Pavlo Narozhnyi, founder of Charity Organization Reactive Post and military expert, discussed the prospects of the Kursk operation on Radio NV.

"Pavlo Narozhnyi, a military expert and founder of Charity Organization Reactive Post, stated on Radio NV that there are currently no signs of a significant enemy counterattack in Kursk Oblast.

He noted that Ukrainian forces remain at established positions, with the focus now on neutralizing a group in the Glushkov district.

'The operation appears successful at the moment, and we expect to remain in Kursk Oblast at least until the end of the year,' Narozhnyi said.

He also addressed The Guardian's report that Russia had been aware of Ukraine's invasion plans for months, stating, 'It was difficult for the Russians not to notice the Ukrainian forces in Sumy Oblast, especially with their DRGs operating there.

They likely sensed something was being prepared, but I doubt they anticipated a large-scale invasion.'

On Aug. 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the operation in Kursk Oblast, which began on Aug. 6, aimed at liberating border territories from Russian forces that have shelled Sumy Oblast.

By Sept. 2, he indicated that the operation was progressing as planned.

However, reports from DeepState on Sept. 11 revealed increased Russian assault operations in the area.

On Sept. 12, Ukrainian forces broke through a new section of the Russian border, and by Sept. 18, military representatives announced that the Russian counteroffensive had been halted."
