Zelenskyy: We continue active defensive actions in Kursk and Belgorod regions

Ukrainian troops continue active defensive actions in the Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation.

This was announced by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy following a report by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi.

It is noted that the situation remains difficult in many areas. Already in the middle of this day, almost 70 Russian assaults on Ukrainian positions took place. The fighting continues. Most of the fighting is taking place in the Pokrovske, Kramatorsk, Lymany and Kursk sectors.

«Our military continue active defensive actions in the designated areas of Kursk and Belgorod regions», Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.

As Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed, the situation at the front and the real activity of the Russian army prove that the existing international pressure on Russia to end this war is not enough.

«We need more tangible pressure on Russia to give more opportunities for real diplomacy. I thank everyone in the world who is with Ukraine», Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.

As a reminder, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valerii Gerasimov reported to Vladimir Putin on the complete liberation of the territory of the Kursk region.
