Ukraine’s armed forces are pulling back from large portions of Russia’s Kursk region, according to military analysts. At one point, Ukrainian troops had seized control of nearly 500 square miles inside Russian territory. However, after sustained counterattacks, their hold has shrunk drastically—down to just 30 square miles close to the border.

Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted that Ukrainian soldiers are now fully surrounded. In a stark warning, he declared they face only two grim choices: surrender or perish.

The retreat marks a significant shift on the frontlines, raising questions about Ukraine’s broader offensive strategy and resource strain as the war drags on.
