Read our privacy policy Ukraine has launched a multi-pronged attack in the Russian border region of Kursk as it looks to ensure a strong negotiation position ahead of US president-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, off the back of a promise to end the war. Since Kyiv’s forces gained partial control of Kursk following a daring cross-border assault last August, Russian troops, aided by North Korean soldiers, have halved the territory held by Ukraine, albeit while suffering thousands of casualties. “The offensive in Kursk is currently continuing even in a situation where positions in Donetsk are being constantly lost.” US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, however, acknowledged that Ukraine’s hold on Kursk could prove vital in negotiations with Vladimir Putin, overseen by Mr Trump. Speaking in the South Korean capital of Seoul, the outgoing top diplomat of Joe Biden’s administration said: “The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region are very important, because, of course, this is what will matter for any negotiations that may take place in the coming year.” It comes as French president Emmanuel Macron stressed the need for “realistic discussions on territorial questions” regarding the end of the war in Ukraine.
