PUTIN'S WAR: Ukrainians to launch major offensive in Kursk in 2024! What will happen next year? After almost three years of war between Russia and Ukraine, there was another major prisoner exchange. According to Ukrainian sources, 189 Ukrainians were released, while Russia received 150 prisoners back. The mediation was supported by the United Arab Emirates. Progress and setbacks in the conflict The front lines remain hotly contested. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the front still stretches over 2,000 kilometers. The Ukrainian success in the Russian province of Kursk caused a stir. The offensive, which began on August 6, initially brought 1,600 square kilometers under Ukrainian control, but has shrunk to 750 square kilometers. At the same time, this operation means that the Ukrainians are missing important forces in the Donbass, which is exacerbating the situation there. Russian perspective: Offensive with losses On the Russian side, the greatest success remained the capture of Donetsk areas, including important resources such as hard coal and lithium. Despite military gains, including strategically important cities such as Avdiivka, pro-Russian bloggers complain of massive losses. The war continues to claim high casualties on both sides. #weltnetzreporter #ukraine #russia #war Subscribe to the WELT Netzreporter Channel / dienetzreporter WELT Nachrichtensender Channel / weltvideotv WELT DOKU Channel / weltdoku WELT Podcast Channel / weltpodcast The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT Nachrichtensender on Instagram https://bit.ly/IGWELTTV WELT on Instagram http://bit.ly/2X1M7Hk On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to allow any more comments.
