Pokrovsk is a major logistics hub for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who have heavily fortified the city since 2014. Russian forces have been conducting heavy attacks on Pokrovsk in recent weeks, with American officials acknowledging on Monday that the Russians have been making “incremental gains”toward the city.Ukrainian forces invaded Russia’s Kursk Region on August 6, in the largest attack on internationally recognized Russian territory since the outbreak of hostilities in February 2022. The advance was quickly halted by the Russian military, but fighting in the region continues, and Ukrainian troops still hold a number of settlements in the border area.According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the incursion has cost Ukraine more than 3,400 service members and around 400 armored vehicles.The Ukrainian leadership has been inconsistent in explaining its goals for the Kursk operation. Initially, the office of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky said the capture of Russian territory was necessary to intimidate the Russian public and obtain a stronger position during eventual peace talks with Moscow. <a href="https://www.rt.com/russia/602780-ukraine-west-secret-kursk-incursion/" target="_blank">READ MORE: Ukraine’s top general attacked Kursk out of desperation – Economist</a>The messaging later shifted, with Zelensky claiming that he aimed to create a buffer zone inside Russian territory and deter Moscow from ordering an attack on Ukraine’s Sumy Region, which borders Kursk.However, anonymous sources have told The Economist that Syrsky was on the cusp of being fired in early August, and ordered the Kursk operation out of “desperation.” Faced with mounting losses in Donbass, Syrsky’s main objective “was to draw [Russian] troops away from the Donbass stranglehold, and to create bargaining chips for any future negotiation,” the British magazine reported last week.</blockquote>
