Saka summarized in August last year, Ukraine occupied over 1,000 square kilometers in Kursk county in Russia. Ukraine wanted to use the occupied areas as a negotiating card, in exchange for Russian-occupied areas in Ukraine Now Russia has pressed Ukraine out of 29 villages in Kursk, including the city of Sudzja. Russian authorities claim that Ukrainian forces are almost completely squeezed out of Russian areas. The loss of Kursk weakens Ukraine’s negotiating position, says Russia expert Tor Bukkvoll. But there is not a decisive factor in the war. Delays in US weapons support have been more important, Bukkvoll states. Russia wants full control over Kursk to strengthen its own negotiating position and eliminate the opportunity for Ukraine to require a village. Ukraine should have stabilized the front in some areas despite the loss of Kursk. A weapons quad may be possible, but a peace agreement is far ahead. The summary is written by a Ki-service and controlled by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists. In a few days in August last year, Ukraine occupied an area of \u200b\u200bover 1,000 square kilometers in Kursk county in Russia. According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, the goal of the offensive was to strengthen the position in the country by possible peace talks with Russia. If Ukraine occupies an area in Russia, they could exchange this against the area Russia occupied in Ukraine, was the thinking. But now it looks like Ukraine’s occupation is over, although Ukrainian authorities nectar that they have been squeezed out of Russia, according to Reuters. – They took a risk. It worked for a while, and then it cut. This is what Russia expert says at the Defense Research Institute Tor Bukkvoll. Was the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk worth it? And what can happen further? You need to do this in the Kursk region? Kursk is a Russian region lying on the border with Ukraine. Ukrainian forces attacked Kursk on August 6, 2024. It was the first time Ukraine send soldiers into Russia. During a few weeks, Ukraine took control of more than 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory, according to the news agency AP. It is more than four times larger than the municipality of Oslo. Why attacked Ukraine Kursk? Ukrainian authorities gave several reasons for the offensive. On the one hand, Ukraine hoped that Russia would pull forces out of Ukrainian territory to defend Kursk. At the same time, Ukraine wanted to use Russian territory as a press agent in future peace talks. Ukraine’s President Zelenskyj said they were willing to change occupied areas in Kursk, against areas that Russia occupies in eastern Ukraine. What is the last thing that happened? During February and March in 2025, Russia carried out several major attacks against Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. As a result, Ukrainian forces had to retreat. Ukraine has now lost over 70 percent of the area they took in August, according to AP. In mid-March, Russian President Vladimir Putin himself has visited an area as a Russian forces recapture. Can the loss of Kursk affect the peace talks? Ukraine wants to switch the area they took in the course of the area that Russia occupies in Aust-Ukraine. The loss of the occupied area in Kursk may mean that Ukraine is now weaker in possible peace talks with Russia. This has happened on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Kursk county to encourage his soldiers. They were to take the entire region back, Putin stated. Russia now claims to have pressed Ukraine out of 29 villages in Kursk, including the city of Sudzja, according to Reuters. With that, Ukrainian forces will now be almost completely squeezed out of the Russian area, reports the news agency. On social media, the withdrawal is clear. Hugged tanks and weapons are left after Ukrainian forces have retired in recent days. According to international fact checkers, Ukrainian forces are said to have lost more than twice as much military equipment as Russia in Kursk in the last month. Russian President Vladimir Putin must have visited Kursk on March 12. Photo: Handout \/ AFP \/ NTB withdrawal from Kursk also has an effect inside Ukraine. Several villages on the border are now evacuated after days of Russian bomb attacks, according to Sumy county governor, Volodyymyr Artiukh. And Russian sabotage groups must have tried to cross the border more cities, the governor reports. – The campaigns have intensified. Russia has brought out large reserves here, he says. Tor Bukkvoll chief researcher at the Defense Research Institute (FFI). – We know that the city of Sudzja was taken by Russian forces, which was about the only Ukraine left, says Tor Bukkvoll. “It is reasonable to say that the Ukrainian occupation of parts of Kursk county is over,” he concludes. The city of Sudzja that Ukraine took last year has now been taken back by Russia. What does Russia want? Russia’s offensive in Kursk is happening while negotiations are being made for a weapons congregation agreement between Russia and Ukraine. – It was a disaster for Vladimir Putin that Ukraine managed to take an area in Kursk, says Kari Aga Myklebost. Myklebost believes that a full recapture of Kursk will be a strategic says the Kremlin. According to Ho, Russia wants full control over Kursk to strengthen its negotiating position during the weapons congregations. Kari Aga Myklebost Professor in History at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT). “Russia wants Ukraine out of Kursk to strengthen its negotiating position and eliminate the opportunity for Ukraine to demand a village,” she says. Putin pulls out the negotiations to ensure the most possible control before entering into an agreement, says Myklebost. Former Moscow correspondent Gro Holm:-Putin says no in a soft way. The Russian president said on Thursday that he is open to a weapons. At the same time, he has made more demands. Russia demanded full control over four Ukrainian regions, reports Reuters. The country also wants Ukraine to reduce its military capacity and not become a member of NATO, according to Reuters. Nor does they want international peace forces, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stated, reports AFP. What can the consequences be for Ukraine? According to Tor Bukkvoll, the loss of Kursk is a defeat for Ukraine. Still, he does not believe that there is a decisive factor in the war. – It may have weakened Ukraine’s negotiating position, but it is not a disaster. Bukkvoll points out that Ukraine’s offensive against Kursk did not have the effect the country might be hoping for. Russian soldiers pass through the ruins of the city of Sudzja in the Kursk region. Ukraine was pushed out of the city after strong Russian attacks. Photo: Handout \/ AFP \/ NTB He points out that other factors, such as delays in US arms support, have had more to say for Ukraine. Ukraine’s offensive against Kursk also had a limited effect on Russian forces in Aust-Ukraine, according to the Institute for The Study of War. And Russia did not pull away large forces from Aust-Ukraine to defend Kursk. – Politically, it is unlikely that Kursk can be used as a negotiating card now, says Bukkvoll. Since the full -scale nation of Ukraine started in 2022, the country has received intelligence from the United States. This information has been decisive for Ukraine’s ability to identify and turn toward Russian goals. Researchers have been serious. “Ukraine is probably dependent on US intelligence to get a warning when Russia fires from missiles against Ukrainian cities and industrial gravity, Tormod Heier, professor at the Defense College, previously told news. Was the offensive worth it? Bukkvoll believes that the offensive gave good morals to Ukrainian soldiers to fight on, and push some Russian forces away from Donbas. “If Ukraine had not taken a course, Russia could have made a bigger progress there,” says Bukkvoll.

When it comes to the future, he believes that a weapons show can be possible, while a peace agreement is far ahead. Russia professor Myklebost believes that the recapture of Kursk has been a strategic says the Kremlin, especially compared to the peace talks. – Putin uses this to weaken Volodyymyr Zelenskyj and the relationships between Ukraine and the West. She adds: – Putin has contacted the Ukrainian opposition to undermine Zelenskyj’s authority. Interested in foreign? Listen to the podcast of the foreign editor here: Published 14.03.2025, at. 23.04
