On September 12, Ukrainian President Zelensky showed extraordinary calmness and confidence in Russia’s counterattack in the Kursk region. He publicly stated that the development of the current situation is fully in line with Ukraine’s military strategic plan.
Data recently released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows that 10 settlements in the Kursk region have been "liberated" by Russian troops, and it is claimed that Ukraine suffered more than 12,500 casualties in this invasion. However, faced with this series of numbers, Zelensky did not appear panicked or frustrated.
At a press conference in Kiev on Thursday, Zelensky delivered a firm message to the media: "The Russians did launch a counterattack, but it was all within our Ukrainian plan," he said in his tone. Revealing a confident confidence, as if everything is under control.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed news is circulating on social media that Russian airborne troops have successfully repelled Ukrainian forces and recaptured parts of the eastern part of the Kursk Pocket. Although the authenticity of these messages needs to be further verified, they have undoubtedly heightened tensions in the region.
Looking back on the past, Ukraine sent thousands of soldiers to Russian territory last month, which was the largest cross-border operation launched by Kyiv since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Behind this move, Kiev officials gave multiple strategic considerations: capturing Russian soldiers for prisoner exchange, creating panic in Russia, putting political pressure on President Vladimir Putin, and forcing Moscow to withdraw from the Donbas front line. military strength, and the seizure of Russian territory that could be used as leverage in future peace talks.
It is worth noting that this action is regarded as part of the so-called "victory plan" submitted by Zelensky to US President Joe Biden. He emphasized that in order to realize this plan, Washington should provide necessary military support and capabilities.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Kyiv on Wednesday for an in-depth exchange with Ukraine's leadership on "how to best define victory in Ukraine." This move undoubtedly injected new impetus and confidence into Ukraine, and also filled the outside world with more expectations and speculations about the direction of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
