Operation of Defence Forces in Kursk region continues. There is no encirclement of our troops - Zelenskyy heard Syrskyi’s report
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy heard a report from Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Zelenskyy said this on Telegram, Censor.NET reports.
According to him, it was about defending positions in Donetsk and other parts of the frontline.
I am grateful to all Ukrainian troops for their resilience and efficiency in destroying the occupier. The situation in the Pokrovske direction has been stabilised. Separately, regarding the Kursk region. The operation of our forces in certain areas of the Kursk region continues. The units are performing their tasks exactly as required. Thanks to the Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region, a significant number of Russian forces were pulled back from other areas. Our troops continue to hold back the respective groups of Russia and North Korea in the Kursk region. Our troops are not surrounded," he said.
Also, according to the President, we see areas along our eastern border of Ukraine where the Russian army is amassing forces.
"This indicates a desire to strike at our Sumy region. We understand this and will counteract it. I would like all partners to understand what Putin is planning, what he is preparing for, and what he will ignore. The accumulation of Russian forces indicates that Moscow intends to ignore diplomacy in the future. Russia's prolongation of the war is obvious. We are ready to provide our partners with all the real information about the situation at the front, in the Kursk region and along the border," he adds.
As a reminder, the day before, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Kursk operation had achieved its main goal of pulling back a significant part of Russian troops from the Pokrovske and Kharkiv directions.
