Ukraine hopes its incursion into Russia will change the outcome of the war. For the troops near Russia’s border, there is a strong desire to end Russia’s invasion on acceptable terms. Survival is indeed a core driver, but they appear to be aiming for a definitive end.

“For Ukraine, our people, we’ll stand until the end,” says Arni.

Until August 6, Ukraine’s sole objective was liberation, aiming to repel Russian forces back to the borders as they were before Russia’s initial invasion in 2014. Despite a slow and grinding pace, the reverse has been happening for the past year and a half, with Moscow gradually eroding Ukrainian territory.

Then came an unexpected ‘all in’ counter-offensive into Russia’s Kursk region, which surprised everyone except the battle-hardened Ukrainian soldiers who executed it.
