The OP adviser said that the offensive in Kursk region demonstrates Russia's vulnerability. According to him, there are two ways to end the war: ground operations and long-range strikes deep into Russia.

Russia is convinced that its territory, which is used for constant shelling of Ukraine, is inviolable. However, Ukraine's offensive in the Kursk region demonstrates that this is not the case. This was stated by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, UNN reports.

According to him, Kursk region, as well as any other border region of Russia, is the quintessence of the type of deliberately vile war that Russians always prefer.

Podolyak emphasized that the Russians are using their territories to deploy artillery, MLRS, small air bases, and ballistic missile launchers for large-scale attacks on the civilian population of another country.

At the same time, it (Russia - ed.) is confident that its territory is informally inviolable, and no one will destroy the logistics and infrastructure of the war on the territory of the Russian Federation. Today, Ukraine is showing that this is not the case. And that there are only two ways to end the war and return Russia to understanding what the rules of war are

- said the advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. 

He explains that the first option involves the destruction of the same war infrastructure by ground operations. According to him, this is exactly what the Ukrainian Armed Forces have and what is needed to protect the population of Ukraine in the border regions.

The second is to launch long-range strikes into the depths of Russia. Large-scale and regular. But this requires a lot of missiles and the final abandonment of informal bans on the use of these missiles on the territory of the Russian Federation

- Mykhailo Podolyak said.
