Zelenskyy on strike on enemy’s command post in Kursk region before new offensive: 20 officers eliminated
Before the new offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region, the Defense Forces struck the enemy's command post in the Kursk region, killing a significant number of officers.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with Reuters, Censor.NET reports.
He recalled that during the offensive on February 6 this year, the Defense Forces managed to advance 2.5 kilometers deep into Russian territory.
According to Zelenskyy, in order to repel the offensive, Russia returned DPRK troops to the battlefield. As a result, the enemy has 230 "two hundredths".
"Our brigades have made successful steps. A large number of Russian troops have been drawn (to the Kursk region - Ed.) from the East and South... Before we had gone 2.5 kilometers, our troops hit their command center in the Kursk region, and a large number of officers were killed there. I was told that 20 officers were probably killed. Among them are senior North Korean officers and Russians," he added.
Earlier, the head of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov said that about 8,000 DPR mercenaries continue to fight in the Kursk region.
