John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council, said that Vladimir Putin could stop the war against Ukraine if he were concerned about the situation in the Kursk region.
"This is Putin's war against Ukraine, and if he doesn't like something, if something doesn't satisfy him, there is a straightforward solution: let him get out of Ukraine and stop the war." Since the beginning of last week, the Ukrainian military has been conducting operations in the territory of the Kursk region of Russia and, according to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi controls up to 1,000 square meters of territory.
