The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenski, stated at the last press conference: "Russian wars were moving faster in the Pokrovsk sector before the start of the Kursk operation". He called all the situation at Pokrowski "extremely difficult". 1 of the objectives of the operation of the Kursk Armed Forces of Ukraine was to force Moscow to extract the evidence from east Ukraine and to decision it to Kursk. It worked. As General Alexander Syrski, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian defence, pointed out, the Russians withdrew any of their forces. Syrian estimates that the Kremlin has shifted "even 30,000 Russian soldiers from Ukraine to the course". There is simply a discussion on whether these estimates are correct, but surely part of the Russian militant forces active in Ukraine were transferred to Russia. This is indicated by many material published by the Russian military on the alleged rune. It was besides admitted by the Kremlin itself, who, on the list of units whose commanders referred Vladimir Putin to the situation under Suja, mentioned mainly formations known from battles in Ukraine.
