Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said his forces have captured around 1,000 square kilometers of territory in Russia's Kursk region.
  • Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive into Russia’s Kursk region last Tuesday.
  • They have captured around 1,000 square kilometers of Russian land so far, Kyiv’s top general said.

    I think the point is no one really wants any country to have that much territory it just causes problems, especially when large parts of it are not really productive. It just results in a very large population and an enormous burden on the government.
