Zelensky: The Armed Forces of Ukraine have completed their main task in the Kursk region

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (UAF) fulfilled their main task in the Kursk region — diverting the power of Russian troops from other directions of the front. This was reported by Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian president acknowledged that the situation in the Kursk region is "extremely complex." According to Zelensky, the task of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area of ​​the front was to distract Russian troops from the Pokrovsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy directions.

"Our guys who took on the heavy blow are real heroes. The pressure was first eased in the direction of Kharkiv. They [Russia] withdrew their troops to the maximum towards Kurshina. Then they began to withdraw troops from the eastern direction, but did not abandon their main goal - Pokrovsk. We understood all this. We understood all this. Only determined people who understood the situation understood that at some point the Russians would stop in the Pokrovsk direction. And that's exactly what happened," Zelensky said.

According to the Ukrainian president, the situation in the Pokrovsk and Kharkiv directions has now “stabilized.”

"I believe that they [the UDF operation in the Kursk region] have fulfilled their mission. The situation in the Pokrovsk direction is now stable, and I think it will not be easy to find another opportunity to attack it," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces began their operation in the Kursk region in August 2024, capturing several settlements in the region. Since early March, Russian troops have taken control of more than 20 settlements. At the same time, the Russian government claims that Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region are surrounded. This was also reported by US President Donald Trump. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that these reports are not true.

In turn, Russia said that it was ready to spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region at Trump's request, but only if Kiev ordered them to surrender. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
