracting Russian forces and halting their progress in Ukraine's Donbas region, as reported by the RIA news agency, quoting Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu on Tuesday.

Shoigu emphasized that despite this diversionary tactic, Russia's military strength remained intact and continued their offensive operations.

The conflict in Donbas remains a critical focus, with both sides vying for control in the region.
