Ukraine’s Kursk offensive diverted thousands of Russian troops, says Zelensky β’ FRANCE 24 English
Ukraine’s offensive into the Russian border region of Kursk diverted around 40,000 Russian troops away from the frontline, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday. Kyiv launched its Kursk offensive on August 6 in a bid to pull Moscow’s forces away from eastern Ukraine, where the Russian army has captured a string of villages in recent months.

Hey but Ukraine is winning the counteroffensive is gaining momentum, but that was last yearπππ
If anyone were to look on the ground it's clear there's only about 20,000 sheeeesh always projection π
Ukraine is winning in the Western media
Don't you have your own reporters for correct news
why do you keep telling lies. the kursk offensive ranks as one of the most stupid operations in the history of war. yet you still report it as a victory. ukraine troops are cut off from the supply routes and are sitting ducks, up to 15000 have already been killed and billions of pounds worth of nato equipment has been destroyed. they should allow the british to plan more operations and this war will be over in weeks. nato are sheep russians are bears.
To all the poo tin trolls in the comments:
Toropets is still burning π
Logic tells me that if Russia didn't redeploy troops to Kursk, it means it is taking Ukraine's territory much easier because Ukraine's troops is in Kursk, carrying out Zelensky's "Victory Plan". If Zelensky can win territory in Kersk as well as winning in Ukraine, then obviously Zelensky's magic knows no bound !
The West is desperate to sensor the media for lying freely. The democracy of lies and dictatorship.
Who told you that lie?
β€ Russia
Putin meat wave tactics of 3rd worlders is a crime against humanity
In the Kursk direction, the enemy lost more than 15,300 troops, 124 tanks, 56 infantry fighting vehicles, 93 armored personnel carriers, 780 armored combat vehicles, 471 vehicles, 115 artillery pieces, 28 multiple rocket launchers, including seven HIMARS and six MLRS manufactured by the United States, 8 anti-aircraft missile launchers, four transport vehicles-charging machines, 29 electronic warfare stations, 7 counter-battery radars, two air defense radars, 15 units of engineering equipment, of which 9 engineering barrier vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearance unit.
Still pushing this absurd narrative??? Unbelievable
A nother lyrics for begging money
Boy, there are a lot of Russian sympathizers on this comment section. Down with Russia always stand with freedom!
Uh oh….
Vuhledar?
Pokrovsk?
All good there?
We cannot argue with you, the god and saviour of Europe. But we are confused about why Russia is still gaining grounds in Dumbas with less soldiers? Does that mean their weapons are superior to western weapons?
πππππ Your propaganda is too thick π π π π
stay strong ukraine!
Has Zelensky conceded the loss of Soledar yet? Before he goes on a new round of story making he'd better tie those loose ends.
π zelensky saidππππ
Keep it up yours stupid propoganda πnd also western country
Russia is to recruit 15 lakh more soldiers,, NATO will test direct battle in coming years ππ
All the pro Rusdian trolls in here can just @#$% off
What a terrorist state Russia is.
We know is NATO soldiers on the battlefield not Ukraine, Russia have already finished with Ukraine soldiers long time ago
Vladbots are really really upset theyβre all over the place. No cabbages 4U!
Putin claims .. Zele says .. ππ
One big news is NATO has supplied long range missiles to Ukraine to be used against Moscow & this will escalate war in near future.
You guys are living in a fantasy world – wishful thinkingππyet they have lost lands faster than they ever did in this year. They want to use that to cover up for the losses of men, land and weapons in the Kursk direction.
So no Russia soldier left in Donbas region. .
You're kidding right even if let's say Russia diverted 40,000 soldiers to Kursk front that's still a tiny peck in the Russian army. Meanwhile Ukraine has lost more than 10,000 men in Kursk and many pieces of western armour had been lost which would have been vital in Donbass. Russia is still gaining ground in Donbass because Russia doesn't have manpower problems but Ukraine does have. Russians are in no hurry to take back a few border villages from Ukraine that are of no Strategic value and are actually happy because it actually ties up a lot of Ukrainian soldiers that would have been useful in Donbass
A lie. AFU actually outnumbers RU in the Sumy sector (which includes the Kursk incursion). There are many, many sites and channels that very accurately keep track of where each sides units are. Of course they do not know how many men are actually still alive in each unit, but by counting brigades and battalions they can get a roughly accurate measure. In fact, over almost three years now, if three or four of those blogger sites give numbers that are roughly the same, that is more believable than anything you'll see reported by Governments or in Western Media.
If I wanted to hear what Zensky "said" I would listen to Zensky. Your parroting the rhetoric of a Country in a conflict. This is not news nor is it information DW News.
Stop abusing YT disk space with repetitive nonsense..
Please, do not publish Zelensky. It is a lier comic.
Diverted from where?
How many Ukrainians died in Kursk?
Very delusional.
Zelensky is world most powerful π€‘π
Is this worth telling your viewers ..What is the signjficance of this lies
