Estonian Defence Minister lists pros and cons of Ukraine's operation in Kursk Oblast

Quote: "If Ukraine goes further into Kursk [Oblast], the distances here will be drastically different. And I would describe this as being both positive and negative. Of course, the disadvantage is that they cannot use these weapons; nevertheless, the advantage is that it drives Ukrainians to develop their weapons and missiles," Pevkur said.

Details: He said he understood Ukraine's decision not to notify its allies of the impending offensive in Kursk Oblast.
