The fighting in Kursk Oblast is coming to an end after nearly 9 months of battles. Ukrainian forces now control less than 10km² inside Kursk Oblast compared to over 1,200km² at their peak. Nearly all of the fighting is taking place within 2km of the international border.
However, despite claims by Putin that the operation to recapture Kursk has been completed, two villages are yet to be recaptured by Russia - Oleshnya and Gornal. Most of Gornal is under Russian control, the rest of the village is probably in the grey zone. As for Oleshnya, roughly a third of the village is under Russian control, a third in the grey-zone and a third under Ukrainian control. Ukraine also maintains positions in several forest plantations on the Russian side of the border.
Nevertheless, it appears that it the battles in Kursk Oblast will be wrapped up shortly, likely within the week.
