Ukraine is sending “signals” to Trump with an offensive in Kursk: “”it is demonstrating that it knows how to use this military support”

Helena Ferro de Gouveia and Major General Arnaut Moreira explain the recent developments of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kursk. “It is primarily an operation of a political nature”, says the geopolitical expert, whose initial aim in August was to “embarrass Putin” and “force him to make a choice”. Arnaut Moreira says that, just days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, “Ukraine wants to show that, if properly equipped, it has the will and knowledge to also conduct operations of an offensive nature”. Helena Ferro Gouveia agrees that this is a “signal” for Trump. “Ukraine is demonstrating that it knows how to use this military support, not just to defend itself, but to regain more territory,” he says.
