Summary

U.S. General Christopher Cavoli confirmed Ukrainian forces control part of Russia’s Kursk region and have expanded into Belgorod, marking the first official acknowledgment of Kyiv’s cross-border operations.

Speaking to Congress, Cavoli said Ukraine holds strong defensive terrain and has improved its manpower and training.

DeepState OSINT estimates Ukraine retains 140 km² in Kursk. President Zelenskyy earlier said Ukraine is reinforcing the border amid a potential Russian offensive.

Cavoli stressed that Ukraine is not destined to lose and is better positioned than last year.
