Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that Ukrainian forces are continuing to advance further into Russia’s Kursk region.
In a message on social media, the Ukrainian leader said forces have moved forward one to two kilometers in various directions today.
Russia said on Wednesday that it had destroyed 117 Ukrainian drones in Russia overnight, mostly in the Kursk, Voronezh and Belgorod and Nizhny Novgorod regions. It said missiles had also been shot down and showed Sukhoi Su-34 bombers striking Ukrainian positions in Kursk.
Russia has accused Ukraine of “committing crimes” – and says any prospect of peace talks are now on a “long pause.”
