In the Kursk direction, measures were taken to disperse Russian troops just below the Kursk region to prevent Russia's invasion of the Sumy region.

This was announced by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, answering a question from Interfax-Ukraine, Censor.NET reports.

According to him, there is a physical presence of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region.

"In the Kursk direction, as I said, the guys are doing everything possible and impossible... there is our physical presence there without any encirclement... While we are there, it is a deterrent to prevent the Russians from invading the Sumy region... We are preparing with appropriate steps, reducing the accumulation of their troops and dispersing them... for this purpose, we have taken appropriate steps just below the Kursk region," Zelenskyy said.

He noted that Ukraine is preparing for possible developments in the Kursk region.

According to the President, the situation in the East has improved, as Russians do not have enough forces to launch an effective offensive.

The President added that although there was no great success, the situation remained difficult but normal.
