The commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the losses during the offensive in the Kursk Region were half as much as in defense. The operation dealt a blow to the reputation of the Russian Federation and achieved its goal.

Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky said that during the offensive on the Kurin, Ukrainian troops suffered significantly less losses compared to defensive operations. The operation also dealt a serious blow to Russia's reputation, showing its inability to protect its borders.

This was discussed in the documentary "Operation Kursk", reports UNN.

They (the Russians — Ed.) felt what we feel. That is, they were forced to defend their own territory, and in conditions that were not comfortable for them. Here, during the offensive operations, our losses were actually half as much as during the defense

– said Sirsky.

The offensive hit the reputation of the Russian Federation. This raised the degree, because such a" powerful state " cannot protect its borders.

Each operation has its own beginning, end, and goal. We have achieved the goal for this time of operation. Now the task is to maintain these achievements so that the results of this operation benefit the state both in political and operational terms

– said Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Anatoly Bargilevich.

Sirsky added that this was the only sure way of asymmetric actions that allowed us to balance.

Earlier UNN said that the main task of the operation in the Kursk Region was to move forward as far as the composition of troops allows, without creating risks to the rear and logistics.
