Kursk operation shows world that Russia can lose war – Zelenskyy
The operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kursk proves to the world that Russia can lose the war against Ukraine, stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to the President, today he listened to a report from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi. They discussed the Pokrovsk direction and the Ukrainian military operation in the Kursk region.
"We are holding our defined positions, and with each day of the Kursk operation, we prove to the world that Russia can lose this war. The only thing needed for this is our determination and the determination of everyone in the world who influences global affairs. It is not for Moscow to determine the future of our people. And this is how it must always be," Zelenskyy emphasized.
