Ukraine’s recent cross-border offensive into Russia’s Kursk region has shifted the dynamics of the conflict, boosting Ukrainian morale and challenging previous assumptions about Russian red lines. This unexpected military maneuver has seized hundreds of square kilometers of Russian territory, forcing Moscow to redirect troops. While the incursion demonstrates Ukraine’s offensive capabilities and has renewed domestic confidence, questions remain regarding whether this tactical success can be translated into a long-term strategic turning point or if it will ultimately strain Ukrainian defensive lines elsewhere.
- Ukrainian forces launched a surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, marking the first significant foreign military ground offensive inside Russian territory since World War II.
- The operation has allowed Ukraine to capture numerous settlements and establish a buffer zone, leading to the displacement of tens of thousands of Russian residents.
- The offensive aimed to divert Russian troops from the front lines in eastern Ukraine, though intense pressure remains on Ukrainian defenders in the Donbas.
- Ukrainian leadership is using the tactical success to urge Western allies to lift restrictions on using supplied long-range weaponry for deep strikes inside Russia.
- Strategic analysts note that while the incursion has boosted Ukrainian morale, the long-term sustainability and impact of occupying Russian territory remain uncertain.

Bias reportage by..london.journalist
Keir STARMER does not represent the UK. This is NOT OUR WAR.
Slava 🇺🇦. But I dont think this is a turning point in the big perspective. This war is gonna go on and on for years. It will end like in 2030. A classic attrision war with no distinct winner or loser. The frontline will resemble todays.
But the winning therefore, seen to the objoctives of the war, will be Ukraine anyway.
I think DW thinks if you keep running the same story it will eventually become true.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙌 👏 💪 😎 ♥️ 🇺🇦 🙌
May GOD safe and bless you 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️ ♥️ 💖 🙏 🙌 ✨️
This will only lead to more death in Ukraine
New episode of brainwashing by mi6
Coalition of the Willing 😅😅😅
Oh so you intentionally left out the news that Ukraine almost lost Kostyantynivka and Lymans is operationally encircled? Now Russia is flanking the fortress belt from both the North and the South.
Slava Ukraini from Croatia! 💙💛
This could be Putin’s best chance of avoiding further catastrophe. If he turns this down, ordinary Russians might turn on him
😂😂😂😂😂
Brace for loser Putin`s loser bots in comments 😀 . Patethic Putin could not even capture Donbass after 4 years . Such a loser
turningpoint 360 degres.
This will go on another 2 to 3 years.
Confidence doesnt work on battlefields. You show confidence at the wrong spot and you are worm food after that….
Hate to say it. Ukraine may just be too hopeful. Putin's ego is the obstacle to peace talks even when they are losing. Hopefully someone else in Russia will take that brave step….
DW is a useless media organisation.
For the passed 3 years they have been claiming a ‘TURNING POINT’ in the war.
Russia just keeps pounding Ukraine taking more and more of Ukraine land.
Zelensky is hiding in London he would be taken out
A colllection of the most unpopular leaders in the world lol
Zelenski is a clown, hope he goes soon, Ukrainians had enough of him
When you lose in the battlefield, then resort to the act of terror, a historic military experience of the British military intelligence.
Another scene of clownshow.
Look at these Wally’s giving themselves a pat on the back for what exactly….being lame perhaps? 🤔
All these terrorist attacks by the West is expected …that is why Ru launched the SMO. The West is now killing Ukrainian people to claim success.
Another lopsided biased DW nose bleed story. Zelenski’s goose is cooked regardless.
Deutsche Welle should stop calling this a „conflict“. It is the „war“ against Ukraine. (11:25)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 let's hope the comedian will live to see the ruins of his country bcs in one way or another Ukraine will fall dismally and Europe will regret to support the comedian.russia will never surrender or kneel to anyone
Difficult situations on the battlefield at Kostyantynivka for Ukraine.
