Putin is ready to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers at Trump's request

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he is ready to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers stationed in the Kursk region at the request of former US President Donald Trump. He said this at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on March 14.

"If the Ukrainian soldiers are given the order to lay down their arms, their lives will be guaranteed"

According to Putin, in order to implement Trump's appeal, the Ukrainian leadership must give its soldiers the appropriate order to lay down their arms and surrender. He stressed that if the Ukrainian army surrenders, their lives will be guaranteed.

Trump wrote in his statement on the social network that "thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are surrounded" and that he had appealed to Putin and "asked to save their lives." However, he did not specify which part of the front he was referring to. However, analysts suggest that Trump may have been referring to the Kursk region, where Russian troops are attacking.

Reports from the Kursk region and a statement from the Ukrainian General Staff

According to videos from the Kursk region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFK) have withdrawn from most of their positions in the region. At the moment, Ukrainian troops control only the Sudzha border crossing point and several villages around it. There are reports that drone strikes by the Russian Armed Forces have made it difficult for the Ukrainian army to supply the area. However, according to the Ukrainian General Staff, information about the encirclement is not true and should be interpreted as political pressure.

"Our soldiers are repelling enemy attacks, effectively opening fire from all types of weapons," the Ukrainian General Staff said in a statement. It was also noted that on March 14, 13 combat engagements took place in the Kursk direction and that there was no danger of Ukrainian troops being encircled.

Zelensky: Operation in Kursk region achieved its goal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the situation in the Kursk region and announced that the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area had achieved their goal. According to him, as a result of the entry of the Ukrainian army into the Kursk region, stability was ensured in the Pokrovsk and Kharkiv directions.

"It will not be easy for the enemy to find an opportunity to threaten Pokrovsk again," Zelensky said. According to him, Ukrainian troops are effectively moving to hold their positions and the situation is currently under control.

The situation in the Kursk region remains unclear, and only time will tell what direction military operations will take in the coming days. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
