Recovery of “Corsk” by Russia; Balance Change in the battlefield and negotiating table – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

‌Mehr News Agency, International Group, Hassan Shokouhi Nasab: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday (April 7 / May 6) announcing the recapture of the Corsk area and congratulating the Korsk area completely to all Russian military forces and commanders, saying that the full defeat of the enemy in the Corsk border area would provide conditions for more successful measures in other Russian armed forces. The liberation of the Corsk area brings the failure of the Ukrainian government closer.

At the same time, Valerie Gramesov, the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, also reported to the president about the liberation of Corsk: More than 6,000 Ukrainian armed forces were killed and wounded in the Korsk area. The settlements in the Korsk area were thoroughly examined and cleared of mine.

For the first time, he announced the presence of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine, adding that the North Korean army in the Koursk area of ​​the Russian army acted and showed courage and courage. Ukraine, meanwhile, has rejected Russian officials’ full release of Corsk, claiming that about 2 square kilometers of the Korsk area is under Ukrainian forces and clashes continue.

It should be noted that in August, Ukrainian forces cross the border crossing the Korsk area in western Russia. At the height of the operation, Ukraine had about 2 square kilometers of Russian territory and controlled more than 5 settlements, including Sodja. Since September 1, Russia has been trying to recapture the occupied areas by carrying out numerous operations, including Operation Potok. Finally, in April, Russia announced that it has also released the last Ukrainian -controlled town, Gornal.

The strategic importance of the Korsk area

The Corsk area has long been recognized as one of the key Russian national security axes. The geographical location of the province, located on the western border of Russia and near Ukraine, has made it a natural line to defend Russian soil. Corsk is a critical ring in the supply chain, defense and communication lines in western Russia, and its dominance for each party involved in the war allows direct pressure on the rival’s strategic depth.

From a military point of view, Corsk is a gateway towards central Russia. The existence of extensive rail and road transport networks in the area allows invading armies to quickly move their logistics and moves to more sensitive areas. At the same time, for defenders, control of Korsk means closing the paths of penetration towards Moscow and preventing the spread of threat to Russian territory. Thus, throughout contemporary history, the region has always been one of Russia’s defense lines against Western invasions.

Corsk’s economic importance has also added to its strategic weight. The area has valuable mineral resources, including one of the largest iron ore reserves in Russia, the Korsk Minerals (KMA). The security of these resources is critical for the sustainability of the Russian steel, energy and defense industries. The capture or threat of this area by the enemy disrupts important industrial chains and puts additional economic pressure on the Kremlin; What happened by Ukraine during the months of occupation of Corsk.

In addition, the symbolic and psychological importance of Corsk’s liberation should not be overlooked. In World War II, the area was one of the biggest tank battles in history, where the Red Army resisted the Nazi German invasion, and victory in the Corsk battle became a symbol of Russian sustainability and endurance. For this reason, the re -mastery of Corsk for the Russians is not only an operational victory, but also a revival of a historical sense of honor.

Overall, Korsk’s control for Russia has a combination of military, economic, geographical and symbolic interests. The loss of this area could have had heavy consequences for national security and internal cohesion, while recapturing it is a strategic achievement that has a direct impact on the process of war and peace talks.

The importance of Kursky’s recapture in the middle of the peace talks

The liberation of Corsk by Russian forces is an important turning point in the Ukrainian war. This military victory came right at a time when peace talks have reached a critical stages with direct US mediation and Donald Trump’s initiative. In this context, the Korskos recapture for Moscow has created a valuable bargaining lever.

Therefore, Russia can now, in the negotiations,, to rely on its new field achievement, to raise more strict conditions and to enter the dialogue from a higher position. Such a situation will undoubtedly change the diplomatic equations and allows the Kremlin to present the image of a deterrent and invincible power against Ukraine and its Western supporters.

The liberation of Corsk sent clear messages to the world, especially the West. This success has once again shown that Western military support for Ukraine, despite the importance and extent, does not guarantee sustainable success in the battlefield.

With the same attitude and understanding of the real circumstances, Trump has repeatedly put pressure on Zelksky to accept defeat and grant. The US president, who had previously threatened to withdraw from the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, has recently called for Crimea’s official identification as part of Russian territory. He has suggested that Russia’s rule over Crimea be recognized in exchange for the clashes. Therefore, the US president’s proposal includes consolidating current front lines, banning Ukraine’s membership in NATO, and lifting sanctions imposed by Russia for the past year in response to Russia’s occupation of the Crimean Peninsula.

Of course, as expected, the US president’s plan was opposed by Brussels leaders. For example, British Prime Minister Kier Starmer in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, implicitly rejecting Washington’s proposal to officially identify Crimea as part of Russian territory, said: “In the end, this is Ukraine to decide on his future, not others.”

Trump’s proposal and opposition to European countries such as Starmer goes back to the pre -Korsk. Some analysts believe that this transformation may shake the European countries’ determination to continue military and financial support from Ukraine, especially as internal pressure in these countries has increased to find a political solution and end the war.

Finally, the liberation of Corsk should be considered as a confluence of the battlefield and the negotiating table. The event shows that field developments can still shape or divert the path of diplomacy. Russia’s military success in Corsk can lead to extension of war, intensification of peace, or even redefining the geopolitical borders of the region. For this reason, the fate of this battle beyond its local geography will affect the future of international order, Ukraine’s position and the Western approach to Russia.
