Ukraine had given a big blow to Russia by capturing some areas of the western Kursk region.
Now discussions have also started as to why Russia has not been able to answer this question till now. Experts cite several reasons for this.
However, there are also reports that Russia has slowly started responding to this action. The special thing is that after the attack in February 2022, this is being considered the fourth major blow to the regime of President Vladimir Putin.
Last week, the Ukrainian army attacked northeast of Kiev, capturing several villages and taking Russian soldiers prisoner.
Talking to USA Today, a US official said that Ukraine did not inform the White House or the Pentagon about the attack. Meanwhile, Putin has also blamed Ukraine’s allies for this attack.
what could be the reason
According to the report, a US official said that the Russian army lacks quick reaction forces, which can be ready for action in case of emergency.
Russian forces fired millions of artillery shells into eastern and southern Ukraine during the offensive, but Moscow has been reluctant to use heavy artillery to drive Ukrainians out of Kursk, two officials said.
Talking to the American newspaper, officials said that one reason could be that the Russians do not want to attack their own areas. According to the report, Russia may also be short of ammunition after the continuous war in eastern Ukraine.
A US official says that Russia has started increasing forces to face Ukrainian forces in Kursk. Also, one of the reasons for Russia’s slow retaliation is being said that they do not have a clear idea of what Ukraine is trying to do.
An American official told the newspaper that one reason for Ukraine’s attack could be to capture Russian soldiers, who could be used in a prisoner exchange.
It is being said that more than 3 thousand prisoners of war have returned home through exchange. However, it is still not clear how many prisoners of war both sides have.
Ukrainian forces destroy another bridge in Kursk
The conflict continues in Kursk, Russia. Here the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed a bridge over the Seim River and attacked a nearby bridge.
Military and other supplies were being supplied to the Russian army through this bridge. This attack has taken place less than two weeks after the infiltration across the border. This attack has disrupted the Russian supply route. The destruction of the bridge may affect Russia’s war operations.
Ukraine says it wants to disrupt its supply routes. The attack was carried out near the village of Zvanoye, 15 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk said, “Another bridge has been destroyed, Air Force aircraft hit the bridge with precision. We will continue to deprive the enemy of access to logistics.”
They have also released a video of the attack. A Russian blogger has also shared pictures of the destroyed bridge. On Friday, Ukraine targeted a bridge on the Seim River near the city of Glushkovo.
