Ihor Skybiuk commanded a sweeping Ukrainian offensive into Russian territory in the summer of 2024 during the Kursk offensive.
Ukraine has seized control of 100 settlements and captured nearly 600 Russian soldiers.
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi estimated in late August that 30,000 troops had been diverted to the region.
Ukrainian troops were facing an almost empty Russian rear, which Moscow was simply unable to defend.
The Kursk operation required only one thing – the courage to 'turn the table.'
Ukrainian warriors entered the territory of Kursk in early August and by the end of the month liberated 100 settlements
Pavlo Ivanovych called me: 'We need to go abroad'... The next morning, within two hours, I completed all the paperwork and arrived at the 80th Brigade — four hours before the start of the operation in the Kursk region.
