The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to demonstrate unwavering determination in the fight against the aggressor. The Kursk operation, which began on August 6, 2024, became an important stage in the fight against the terrorist country. For the first time in more than a decade of war, hostilities moved to the territory of the aggressor.
The purpose of the operation was to deter a potential enemy attack on Sumy Oblast and create a protective barrier. This strategic move forced the enemy forces to redeploy significant forces to the region, including elite units such as marines, paratroopers, and special forces. However, even this did not save the invaders from significant losses.
During five months of intense fighting, the invaders lost more than 38,000 servicemen, of which about 15,000 were killed. Ukrainian forces also destroyed a large amount of equipment, including 104 tanks, 575 armored vehicles, 330 artillery systems, aircraft, drones and even air defense systems.
A tangible blow to the enemy was the destruction of a significant number of North Korean mercenaries, who were recruited by the Russian Federation to replenish its reserves. Of the nearly 12,000 arrivals, about 4,000 have already been liquidated, and the rest have suffered significant losses of combat capability.
The Armed Forces captured 860 enemy soldiers, which allowed not only to strengthen the exchange fund, but also to return home our defenders.
