Russian President Vladimir Putin made a rare visit to the Kursk region, where he praised the recent advances made by Russian forces and vowed to fully liberate the area from Ukrainian troops soon. Ukraine had surprised everyone last year by storming across the border and seizing territory inside Russia, but their position has significantly weakened in the past week as Russian forces claim further victories.
The Russian Ministry of Defence reported the capture of five more villages, with troops seen raising the Russian flag in a town near the Ukrainian border. Putin, dressed in army camouflage, commended his troops for their progress and urged them to continue their mission.
In response, Ukraine’s army commander hinted at a potential withdrawal to minimize losses, emphasizing the priority of saving Ukrainian soldiers’ lives. Despite increased pressure from Russian forces, Ukraine is determined to hold the defense in the Kursk region for as long as necessary.
As the conflict escalates, the United States has called for a 30-day ceasefire that Ukraine supports, but Putin has expressed disinterest in a temporary truce and seeks a complete end to the fighting. The situation remains tense as both sides jockey for control in the Kursk region.
