The General Staff reported on the situation in the Kursk direction.

Ukrainian troops remain in the Kursk region

Ukrainian forces continue to be present in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation and are carrying out tasks to maintain a buffer zone on the border with Russia. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that this is necessary to prevent a possible offensive in the Sumy and Kharkiv directions.

The important operation has been ongoing for over 9 months

The Kursk operation has been ongoing for over 9 months, according to the General Staff's data. The main tasks have been successfully accomplished. Assault units of the Defense Forces are actively operating on the border with Kursk, despite the challenges, as it holds significant strategic importance.

Russia is trying to push Ukrainian forces out of Kursk and create 'safe zones' on the border with Ukraine. The occupiers are mobilizing reserves from other fronts, including airborne troops and naval infantry, to reinforce actions on various fronts.

Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine detained a driver of the assault regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk direction, who was directing Russian strikes on the positions of his unit.

Also, as a result of an earlier drone strike, the house of the head of the Hlushkivskyi district, Pavlozolotaryov, caught fire, where Russian army officers were residing.

Analysis

The report on the actions in the Kursk region emphasizes the importance of the strategic mission of the Ukrainian troops in this area. The tension at the border and the activity of the Russian occupiers indicate the complexity of the current situation in Ukraine.
