Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has convened a meeting on the situation in the regions bordering Ukraine and instructed the Russian Defense Ministry to "dislodge the enemy" of the Kursk region.

According to Censor.NET, with reference to the Russian media, Putin said this during the meeting.

"The main task of the Ministry of Defense is to push, drive the enemy out of our territories and, together with the border service, provide reliable coverage of the state border," he said.

Putin also instructed the FSB and Rosgvardia to ensure the counterterrorism operation in the Kursk region and to effectively counter sabotage groups of the Armed Forces.

"The main thing now is to solve the urgent tasks that are being developed at this time and based on forecasts of the situation," Putin added.

According to the Russian dictator, "the pace of offensive operations of the Russian armed forces, volunteer fighters, and veterans has not only not decreased, but on the contrary, has increased by one and a half times."

"Along the entire front line, our armed forces are advancing," Putin said.
