Kursk operation
A month ago, on August 6, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched an operation in the Kursk region of Russia. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continued offensive actions and replenished the exchange fund.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Kursk operation was a preventive strike, as Russia was planning offensive actions in the Sumy region. According to the head of state, the Kursk operation went according to a positive scenario, so the Ukrainian Armed Forces used Plan A.
Zelenskyy also emphasized that Ukraine would hold Russian territories until Vladimir Putin was forced to negotiate.
