Ukraine troops in Kursk have been told to keep holding the line as they believe Russia is preparing to take back the territory before U.S. president-elect Donald Trump takes office in the new year.Ukrainian soldiers have been told to hold their positions in Kursk, which they believe Russia will try to take back before U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in January.
More than a half-dozen soldiers stationed in Kursk told CBC News that they understand the pressure to negotiate is mounting, but they can't envision how both sides could possibly reach a deal — let alone one that would last beyond a temporary truce. A Ukrainian soldier identified by his call sign, Bryn, right, stands beside his son. Bryn is stationed in Russia's Kursk region, his son is on the Donetsk front near the town of Kurakhove. He said that is not the case in Kursk, where he is part of a team tasked with trying to bring down Shahed drones that explode upon crashing into a target.
Another soldier, who goes by the call sign Historic, told CBC News that if the war ends with Russia keeping the Ukrainian territory it seized, he can't imagine staying in the country. He would try to move his wife and young children abroad, he said.
