Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated that there is no encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation following a today's report from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky.
"The operation of our forces in certain areas of Kursk region continues. The units are performing tasks exactly as needed. 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.
'We also see areas along our eastern border where the Russian army is amassing forces. This indicates a desire to strike at our Sumy region. We understand this and will counteract it,' he wrote.
The president emphasized that the buildup of Russian forces signals Moscow's intention to disregard diplomacy in the future.
'Russia's prolonging of the war is evident. 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,' the statement said."
