Zelensky spoke about what Russian troops are planning to do

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian troops are trying to encircle the military in the Kursk direction on Ukrainian territory. He made a statement about Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans in this regard. This was reported by "Ukrainskaya Pravda".

"In my opinion, the Russian side intends to encircle the Ukrainian military in this direction, that is, in the Kursk direction, on Ukrainian territory. Most importantly, our troops and command are aware of this and we clearly understand where they intend to do this. They, of course, want to be present on Ukrainian territory as much as possible, and there is nothing new," Zelensky said at a briefing.

Zelensky called the information about the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region "Putin's lie." He stressed that the operation of the Ukrainian army in the region continues.

"Today I am grateful that our intelligence data coincided. We discussed that the information about the presence of the Ukrainian side in the Kursk region and the encirclement of Ukrainian soldiers is Putin's lie. There is no encirclement of Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region," Zelensky said.

Russian army preparing to strike Sumy region

The Ukrainian president said that the fact that the Russian army is gathering forces along the eastern border of Ukraine indicates that it is planning an attack on Sumy region.

"We see the Russian army building up. This indicates a desire to strike at the Sumy region. We understand this and are ready to resist. All partners should understand what Putin is planning, what he is preparing for and what he is ignoring," Zelensky said.

He stressed that the build-up of Russian forces indicates Moscow's intention to ignore diplomacy.

"The war will definitely be prolonged by Russia. We are ready to provide our partners with all the real information about the situation on the front, in the Kursk region and along the border," he added.

On March 13, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he agreed to a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine on one condition. According to him, this proposal can be accepted only if it leads to a long-term peace.
