In a significant push during Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces breached Russian border defenses 20 miles west of the Kursk salient on Thursday. The successful breach allowed Ukrainian engineers, infantry, and armored vehicles to move deep into Russian territory. Despite the initial success, Ukrainian troops faced heavy resistance, including artillery fire and mines, halting further advancement. The operation, led by multiple Ukrainian brigades, marks another attempt by Ukraine to challenge Russia’s fortified positions. While the breach near the village of Novyi Put was a strategic move, the presence of dense minefields and a quick Russian response hindered the offensive. Ukrainian commanders continue to analyze the operation’s outcome, as this breach could signal a shift in tactics aimed at targeting weaker points in Russian defenses. With the 2023 counteroffensive lessons in mind, Ukrainian forces are adapting strategies for future operations. #UkraineCounteroffensive
