Ukraine's operation in the Kursk region of Russia has given hope that this offensive is not the last. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi in an interview with the BAZA project on Radio Bayraktar, UNN reports.

"The year was very tense. It took place in conditions of constant active actions of the enemy, they attacked, we defended. But we also had some good news when we conducted a successful counter-offensive, an offensive operation in the Kursk sector, which greatly motivated our military personnel... And gave us hope that this offensive will not be the last," said Syrsky.

In addition, according to him, the main conclusion of the Kursk operation is that we need to prepare not only for defense, but also for offense.
