As part of the Kursk operation, Ukrainian defenders are holding back a fairly significant group of Russian troops. We are talking about 50 thousand personnel of the occupier's army, who cannot be sent to other directions.
President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in an evening video address following 992 days of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
— We greatly appreciate the bravery of all our soldiers and each unit involved in these battles, — the President of Ukraine said.
