Russian media outlets and military bloggers assert that Ukrainian forces are suffering significant casualties along the Kursk front. They claim that Russia has deployed additional troops and heavy artillery to effectively counter the offensive. They claim that Russian missiles, drones, and airstrikes are resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers each day. If true, this would pose a severe challenge for the relatively small Ukrainian military contingent.
At the same time, the information landscape in Ukraine is replete with triumphant announcements. There are claims that Ukrainian forces have seized numerous Russian settlements and nearly 400 square miles of territory in the Kursk region, prompting Moscow to evacuate at least 200,000 people. Ukraine has ample justification for its pride. This offensive is the most significant incursion on Russian territory since the onset of the conflict.
