The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
The Kursk offensive was instrumental in stopping Russia's plans to occupy the Kharkiv region, as well as possible incursions into Sumy and Chernihiv. This was part of a wider plan to achieve victory for Ukraine by paving the way for peace talks.
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia is incrementally pushing back Ukraine's assault into Kursk and Moscow's forces are eliminating enemy troops and equipment in the region. There can no longer be any prospect of peace talks while Ukraine's actions in Russia are ongoing.
