总而言之,乌克兰东部最近的局势显示出俄罗斯正在向库尔斯克周边乌克兰领土强力挺进的迹象,泽连斯基总统也承认了这一点。 俄罗斯国防部表示,他们夺回领土的攻势正在进行中,并成功控制了南部边境的多个城镇。 报道还表明,俄罗斯军队击退了某些城镇附近的袭击,并挫败了其他地方的袭击企图。 亲俄媒体将这些举动描述为当地的反攻。 尽管乌克兰此前曾宣布占领约 500 平方英里的俄罗斯土地,但这一说法仍未得到证实。 据估计,受影响地区的数十万平民可能因冲突而离开或疏散。 双方均报告重大损失; 据官方声明,俄罗斯方面声称有重型装备和人员伤亡,行动期间损失了超过 12,500 名士兵和 101 辆坦克。 此外,据报道,网上流传的视频显示,一群乌克兰战俘在监督下游行。 国际观察员仍然对冲突的长期性感到担忧,但在军事和外交上支持乌克兰。 英国国防部长约翰·希利表示,通过成功保卫库尔斯克,乌克兰削弱了弗拉基米尔·普京,并加强了乌克兰的整体防御地位。 然而,根据目前的事态发展,军事平衡似乎对俄罗斯有利。

There are many indicators showing that Russia is now belatedly pushing back Ukraine forces in Kursk at full force. Ukraine's President Zelensky acknowledged this reality in Thursday comments, saying at a briefing that the Russian "counteroffensive actions were according to our Ukrainian plan."

And Russia's Defense Ministry (MoD) said the same day that its offensive to regain sovereign Russian territory is in full swing, having already captured almost a dozen towns in the southern border region.

"Units of the 'North' grouping of forces liberated 10 settlements within two days," the statement indicated. "Likewise, over the past day, units of the group repelled two enemy counterattacks near the towns of Fanaseyevka and Snagost, as well as thwarted an attempted attack near the town of Olgovka," the MoD added.

Pro-Russian war bloggers have also described that Russian forces are engaged in a "local counteroffensive" in the Korenevsky district, near Ukraine's Sumy region.

Since the Aug.6 cross-border incursion, Kiev leadership has boasted of capturing some 500 square miles of Russian territory, encompassing some 100 towns and villages - but this significant extent has never been confirmed. But what became clear was the huge size of Russian evacuation efforts. Within a couple weeks after the invasion, there were reports that 100,000 Russians fled border regions, and now that figure is estimated at 150,000 who were evacuated.

The MoD described that in the last couple days of the counteroffensive, "The AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses amounted to more than 300 troops and 24 units of hardware, including five tanks, six armored personnel carriers, 13 armored fighting vehicles, as well as two artillery guns, nine motor vehicles, two counter-obstacle vehicles, and two electronic warfare stations."

In total, Moscow claims that Kiev forces have lost over 12,500 in the Kursk operation. Along with this, it lost "101 tanks, 42 infantry fighting vehicles, 83 armored personnel carriers, 669 armored fighting vehicles, 401 motor vehicles, 92 artillery guns, 26 launchers, including seven American-made HIMARS and five MLRS systems, eight air defense systems, two transport-loading vehicles, 22 electronic warfare stations, seven counter-battery radars, two aerial radars, ten engineering vehicles, including four counter obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle"according to recently published figures in state sources.

Recent ISW war map:

Russian sources have claimed that Ukrainian troops are currently surrendering in droves. For example, RT says of one video showing a large group of men walking down a street with their hands up, "Another one [unverified clip] purports to show a group of Ukrainian POWs walking down a road. Some of them are holding their hands behind their heads while others prop up an injured comrade." The conflict continues to be a horrific war of attrition

But Western officials have continued cheering on the Ukraine operation, with British Defense Secretary John Healey saying in fresh remarks before the House of Commons that "the longer they hold Kursk, the weaker Putin becomes. The longer they hold Kursk, the better defended Ukraine will be." But the tide of battle in Ukraine's east tells a different story.
