According to him, Ukrainian forces continue to successfully eliminate the invaders on the battlefield, using all available means.
Key figures and conclusions:
Losses of the Russian army in 2024 According to Syrsky, the total losses of the Russian military for the current year exceeded 421 thousand people killed and wounded, which makes this year the bloodiest for Russian troops since the beginning of their invasion of Ukraine. Total losses of the Russian Federation for the entire period of the conflict Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the total losses of Russia amounted to about 785 thousand military personnel, which indicates the high intensity of hostilities and the effectiveness of the Ukrainian army.
Situation in the Kursk region:
Syrsky noted that maintaining positions in the Kursk region remains an important element of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strategy, despite the complexity of military operations:
Continuation of the defenseThe Ukrainian Armed Forces are holding on to the territory of the Kursk region longer than expected at the beginning of the operation. However, according to him, Ukraine has already lost about half of the previously captured territories, which complicates the situation. Risks and importance of the region Lost positions could deprive Ukraine of important leverage in ceasefire negotiations with Russia. The Kursk region is of strategic importance for containing the Russian army and creating pressure on the enemy.
The commander-in-chief emphasized that the Ukrainian army continues to destroy enemy forces and is doing everything possible to hold key positions. Despite the difficulties, the Ukrainian Armed Forces show high resilience and readiness to resist Russian aggression.
