He discussed this on Valeriy Savchuk's author program "Different People".

“Ukrainian forces are putting up quite serious resistance. Currently, the Russians are increasingly refraining from assaults with armored vehicles due to the losses they are sustaining; drones are still flying, and artillery is firing. It's not easy for them. They've started to deploy infantry groups and their airborne troops. By the way, since the beginning of November, paratroopers and units of the Russian military have been transferred to the Kursk region, making it one of the priority areas for the Russian offensive. I would say that right now, Pokrovsk, Kupiansk, and the Kursk region are the three main directions,” says Aleksandr Musienko.

North Koreans, he notes, are present in the Kursk region, which GUR has recorded and disseminated interceptions of; this is true, but they are not currently participating in assaults, as they are stationed 10 km from the front line, and evidently, they are learning from the experience, possibly not wanting to disappoint Kim Jong-un.

As the expert points out, some believe that the Armed Forces of Ukraine should withdraw from the Kursk region, which would free up our forces, but if our troops pull back, they will advance and thus end up near Sumy. Moreover, he adds that even before the start of the Kursk operation, we maintained our forces in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions because this is the border with Russia. Now, the guest of the program asserts, it's clear that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will hold their ground in the Kursk region for as long as necessary.

“This is always an operational game as well. The Russians thought as follows: they predicted that in April-May 2024, they would enter three border Ukrainian regions—Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv—and create problems for us there, forcing us to move our forces there. Accordingly, they would advance in the Donetsk region and by the end of 2024 would fully capture the Donetsk region along with Luhansk, moving deeper into Kharkiv and possibly Sumy and Chernihiv,” warns Aleksandr Musienko.

As reported by Politeka, Musienko stated that NATO is discussing the possibility of preventive precision strikes on Russian territory.

Politeka also wrote about Sheitelman explaining whether the new US administration could end the war.
