Kursk operation: What Ukraine achieved so far and potential future gains
Ukraine’s ongoing operation in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, a bold incursion launched nearly three weeks ago that surprised Moscow and the world alike, has already yielded some tangible military and political results while also raising hopes for a sooner end to Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The Kursk incursion has allowed Ukraine to set a precedent for further offensive actions. It has created conditions for returning more Ukrainian prisoners of war by capturing scores of Russian POWs. The first major invasion of Russia since World War II has also dealt a blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reputation while lifting the spirits of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.

Minsk is concentrating Special Operation Forces, as well as weaponry, including tanks, artillery, multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), air defense systems, and engineering equipment near the Belarussian city of Gomel, a statement released by the Foreign Ministry said. The city lies within about 30 kilometers of the Belarus-Ukraine border.

The general of the Polish Armed Forces noted that three radar stations recorded that it was probably a drone. It is assumed that the UAV could have gone down near the town of Tyszowce. The search is still ongoing.
As a reminder, during the morning's massive Russian attack on the territory of Ukraine, Poland raised its military aviation.
