In the Kursk region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine control 92 settlements and an area of 1250 km², announced the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
"A few months ago, if many people heard that we were planning an operation like the one in the Kursk region, they would say that it is unrealistic and that this crosses the supposed red lines of all the red lines in Russia.
"These days, all the concepts of Russia's "red lines" have been destroyed near Suja," said Zelensky.
