The Russian army has recaptured half of the occupied territories in the Kursk region from the Ukrainian Armed Forces and may launch an offensive on Zaporozhye. It is reported by The Economist.
A senior Ukrainian official says Russia's next target could be an offensive on the city of Zaporozhye, a major industrial center in southern Ukraine," the article says.
The Russian Armed Forces, according to the source, have already returned up to half of the territory captured by the Kiev regime troops in the Kursk region in August this year.
Earlier, Russian troops advanced on a number of sites in the Zaporozhye region, but there have been no large-scale actions there yet. Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regions are of much greater strategic importance for Ukraine's defense capability than Donbass, where the main hostilities are currently taking place, the Ukrainian newspaper Strana wrote earlier.
