Quote from Syrskyi: “I worked with units and subunits that are taking part in combat operations on the Kursk front. The importance of this operational area cannot be underestimated given the number of enemy troops deployed there.”

“So my visit was dedicated to helping commanders plan combat operations, improving the effectiveness of attacks on the enemy, and addressing supply and training issues,” Syrskyi said.

He also noted that if it wasn’t for the resilience of Ukrainian troops, Russian assault forces would have assaulted Ukrainian positions on the Pokrovsk, Kurakhove and Toretsk fronts, which would have significantly worsened the situation at the front.

Background: On 10 November, The New York Times reported that 50,000 Russian and North Korean soldiers were preparing to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
