Thanks to the Ukrainian forces in Kursk region, a significant number of Russian forces were pulled back from other directions. Our troops continue to deter the corresponding groups of Russia and North Korea in Kursk region. Our troops are not surrounded," the president said in a message on his Telegram channel.
Additionally, Zelenskyy stated that the war is being prolonged by the Russian Federation, reporting the buildup of enemy forces along the eastern border.
