Details
According to him, Putin is currently "not in a winning position", while six months ago "his initiative was stronger".
Today the situation has changed, but he still controls it. He doesn't want us to leave even one of our units in the Kursk region
He also emphasized that the "Kursk operation" of the Defense Forces of Ukraine allowed to postpone the aggressive plans of the Russian dictator.
In general, they wanted to stand on the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv and Sumy, threatening the occupation of central or largest cities from one region or another
He added that even 7-7.5 months ago, before the "Kursk operation", the occupiers "were taking steps" in the Kharkiv direction, "and they were going to do the Zaporizhzhia direction immediately after Sumy".
