Ukrainian forces have executed a remarkable offensive in Kursk, Russia, capturing over one thousand square kilometers in just one week. This rapid advance surpasses the territory gained by Russia in eight months. With around ten thousand Ukrainian troops, the operation has led to the capture of twenty-eight villages and the displacement of over one hundred thousand people. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy highlighted the mission's aim for a "just" peace, while Moscow scrambles to counter this unexpected and significant shift in the ongoing conflict.
