Ukraine has launched a new offensive in Kursk amid fears of unfavorable compromises in potential peace negotiations with Russia under pressure from the US. President Zelenskyy remains determined in his rhetoric, claiming losses on the Russian side. The scale and outcome of the offensive are still unclear, with conflicting reports on the progress of the battles. Ukrainian forces are said to be advancing towards Berdin, while some believe it may be a distraction maneuver for a strike on Glushkovo. Experts caution against premature conclusions and suggest it may take up to 48 hours to assess the situation. The war in Ukraine, now in its third year, has left many wanting it to end, but concerns remain about potential Russian regrouping and further attacks if a truce is reached. Ukrainian officials hope to negotiate from a position of strength to avoid unfavorable outcomes. The ongoing conflict in Kursk comes as Ukraine prepares for potential peace talks amidst the shifting geopolitical landscape surrounding the conflict.
